Speaker 1: said enough about me? Well, first of all, let's get

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: started about why stand up? While are your stand up comedian? Um?

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: I know I thought I was funny. I never wanted

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: to be a stand up comedian. Uh people just in

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. And then my life was like, you know,

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: you really just push you should really think about being

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: a comedian. A trip for the welfare offs and it

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: was like, you, you know, we had to pick careers.

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: I never forget Bill Clinton was a president and that

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: was the first person I voted for. He started a

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: welfare of work program. So I was trying to get

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: a career. No longer watching Young with Arrests, which pisces

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: me out because I was like, I don't even gonna

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: make me get a hound on the Young and Arrests. Well,

70
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: make a long story show a case work. Was like,

71
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: you should really, you know, looking to stand up. You're

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: so funny. And I'm like, I know, I want be

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: a nurse. He like, no, you should be. You should

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: look in the stand up. And then I realized I'm

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a convicted felion and nobody was gonna ever give me

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: a job as a nurse. I just it just started.

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I went to open mic. Uh huh, well you know

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm being a former comedian. I guess I can always

79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 1: say I'm a comedian. Okay, I've done enough in my life.

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: From Steph Comedy Jam to BT comic view that open mic,

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: just walking on that stage the very first time because

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: you because like you, people told me I was funny,

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: And then I had to be convinced by my sister

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: and Hunt and my nephew. I would do comedy routines

85
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: in front of them on their in their living room,

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: and they said, that's funny, that's funny. Should do that.

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: You do that? How did you put together your first

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: five minutes to go on stage? Miss Pat? I went

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: to this place that was near my house called the pub,

90
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: and it was just a bunch of open Michaels and

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't even know you're supposed to put

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: together anything. My literally, my first joke was about my

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: brother being a fat cat burgler. So I just went

94
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: and I just went and told a story that I

95
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: was familiar with. And I went there and they laughed,

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: and I was like. I went home and I told

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: my husband said, guess I'm a comedian. He's gonna work tomorrow. Now.

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: When when what year was that? When year was there

99
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: when you walked on stage? I think it was early

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: two thousand, two thousand one something like that. Well, we

101
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: know we all have dreams. I know when I started

102
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: doing stand up, Eddie Murphy was the talk of the land.

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor with the King of Comedy, and then as

104
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: you see the evolved, you know, when I managed Steve

105
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: Harvey and two thousand the original Kings of Comedy came

106
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: out and Bernie Mack hit the streets and the Hittor

107
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Street said came became a Super Bowl commercial star, and

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey became a radio star, and it was a

109
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: television star at the time on w B. What influences

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: did you have this pat the story, Like you said,

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: you know, you still a naturally talented person. Did anybody

112
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: influence you as a comedian or an actress or a singer. No,

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about coming Honestly, Um, I thought

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor was just, you know, actor, So I didn't.

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: I didn't really dig into comedy. And when I started

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: to open mic and people will say, you got these

117
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: crazy stories, and you you remind me of Richard Pryor,

118
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, he's an actor, and he was

119
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: like he was a comedian. So I just started to

120
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: do my research and I was like, I am a storyteller.

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: So I got heavily into watching Bill Cosby because he's

122
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: a great season's great storyteller. And I got into Richard Pryor,

123
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: and I realized that my stories were more like rich Richard,

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, in your face, honestly, honest, and I like

125
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: to put them together the way Bill Cosby because they

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: were so great at storyteller. So those two is kind

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: of my biggest influence. You know, when I really dug

128
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: into I wanted to be a comedian. Well, you know,

129
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: it's interesting you say that, because, uh, you know, when

130
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I see your stand up, it just it is the storytelling,

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: but it's the rawness of red Fox. Did I see it?

132
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: And in you? And I see it because of the

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: fact that you're just talking, you know what I'm saying,

134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: And and I think that you know, he didn't hear

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: me out on this, because it's a compliment about you

136
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: and your talents. And it's that there's a filter and

137
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you have with Okay, you don't have it.

