that I think were big things that taught me what was funny, or how I realised what I thought was funny.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As I got older, I started looking at stand-up, so I love Jamie Foxx. I loved how he would even sing in his shows. Also I loved Dave Chappelle\u2019s stand up and his sketch work, his ability to bring important topics to the forefront and create a scenario for us to have discussions. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Definitely, as I’ve gotten older and with comedy, I’ve realised that it’s a great opportunity to talk about important things, but obviously that\u2019s not so easy to do.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Dreux, who manages to get into several near-death scrapes, Keke hasn\u2019t faced any similar moments in real life, calling the idea \u2018spooky\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>However, she spares a moment to reflect on the intense experience of bringing her now two-year-old son Leo into the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Probably the nearest death experience that I had was having a baby, you know, which apparently is very much so near death, you know, in terms of just like how traumatic it is for your body and all that type of stuff. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"969\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"article-image wp-image-22667141 lazyload\" alt=\"Keke Palmer and son Leo\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.isshicare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GettyImages-2194236539.jpg\">\t<\/div><figcaption>Keke recalled the moment she had her son, Leo (Picture: TheStewartofNY\/GC Images\/ Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018But I just remember feeling like I was Tom Brady going to the Super Bowl,\u2019 she recalled, simulating her heavy breathing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And I was just thinking what I had to do: \u201ctake the proper breath, push this baby out, and call it a day.
