On Friday (4/27), basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, renowned comedians Capone and Anthony “Chicago” Hall, V103’s DJ Frank Ski, Atlanta mogul DeVyne Stephens, and a host of VIPs including Shaq’s girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander, and former Danity Kane member D. Woods, were part of C by Courvoisier’s “C if U Can Make Shaq Laugh” contest finale in Atlanta, held at Shout. The competition was part of a first-of-its-kind partnership in support of the cognac maker’s new launch, C by Courvoisier, which debuted February 2nd, and Shaq’s “All Star Comedy Jam” currently on tour across the country: C by Courvoisier is the tour’s presenting sponsor.

Courvoisier’s “C If U Can Make Shaq Laugh” competition challenged consumers to break out their comedy chops and make legendary basketball superstar, sportscaster and entertainer Shaq crack up. Three finalists were selected, from hundreds of video submissions, and flown to Atlanta to meet the big guy and perform their act live in front of a crowd. The show was MC’d by DJ Frank Ski and judged by a panel  which consisted of Capone, DeVyne, Chicago and was presided by Shaq. After deliberation, Grand Rapids Michigan native Dave Jones, took home the $5,000.00 grand prize in addition to the “Winner” title! When the show was over, guests enjoyed an exclusive “happy hour” celebration to sip on specialty C by Courvoisier cocktails coupled with bites.