138
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: She don't have a filter, this woman, I'm talking to

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: you right here. If it's if it's if it's in

140
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: front of her head, it's gonna come out of her mouth. Okay.

141
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: And that's a beauty because that's why she's on this show.

142
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: That's why she's a show and b that's why she's

143
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: successful stand up comedian. That's why she goes on her

144
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: name appears on the billboard, and add her shows sell out.

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be honest about that. So now Red Fox,

146
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: which was my era growing up, because he was an influence,

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: but he was just you know what, Like I said,

148
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I was influenced by you know, I knew about Bill Cobley.

149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: I was like over just in awe of Richard Pryor.

150
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: But you when I see Red Fox, I see this

151
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: uncanny ability to stay streaked and then but relatable because

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: it's about your personal life. Am I am I hitting

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it right for you, miss pat because you didn't mention

154
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Red Fox. Oh no, I think I didn't mention Red

155
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Fox because I didn't fall a lot of this comedy.

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, I just know Red Fox really from San

00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: from this son, but I know how funny he was.

158
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: But I was able to find a lot more Richard

159
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Prior material when I first started, and that was made me.

160
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: I really wanted to tell stories I've heard, I've heard Richard,

198
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,840

199
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: you didn't really have any history or anyone want to

200
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: be a stand up comedian on access for that matter.

201
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: You know you're as a person who unfortunately was a felon,

202
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: has spent you had had jail time like no different

203
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: than comedian Tim Allen who hosted Home Improvement. He had jailed.

204
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: He spent significant jail time and it also came over

205
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: and became a hit sitcom star. And the fact that

206
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: you say Sanford in sig And I was telling my

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: staff today when I came into myself, So I saw

208
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: four episodes of this show, and I said, it's very

209
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: groundbreaking to me. I said, I haven't seen a show,

210
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: especially a black show. There was this authentic sense Sanford

211
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: in sign and Sanford the song. Reason I said that's

212
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: after the Sun at the time would actually say the

213
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: N word on network television, and and and and because

214
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: that was that was rare. We're gonna keep it real

215
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: if you if you use it in the camera, you're

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: gonna use it no camera. And who asked you why?

217
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Now we will be t plus. So you know there's

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: some cousin going on. Y'all y'all get y'all get as

219
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,680

Speaker 1: kind of like this enfranchised to that whole episode is

234
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,040

235
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: community standpoint, coming out of your mouth, being able to

236
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: say that and get away with it and then have

237
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: morality tied to it. And I'm just being me, what's

238
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: the problem. And I walked through and said, did she

239
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: say that? But I'm just saying all these things to

240
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: everybody who's watching and listen to this interview. We're talking

241
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: to the next next. The reason I say that I

00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: can't say who she is, but I just know right

243
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: now I'm talking to a young lady right now that

244
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm interview on money making. Conversation is not only brilliant,

245
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: but she's career defining in her path, and she's authentic

246
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: and she's original. That's who you are, Miss Prayer. I'm

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: not closing out. This interview might sound like an interview

248
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: close out. I'll just tell you. I'm just I just

249
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,720

251
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: You special young lady. We talk about Tammy what It

252
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: was funny because this show was created with me at

253
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old kid who had I was

254
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: in college at the time, never wrote anything but a

255
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: play that was at the Public in New York, and

256
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: that was my third writer. And Lee Dan He was like,

257
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the street and find your writer

258
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: because I really think it's something here. So I said, okay,

259
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: Lee whatever. He found this kid on my birthday, flew

260
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: me out from wherever I was performing there and make

261
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: a long story short. I meet him and we get

262
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: to talking and you know, we create the pilot of

263
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: ourselves when they say we couldn't do it. And then

264
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: he get a job and he tells me because we

265
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: were really close. He's twenty three years old, and we

266
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: call him the Dreamer there. He was like, I know

267
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: who you're gonna be your husband, and I know who's

268
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna be your sister. And so he pulled Tammy Roman

269
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: up in the bonnet chronic chronic that she does on Instagram,

270
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, they're like crazy, She's not

271
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna be my sister. He was like, I'm telling y'all

272
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: are so good. Y'all like Lucy Ethan and got and

273
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I was like no and so and then and later

274
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: on I found out she was a reality star and

275
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: I was like, Blue, I don't want to reality star

276
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: on the show. I want real actors because this is

277
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: my first acting gig. He's like, no, Pat, just listen.

