The path between Chicago's south side and "King of Comedy" was a circuitous one for Bernie Mac. He made more than a few mistakes along the way, but those missteps ultimately served as mile markers along a unique path to career dominance.
By the time he got his big break, he had allowed those stumbles to mold him into a pro that was quick on his feet, and was able to communicate a fearlessness that would be an invaluable asset in high pressure situations.
This is the story of the high stakes moment that served as the catalyst for Bernie Mac's slow rise to the top. Without it, he may never have become, "The King of Comedy."
