Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer's Favorite Things
1
AC Barbeque Signature Gift Set“I am going to send this to my little cousin in Missouri. His dad was the true barbecue chef, and now he’s taking over. If he’s got the whole AC package, he would be the big fish in town. And I’m sure his father would be calling me immediately, going, ‘Where’s mine?!’ And I’d have to tell him, ‘You don’t cook anymore—your son is the new chef!’” —Cedric the Entertainer
“My uncle and my dad were the BBQ pitmasters in our family—they’re no longer with us, but I’d love to have been able to give the set to them.” —Anthony Anderson

Peepers Spotlight Readers“My sister is a college professor, and she loves fun glasses. She’s one of those people who dress with colors. These frames have a lot of personality to them, and I thought, Man, my sister would love these. She could use a couple of different styles.” —Cedric the Entertainer

Dungeon Forward The Yard Hats“I didn’t have a chance to go to an HBCU. But we’ve been growing AC Barbeque within the HBCU community, and I thought choosing one of their hats would be a great way to support them. I love hats. Of course, I have a million of them.” —Cedric the Entertainer

Oprah’s “The Life You Want” Becoming Unstuck Journal“This would be a great party-starter. It’s good to see where people’s minds are and what they are thinking. I will give this to my mother, who has an eclectic group that includes her best friend, Drunk Bobby. I’d love to have 100 questions to ask her just to see what she would say.” —Anthony Anderson

Pixie Mood Travel Neck Pillow“My tour assistant often travels with us, and because he’s low on the totem pole he doesn’t usually go in first class. I know he’s working hard, and I wanted to make him a little more comfortable, getting some sleep back there in that middle seat. I thought he’d like the fact that it can fold up, so he’s not stuck with a big thing.” —Cedric the Entertainer

AromaTech Ambience Scent Diffuser and Fragrance Set“I picked this for my sister, who lives with my mom, who is a smoker. She goes outside to smoke—but, you know... I saw that my sister can control this device from her phone, so she can set the timers so to keep the home fresh remotely. I thought that was something that she would really enjoy.” —Anthony Anderson

Pine Cone Hill Fab Faux Fur Throw“This is for my niece. She’s a teenager and likes nice things—and she’s always talking about how chilly she is. The next time she’s cold, I’m going to tell her, ‘Well, we’re not about to turn on the heat, go get that faux fur and wrap it around your shoulders and look pretty’” —Anthony Anderson
