How Karlous Miller Achieved a Net Worth of $4 Million
Karlous Miller is an American comedian, actor, and rapper. He is best known for his stint on MTV’s Wild N Out with Nick Cannon. Karlous has always been the class clown. According to CA Knowledge, his classmates would ask him to crack jokes when there was no teacher in class. As a result, he never had stage fright as a kid since he would always perform in front of people.
Since then, he decided to pursue comedy professionally. His comedy career is largely the reason for his wealth. With his new-found fame in comedy, he has appeared in movies and television shows. The movies and television shows have also made him more affluent. With his wealth, he has been able to purchase properties that we will mention. Without further ado, here is how Karlous Miller achieved a net worth of $4 million.
Yo Mamma (2007)
Yo Mamma was a show where contestants would insult each other’s mother. The contestants would do that by engaging in a rap battle against each other. Karlous appeared in one episode of this show as a contestant. When the show premiered, it had a decent reception. However, as it ran, there were certain factors that caused it to have only three seasons. First, the show had a controversial premise. According to The Things, parents resented that children were being taught to insult and bully each other. Also, the show cashed in on a fad, and fads tend to wear out their welcome. As a result, people grew tired of the “Yo Mamma” jokes.
The Mo’Nique Show (2010)
The show was hosted by comedienne and actress, Mo’Nique. In the show, he would crack some jokes in a separate segment during the show. He once joked about women who are fake in their behavior and hair. Cracking jokes about a certain gender is a tricky thing to do. If the jokes fall flat, you may be accused of being sexist. Thankfully, the host and the audience found his joke inoffensive. Besides having comedy sessions, the show would also feature celebrity guests and musical performances.
Wild N Out (2013-2020)
Wild N Out is a sketch comedy and improvisation game show hosted by Nick Cannon. In this show, Nick has a team that competes against a team led by a celebrity guest. The team comprises contestants who battle against each other in improvisational games. Karlous appears in the series as a contestant. After the games, the contestants proceed to battle against each other in the bonus round called the “wildstyle.” Nick has a comedy championship belt that is up for grabs. If Nick’s team wins, he retains the belt. On the other hand, if his team loses, the other team wins his belt.
Last Comic Standing (2014)
Last Comic Standing is a talent show competition that seeks to award the best comedian from a group of hopefuls. Karlous appeared in the show as a contestant. He was going up against other comics like Rod Man, Joe Machi, and Monroe Martin, just to name a few. He lost during the challenge rounds. At that time, he was close to the quarter-finals.

Conclusion
Class clowns entertain their fellow students or even teachers. However, few of them think of venturing into comedy as a career. The education sector will emphasize more on academics than a student’s talent. Fortunately, Karlous rose from a class clown to a comedian, thanks to his classmates encouraging him. His journey into comedy has not always been easy. He has appeared in shows that flopped and has lost some competitions. Nonetheless, none of these things killed his spirit as he has continued to earn a lot from his hard work.
