Bill Bellamy, the comedian and actor, accepted the invitation of Joe Budden and Jada Kiss to his popular YouTube show for an in-depth examination of their film. The announcement, in a way, sparked and brought back incredible memories from the past and audience members who were really interested in the ’90s star have already started counting the days until they will be able to hear the stories.

And now, Joe and Jada have created a little teaser that’s keeping everyone talking. He’ll be on the show as a guest tomorrow at noon ET, and the concept is very simple: join us and learn how to be a gamer. It is a very familiar expression for those old enough to remember it, since it is related to the title of Bellamy’s 1997 film, a comedy that has established itself as a cult among an entire generation. It is a complicated appeal for his platform, which breathes this type of unfiltered dialogue with cultural figures.
Although it was a kind of announcement for a guest star on the show, it had an aura of happening. And the public reacted immediately. The comment area went back in time. One user who seemed very accurate recalled how he used to rent VHS from a store as a kid and posted: “I rented How to Be a Gamer when I was in elementary school and they didn’t give me cards… back then when movies on VHS were like a dollar or two!” That’s the crux of the matter. The attention is not only on the film but also on memory, the unique sensory imprint of that time. It is a widespread experience in all cultures.
Many people were simply looking forward to the stories. One comment said, “Oh, this is going to be a good episode of Story Time,” and you can already feel the vibe. Bellamy, who on the other hand is the one who brought the term “Booty Call” to MTV, has been primarily doing stand-up comedy, hosting and acting for a long time. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes knowledge, from the ’90s comedy boom to navigating Hollywood. One follower just commented, “Nice guest choice” under her post along with some fire emojis to emphasize her point. It was a feeling he seemed to feel universally.
However, the focus wasn’t just on Bellamy. Jada Kiss’ outfit in the teaser video received ample credit from one interested party who commented, “Jada got THAT SHIT REALLY!!!!!!” This is a reiteration of the fact that the show’s appeal is not just in the guests but also in the honest and quirky personalities of the hosts. They are similar in form to a meetup, digital barbershop or beauty salon chat.
Along with the nostalgia, there were hints of the future. One person suggested to future guest Ben Baller’s jeweler: “That man has stories for days too.” It indicates that viewers are concerned about the trajectory of the show and see it as a place to tell real stories from the entertainment and hip-hop industry. This follows recent episodes like the one detailing Griselda’s hustle in Buffalo.

In conclusion, this is a wise programming strategy from Joe and Jada. It goes straight for nostalgia and at the same time provides raw, humorous and insightful discussions that are the number one demand of the audience. They’re not criticizing a movie; instead, they are unearthing a period through one of its main actors. It is a beautiful demonstration of the fact that culture, comedy and play are the only sources. Tomorrow at noon will not only be an interview but rather a reunion of everyone who lived through the cold of the ’90s. The show often sparks debate, as seen in the hilarious debate over Cardi B’s Mount Rushmore. There have also been rumors of a collaboration with Joey Bada.
