Katt Williams's Best Take Was About to Get SCRAPPED — Chris Tucker Wouldn't Allow It

In early 2003, on a rented soundstage in Van Nuys, California, a script supervisor named Priya Anand flagged a four-second continuity error in what might have been the best take of the entire shoot. Chris Tucker was there as an executive producer, giving newer names on the call sheet a chance under his name on the poster. One of them was a young Katt Williams, four pages into a diner scene that had just gone somewhere the script never planned. When the director moved to scrap the take over the flaw, Chris Tucker stepped in front of the decision himself. This is the story of the take almost nobody outside that soundstage ever knew about — and the reason one comic decided it was worth protecting, no matter what it cost the schedule.