278
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: So we we we auditioned, we audition and I found

279
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: a girl that I thought I really like. So we

280
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: she had number one by her name and walked Tammy

281
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Roman with the nail's pain that just just looked like

282
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: his character from top to talk and I didn't like her.

283
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: I did not like her. But baby, when she walked

284
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: out of that room and I looked at everybody's like

285
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: that go Denice. She came and she stold it. She

286
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: stole the job. I mean literally, she wouldn't hand her

287
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: anything because you know, because she had a name. Who

288
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to get people an Instagram. We was trying

289
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: to get real actors. And when I tell you we're

290
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: actors and real actress, when I tell you, this girl

291
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: came into that room and stole that job, stole that job,

292
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: and the chemistry that we have on set is like unreal.

293
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's like like you can the way the

294
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: way this the way this show was cast, you were like,

295
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: I almost believe this is a real family, from the

296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: husband to all the kids. You know, we we we

297
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't leave no stone unturned. And but she did a

298
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: wonderful job. And I'm so happy that people can see

299
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: another light of Tammy because there's like she's an actress.

300
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, this girl can act behind and fun me,

301
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna telling you something because I know Tammy all

302
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: the way back to Steve Harvey sitcom on w B

303
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: that's when I first knew she could act. You know,

304
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: she did. She did a couple of cameos on His

305
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Serious way back then. Then she went into this reality

306
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: star role. And so when I started reading the credits,

307
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: I go, Tammy wrong, and don't the stand up. They're

308
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: doing a comedy and the first scene that she comes

309
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: in and she just lays it out there go her timing,

310
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: and uh, it was, you know, acquire me. I'm just

311
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what that means. They tried to acquire me,

312
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, and h y'all look at the show, y'all.

313
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Just look at the show, y'all find out what that means.

314
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: That that's a that's such a temple of who she is.

315
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: She's as they say. My mom will tell me she's shiftless,

316
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: she's lazy, she has no aspirations. But she got a sister,

317
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: and the sister got patience with her, and the family

318
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: got patience with her. She t she's a know it all.

319
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: But when you when you have a person like that

320
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: who comes in who you you didn't think it was

321
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: the one? Now, pat you didn't think there was on

322
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: your show, you know, ms Pad I want the actress

323
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: and I want people I've seen on TV. And it's

324
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: so funny because when I when I listened to this interview,

325
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: you didn't watch TV, you didn't watch movies, you didn't

326
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: know nothing about the history of stand up comedy. Sometimes

327
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I figure out how you make a decision when somebody

328
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: she can't do the job, and you when you know

329
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: about four or five people on your hand in that's

330
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: all you know. I mean, I'm not I'm a comedian,

331
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: but I don't watch reality show. I'm more I'm an

332
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: age drug dealer. So I like gangster movies, you know,

333
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: like Knockos the Wire. I watched those. You have to

334
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: throw me off the boat, you know, I don't watch

335
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So you're knocking, you're knocking reality.

336
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: So you knock on Netflix. Yeah, you're my girl. You're

337
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: my girl, right the South coming on hand, I like

338
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. On hand mad steel is not

339
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: drug dealing, handmade well, it is a place where they

340
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: cutting off things. I mean, I was like, I like that.

