If you don’t know him by now, today’s the perfect day to get to know Cedric the Entertainer — his life story, his career, and even his net worth — since the comedian is hosting the 73rd Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 19.

“It’s going to be a fun night,” Cedric said at a recent pre-Emmys event, according to the Television Academy. “We’re going to elevate the game a little bit.”

Even though COVID-19 has again disrupted Emmy plans, Cedric will still be entertaining a live audience, albeit a limited one, on TV’s biggest night. “This is celebrating television,” he said. “What I feel is that television has been the winner of all things.”

And Cedric definitely knows a thing or two about television — here are more details about Cedric’s life on the big and little screen so far.

In an Emmys.com interview last year, the actor — born Cedric Antonio Kyles — explained that he fell in love with entertainment while he was growing up in Caruthersville, Mo.

“My grandmother would watch The Jackie Gleason Show, and I thought he was bigger than life,” he said. “He was a big guy, but he was light on his feet and had a funny sense of humor. He just came off as a star.”

After attending Southeast Missouri State University, where he majored in communications, Cedric worked odd jobs: reporting for a CBS affiliate, working at Best Buy, and adjusting claims for State Farm. “I was doing well, but probably within a week of getting that [State Farm] job, I discovered I could do comedy,” he said.

He has racked up millions over his esteemed career so far — and his net worth is estimated at $25 million!
