As a producer (and many times talent scout), industry influencers consider Sumner a “Career Maker” in the world of comedy. He is often referred to as the “Black” Lorne Michaels (creator of Saturday Night Live and other comedy television shows), others equate him to music industry's Clarence Avant. Either way, he is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and his comic discoveries are legendary.