341
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: So when she came alone, I mean, she just she

342
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: just fit the bills. She really did. And I remember

343
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: talking to she said, you know, people like I know

344
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: you what you probably heard about me. I said, I've

345
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: never heard anything about you because I didn't even know

346
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: who you was until we started casting. And I said, look,

347
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I take people for who they are, not for what

348
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: somebody else say. You did. You know what I'm saying, Hey,

349
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't come through to me who you are. I don't.

350
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't dislike you for what somebody else dislike you for.

351
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: I get to know people, and I got to know

352
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: and I mean, she is just a wonderful person to

353
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: work with, you know. And one thing about me, I'm real.

354
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: So I sent my cast down and I said, hey,

355
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: we're not gonna worry about no call. She who's first

356
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: on the call, She who's a star? I said, because

357
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: this is all of our show. It takes all of

358
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: us to get this done it. I said, you know,

359
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: the only difference is it got my name on it.

360
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm no fool. I know it's my show. I said,

361
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: but I can't do it without you guys. So with

362
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: all stars, and I just broke down that Hollywood bearer

363
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: from the day one, the only difference is all pay Chase.

364
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: Here's here's the funny part about that speech she just

365
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: gave you. She said, you know I need all y'all.

366
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, you know, don't worry about that call sheet,

367
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: but my name on the show. So don't get stupid.

368
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Now you get stupid. It that on that one day

369
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: you get stupid and forget that. I'm gonna remind you

370
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: this miss Patty and I Patricia Weaves straight out the

371
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: street from a drug dealer, convicted fella. I will show

372
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: you part of reality that you don't want to see

373
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: about me. And that's what the reality this show is

374
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: bringing all these individual girls. I know, I'm just talking

375
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: about Tammy Roman from a stand up comedian, from a

376
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: from a comedian standpoint, how she stood out. But your

377
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: husband and he's funny, your young son's funny. Let's talk

378
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: about that opening. And like I said, the show opens,

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: you would have heard talking, you know, because I'm not

380
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna give away the show too much. But it then

381
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: it transitions into her house and it is the plane

382
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: right and right right it is. It's really, like I said,

383
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: it's really so slick the way you guys are doing it,

384
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: and it's so entertaining, you know. I was really fascinated

385
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: about And some of my questions were from a production standpoint.

386
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Some of my questions were how much were you involved

387
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: when you with this whole creative co opening and the

388
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: character set up and also the scripts. Do you do

389
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: you get to play with Hey, I don't like that line?

390
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: Could I say that line? Do? They shoot several scenes

391
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: and this is the scene from the script they go

392
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: do your thing scene because a lot of times when

393
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: they have challenged comedians like you, they go, hey, okay,

394
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: this is a script, but do your thing on this

395
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: with miss pat How does that work? Actually, we had writers,

396
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: We had writers, honestly, but that was not one strip

397
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: that we didn't go back and touch. So you know,

398
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: you can have anybody, can you know? Mostly writers with

399
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: this show was there too to build a form because

400
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: it's such my voice, So I have to touch every

401
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: strip and and some of them had to be totally rewritch,

402
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: absolutely totally reach. So the bother down to me and

403
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: the co creator Jordan Cooper wrote every strip. We wrote

404
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: on every strip, so um, only men him was allowed

405
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: to change things. You know. Uh, it was never like

406
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: do your thing because I felt like we wrote these

407
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: trips a funny enough to where everybody she made to

408
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: follow the trip. Now we didn't make up some stuff

409
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: on the floor and as fun as production. And all

410
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: of that stuff you see opening that came from this

411
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: twenty three year old. He's twenty six now, twenty six

412
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: year old kid out did all that plane opened it?

413
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: And the way I do the monologues and the comedy

414
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: of firm, all that stuff came from him. You know,

415
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: we literally wrote each one of those monologue the day

416
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: before I was supposed to shoot all the comedy in

417
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: that up front to tell you what the show was about,

418
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: how to show open. A lot of that stuff was

419
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: wrote at the last minute. Now it wasn't easy either.

