2 Minutes of Fame

2 Minutes of Fame (2020) is an American stand-up comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A rising comic blows up online when a clip of his act — built around a spot-on Eddie Murphy impression — goes viral. Riding the sudden buzz, he packs up and heads to Los Angeles to chase a career on screen.

Jay Pharoah, the impressionist many know from Saturday Night Live, leads the cast, with Keke Palmer and Katt Williams alongside him — so the jokes about the comedy circuit and the showbiz grind land from people who live it. Director Leslie Small, a longtime hand at filming stand-up specials, clearly knows the world from the inside: the auditions, the jealous peers, the price of a couple of viral minutes. Easygoing fare for a night when you just want to laugh without the heavy stuff. Stream 2 Minutes of Fame (2020) online on iFILM.
