My Interview with Famous Comedian and Movie Star Robin Williams
Before we get started with the interview, here’s some background on Mr. Williams: “Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 — August 11, 2014) was an American actor and comedian. Known for his improvisational skills and a wide variety of memorable voices, he is often regarded as one of the best comedians of all time. Williams began performing stand-up comedy in San Francisco and Los Angeles during the mid-1970s and rose to fame for playing the alien Mork in the sitcom Mork & Mindy (1978–1982).

Meet Omari Bonner
Meet Omari Bonner Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, I have always had a way with words. At an early age, I had developed a love for reading and writing. This carried over to my teen and early adult years, and I ended up using my talent to write music. My music was special to me because it allowed me to express myself, and put my energy and life experiences into my music. After a brief stint in the music industry, I thought about how I could continue to use words as expressing myself, so I thought about writing a book. At the time, my mother was battling a gambling addiction at the same time she was diagnosed with cancer. I sat and brainstormed about the situation and came up with the idea to write about it. My first book, Lord Please Make It Stop, was the way I dealt with everything that was going on.

Now that the pandemic has forced Nev to host Catfish from home and go on without its usual globetrotting travel schedule, suddenly, Nev found himself with the time and opportunity to be part of Dancing with the Stars and have the experience he secretly desired.
