The comedian's statements on The Art Of Dialogue podcast, a media and news company that primarily acts as a source for celebrity interviews, resulted in a flood of social media reactions.

"He had a great sitcom and it was one of my favorite sitcoms, but I was never a fan of his stand-up. Maybe, Seinfeld. His stand-up just didn't do it for me but I love his show. But his stand up I could never really sit and watch," Michael Blackson stated.
Blackson then continued by bringing up Katt Williams, citing that he doesn't think the comedian's last few comedy specials have been "special," explaining:
"I think at one point Katt was so great. His last few specials have not been special to me. Just the last four was not that great but you know Katt went through some moments in his life, but he's still a legend and I still love this guy."
Michael proceeds to explain his view on comedy specials, claiming that these shows should not come out every year and a break between each gig is critical for a comedian's long-lasting success.
Several users took to the comment sections of The Art Of Dialogue's X post, featuring their conversation with Michael Blackson, with one individual criticizing the guest comedian claiming "he's never been funny".
More reactions followed from individuals sharing their opinions on Michael's recent statements on The Art Of Dialogue.
"How’s someone nobody rates out here calling people overrated," a user questioned.
"Michael you have to have at least one great standup yourself to criticize greats. And 20 plus yrs later he still doesn’t have one," a user claimed.
"This is coming from a dude who’s been trying to get “muthasucka” to stick and be funny for at least 30 years now," added another.
Several individuals were seen defending Jerry Seinfeld and Katt Williams in The Art Of Dialogue's comment section.
"Calling out Seinfeld as a standup comedian is low hanging fruit. He's right down there with people like Joe Rogan. Everyone knows they're trash, but it is what it is. Katt peaked several years ago, but his business model works for him and he's still funny, so more power to him," a user stated.
"I’d watch two Katt specials and a Seinfield episode before I watch any Blackson special," a user claimed.
"Seinfeld is a comic genius.. it was unique. Wasn't for everyone, but Michael blackson has been doing the same jokes since 2005," added another.
A few individuals were seen sharing their support for Michael Blackson, seemingly agreeing with the Ghanaian comedian's take on Jerry Seinfeld and Katt Williams.
"I agree with the Seinfeld stand-up. I tried one years ago. I couldn't watch 10 minutes of it, but the sitcom was a classic and Katt one of the goats," a user shared.
"Can’t be mad. It’s his opinion. I kinda agree with giving the specials a longer break but the world doesn't move like that anymore. Katt Williams word is at an all-time high, he got to eat right now," said another.
