Williams was carrying his small kid over his head when the child dropped a bottle, knocking out both of his front teeth. Williams began wearing hats to put a shadow over his lips because he was embarrassed to perform with his teeth in this state.

He started referring to himself as “Kat in the Hat.” The nickname eventually gave way to his present name.

After appearing in the movie Friday After Next in 2002, the comic ascended through the ranks of stand-up comedy. Moving forward, he performed to sold-out crowds and went on to appear in over 40 films and television programs, including Girlfriends and Cuts, as well as Norbit and Scary Movie V.
