Comic Ali Siddiq on fatherhood, prison, and his biggest regret

18 de junio de 2026 · 44m

Siddiq grew up in Houston with a largely absent father. In his new stand-up special, he paints a picture of the flawed man he admired – and reflects on his own experience as a parent. Siddiq spoke with Tonya Mosley about his upbringing, his time selling drugs, and making the leap from prison to comedy. 

Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews ‘Toy Story 5.’
