"It's more in tune with the spirituality of being Christ-like, being a person of kind spirit, being a person that's looking for the good, the greatness in someone to be able to inspire that greatness. I think that would be a good description of my personality and who I think I am," he said.
During the segment, Cedric's longtime friend Steve Harvey commented on faith, saying: "You know, without God, without faith — if you're trying to live your life without God, you trying to live your life without prayer, you trippin' man. You making this way harder than it's got to be."
