Malcolm Paige is a standup comedian and a professional rival of comedian Ellis Joyner, who he assaulted shortly before Joyner's killing.
History[]
Paige's career began when he served as an opening act for famous standup comedian Dave Chappelle. Later, Joyner upstaged Paige at one of his shows. As a result, Paige confronted Joyner at the subway entrance and punched him during an ensuing fight.
When Joyner was strangled to death on the subway later on, Paige was questioned when his assault of Joyner was caught on security footage. Paige was cleared of the killing once his alibi of being picked up by his hired ride checked out. (L&O: "Facade")
