About Tyrone[]
When two very large hulking goons work for a local area loan shark from whom J.J., who was serving as manager for Tyrone, who's a rather shy, timid type who was not funny at all, borrowed $200 from. When J.J.'s act, Tyrone, who, while rehearsing his act with J.J. at the Evans' apartment the day before, couldn't get the punchline of one joke right, as J.J. had to correct him in delivering it.
When the moment of truth occurs at the nightclub the next evening, Tyrone nervously walked off the stage and skipped out of the nightclub where he was to perform and where J.J. had booked him to perform his act, leaving J.J. holding the bag, having to perform the act himself as the goons began to demand the money he owed. After J.J. attempts to perform the act unsuccessfully, Florida, with pleading and prodding, was able to get Stanley Byrd (Theodore Wilson), the club owner, to pay the goons the money J.J. owed.
