Who's that guy?

Can anyone identify this comedian?

I'm guessing that I saw him ~10 years ago on television (in syndication, not Comedy Central). He was african-american, and young. I thought his last name was "johnson", but I could be making that up.

The routine that I remember was a story about him being a kid, and his mom beating him. We didn't think that part was very funny, but then he said "I deserved it, because I was a hyperactive kid. I was the kind of kid you'd hope would hit his head on the coffee table, then go to sleep for half an hour". He then went on with a story about not wanting to go to church, and his mother dragging him to the car. He broke free, and ran around like a maniac, finally stopping to look at her. He held his hand up to his face, and pointed his index finger at her, then wiggled it around, chanting "you can't make me, you can't make me". We're looking for video, but even the name would help.

We don't think it was anyone famous, like Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock (but we could be wrong).

Please help us (my wife and I) find the laughter again.

Kevin Hart?

He also makes a lot of jokes about being a "little man".

Response by poster: I had looked at some of Kevin Hart's stuff, and I think he might be a little too young. I'll look a little more, though.
