Following his first appearance on "Comic Justice," Cole has since appeared frequently in comedic bits on both "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" and "Conan."

Additionally, Cole has performed his stand up routine on programs such as "John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show," "Mash Up" and "Lopez Tonight." Cole has performed as a featured comic in the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival and the CanWest Comedy Fest. Additionally, he was a finalist in NBC's "Stand-Up for Diversity Showcase" and he won BET's Robin Harris Award for most original comic.

Cole is also a successful actor, having appeared in MTV's "Short Circuitz" and "Wild N' Out" with Nick Cannon, as well as the first two movies in the "Barbershop" series.
