Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer’s Favorite Things

“I’m going to send this to my little cousin in Missouri. His dad was the real barbecue chef and now he’s taking over. If he has the whole AC package, he’d be the big fish in town. And I’m sure his dad would call me right away and say, ‘Where’s mine?!’ And I’ll have to tell him, ‘You’re not cooking anymore – your son is the new chef!'” — Cedric the entertainer

“My uncle and my father were the BBQ pitmasters in our family – they are no longer with us, but I would love to have been able to pass the set on to them.” -Anthony Anderson

“My sister is a university professor and she loves funny glasses. She is one of those who dresses with colors. These frames have a lot of personality to them and I thought, Man, my sister would love these. She could use a few different styles.” — Cedric the entertainer

“I didn’t have a chance to go to an HBCU. But we’ve grown AC Barbeque in the HBCU community and I thought it would be a great way to support them to pick one of their hats. I love hats. Of course I have a million of them.” — Cedric the entertainer

“I chose this for my nephew who will go outside to play in the mud and then come into the house to wash his hands – only to go outside again and play in the mud. John is also a friend and I always happy to support a friend.” -Anthony Anderson

“This would be a great party starter. It’s good to see where people’s minds are and what they’re thinking. I would give this to my mom who has an eclectic group that includes her best friend Drunk Bobby. I would love to have 100 questions to ask her just to see what she would say.” -Anthony Anderson

“My travel assistant often travels with us, and because he is low on the totem pole, he usually does not go first class. I know he works hard and I wanted to make him a little more comfortable by having him sleep back in the middle seat. I thought he liked the fact that it folds up so he’s not stuck with a big thing.” — Cedric the entertainer

“These are for my brother, who is a trauma nurse. Sometimes he works so hard that he comes home and falls asleep in his scrubs. I’m pretty sure my sister-in-law is tired of it, so I got these so he can sleep peacefully.” -Anthony Anderson

“Maybe five years ago, my wife introduced me to chocolate bark. It was a fun way to have holiday chocolate in the house—beyond the expected kind, you know. I know she enjoys it.” — Cedric the entertainer

“I chose this for my sister who lives with my mother who is a smoker. She goes outside to smoke – but you know… I saw that my sister can control this device from her phone so she can set hours, so they keep the home fresh at bay. I thought that was something she would really enjoy.” -Anthony Anderson

“My son is the king of relaxing. He’s in college, but once he’s in the house, he wants to be comfortable. It felt like my son’s gear.” — Cedric the entertainer

“This is for my niece. She’s a teenager and likes nice things—and she’s always talking about how cold she is. The next time she’s cold, I’m going to tell her, ‘Well, we’re not turning on the heat , take the faux fur and wrap it around your shoulders and look beautiful’” -Anthony Anderson
