KATT WILLIAMS (Delicious) is a comedian known as much for his
permed hair as for his animated performances and quick wit. He
began paving his path to Hollywood over a decade ago. At an age
when most teenagers are eagerly anticipating getting their driver's
licenses, the young comic quickly discovered that he had a gift for
making people laugh. Inspired by the likes of great humorists such
as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Whoopi
Goldberg, and Dave Chapelle (whom he calls the Malcolm X of
comedy), Williams' incomparably acerbic standup routines are laying
the blueprint for a new generation of comics.
About the
movie
The first African American ensemble comedy for the Christmas
season, The Perfect Holiday stars Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut,
Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Malik Hammond, Charlie Murphy,
Faizon Love, Jeremy Gumbs, Jill Marie Jones, and Rachel True.
Nancy (Union) is a divorced mother of three who is so busy
raising her children that she's forgotten to take care of herself
as well. With Christmas fast approaching, she decides to take her
kids to the mall to meet Santa Claus, not knowing that her youngest
daughter Emily (Khail Bryant) has sensed her mother's sadness and
is determined to use her time with Santa to make her mom happy
again. Just a few days prior, Emily heard her mom say that all she
wanted for Christmas was a compliment from a man, so that's exactly
what she tells Santa. Ironically, Santa, as it turns out, is
struggling songwriter Benjamin (Chestnut), who ends up giving Nancy
just what she wants for Christmas, and much, much more.