420
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,560

Speaker 1: Just people like, Oh my god, I didn't know you

533
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: was there. Oh that this show is really good. It

534
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: took five years for this show to get on TV.

535
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: What the three networks, three writers on a lot of

536
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: t years. Well that that that's the part that I

537
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: like about you, you know, because of the fact that

538
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people see Hollywood, they see this ship

539
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: coming there. If I don't bring that up in my

540
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: intro and we're talking honestly about it, people say, oh,

541
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: she would. It's just sixteen. She thought it was gonna happen.

542
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: So that was a high for her Fox and then

543
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: and then twenty and nirteen Hulu there was another high

544
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: for her when you went to b T plus. What

545
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: was your emotion at that point? Were you like, whatever,

546
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, I I see it when I see it,

547
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: And because it went to some more advanced steps that

548
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: made you feel it was going to happen, Where were

549
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: you at? And then like I said, I'm over here,

550
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, just Googland and just gushing about how brilliant

551
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: you are and how just I'm in love with miss

552
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: pat and the show on BT plus? Where were you

553
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: at each one of those steps in twenty sixteen, twin

554
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: and eteen and then when when I got to holding

555
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: deal and we found a writer, I was happy. I was,

556
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm finally gonna get a show. And

557
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: things didn't work out, so we switched the writer and

558
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: then we went to another writer. Things didn't work out again,

559
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: so I started to lose comfort, and then I said,

560
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: you know what, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

561
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. I had eat dare to say and

562
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: my friend John Ratler wanted the producer that helped found me.

563
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: He was like, it's done. I happen sometime when he's great,

564
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: you just take a longer time. I never get want of.

565
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: The producer named Francis told me that, so I said, okay,

566
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: that's fine, and we ended up getting the writer and

567
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: then we shot. We shoot the pilot and I kept

568
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: telling everybody they're not gonna pick it up. My spirit

569
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: told me Hulu was not gonna pick it up. Hulu

570
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: dropped it and I was like, okay, Lulu, what are

571
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: we're going from here? Day was like I will find

572
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: your home. When BT plus popped up, my first thing was, well,

573
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: what that was? Bt plug? I never have plus and

574
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: it was like T plus picked it up and then

575
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna give your guys ten up. So I was like,

576
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: what is that. They was like, they just started a

577
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: new streaming service and he's at the time it was

578
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: like maybe a year old, and he looking up. They

579
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: only got a million subscribers. You kind of you know,

580
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: it's a kind of shift shift in your Happening's like, wow,

581
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: we went from Hulu to hear. And so I had

582
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: to tell the co creator. I said, let me tell

583
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: you something about life. I've learned. You have to learn

584
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: to miss with people who miss with you. So just

585
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: because you want to be all that with all the

586
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: big fish, maybe this is what we're supposed to be.

587
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: And so I remember when I got to meet them

588
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: and things started to get rolling, and I just told him,

589
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: I said, I think that this show is gonna be

590
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: your handmaids tells like it was to Hulu because he

591
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: may put Hulu that's the only reason why ever subscribed

592
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: to it. I said, I said, if you, if you

593
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: allow us to do what we wanna do and support us,

594
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: we I think we can be your handmaid Still, and

595
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: it lunched and people went crazy. There you go, see,

596
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: I've been waiting on that. So you see that's all.

597
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: So you had to know something. People went crazy, like

598

635
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: from Coals or Coals dot Com, Progressive Forest, metaphors about

636
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: bundling your Homon auto and sports three goals is a

637
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: hat trick, and when you bundle your home and auto

638
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: with Progressive, you get a hat trick of great savings

639
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: and around the clock protection. So you might be thinking, wait,

640
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: that's two things. A hat trick is three. But in

641
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: this metaphor, great savings counts as two goals, and so

642
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: does around the clock protection. So it's like four goals

643
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: and that's more than three. It's facing math for metaphors
