FACT OF THE DAY: Jamie Foxx Started His StandUp Career In Second Grade

Before starring in hit movies such as “Django” and “Ray,” Jamie Foxx first took center stage in his second grade classroom. When Foxx’s class behaved, his teacher would reward them by allowing Jamie to tell his classmates jokes.

It seems as though Foxx’s second grade teacher saw something in the talented youngster and may have been a great source of motivation for the comedian.
