Is what Barbara Walters used to do. I 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: didn't appreciate her until having my own show.

And so it's a lot 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: of stuff that I'm doing. It's meetings NonStop, and I 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm not used to that of being that part of 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: because you get the glory and you also get it 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: if it if it don't go. So it's like going 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: to get rising up to that occasion. But it's good. Well, 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: first of all, how are you because he's so rude, 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm a little for Clint right 25 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: now because I'm so I try to get it together 26 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: because I ran into Angela uh And and Tiffany Cross. 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: It is Angela's name. I'm so like embarrassed. I can't 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: even like im. So I'm trying to get my groove bag. Man, 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: this is a woman like I am such a fan 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: of Angela Ry. I love Tiffany Cross. They tell it 31 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: like it is like I'm like super fan. And as 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: soon as they walked past me, I walked out the 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: door and I said to Angela Ry, Hey, oh my gosh, 34 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: what April did you think she was? I just in 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: my hand. I was just thinking about April Ry and 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: I got facial blindness anyway, I'm horrible with names. I 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: have facial blindness, which is called prosopagnosia. So like when 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: I look at your face, envy, it's just the face. 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: It's the nose, its lips, there's no distinguishing. I did 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: not just get an I'm not sure. Well, that's how 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: I remember Envy's We were always doing that exactly what. 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: I have polyps in my nose that remove the polyps 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: so I could breathe better and stop snort. That's too 44 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: that's too much to try to remember to remember, just 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: to remember the polyps in his nose. He had to 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: get the polyps remember, So if they can't even take 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: too long, you're gonna be gone by the time I 48 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: say it works. Envy with the nose jobs, See how 49 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: quick that is? Exactly? Yeah? Se you doing that because 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: he loves you so much. I doubt that. Did you 51 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: feel like Wendy's shoes were too big to feel? Well? 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I think so, I think her. I think she we 53 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: didn't even wear the same size shoes. So I don't 54 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: say yes. I think I'm asking a practical way. Yeah, yes, 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: Jesus you were you were you afraid of that in anyway? 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Afraid of that? Damn I'm talking about I'm not talking 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: about because I think you start getting afraid when you 58 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: start comparing yourself to other people and you can't. That's 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: where you get into trouble. You can't compare yourself to 60 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: other people. Otherwise I would have been terrified when Star 61 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: when I had to take over Star Jones's place on 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: the View. And the one thing that I loved is 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: Star Jones called me. I was working on thirty Rock 64 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: at the time. Uh, and she called me to congratulate me, 65 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: and she says, don't try to fill my shoes, because 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: you will never fill my shoes. And she said, you 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: have to go on with your own experience, your own eyes, 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: and make these your memories. And she said, so I'm 69 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: not gonna tell you about who to watch out for. 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: You have to go in and get the lay of 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: the land. And I appreciated that. So me doing what 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: I do. I am a stand up comic, I have 73 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: a I know what God called me to do. I 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: have a faith. I'm really about a lot of positivity. 75 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: So I knew that's what I do. If I if 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: I based my career off trying to compare myself to 77 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: other people, I still be struggling. You speak to Wendy. 78 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to talk to Wendy When No, 79 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to talk to you. I 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk to you, Charlotte May. 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to talk to my Aunteacha Couitsia, 82 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: I know. So there were certain people that I got 83 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to. It was Oprah Winfrey. Whoopie 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: was in Italy, so I didn't get to talk to 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: to Whoopie should call me back. It was Robin Roberts, 86 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: um Ellen. I didn't get a chance nobody. You know, 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: people don't be having celebrity phone number so they won't 88 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: give it to you. So I didn't get to talk 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: to Ellen. So it's very few people that I got 90 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: to talk to. I loved the way you handled it, though, 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, I think a statement came out 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: with Wendy said she wasn't happy with she wouldn't be 93 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: watching something, And I loved the way you handled it, 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I again, I'm not doing it 95 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: for anybody. I know what my assignment is. So if 96 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: somebody and everybody has free choice, it's like, if you want, 97 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: if you want to watch me, watch and see what 98 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: I can bring. If you don't, the beauty of it 99 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: is there's Tamering Hall, there's Jennifer Hudson. If you want 100 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: a sister, there are there are more than one. There 101 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: is more than one black woman. Did you always wanted 102 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: to talk show. Was that something that this is what 103 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: I want? Yeah, I would, Yeah, it was just I 104 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: didn't realize it was a talk show that I wanted 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: when I was a little girl and was putting like 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: a paper towel in front of every in front of 107 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: my dolls. I just like to talk and I love 108 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: knowing about people. But um, it started as I got 109 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: as I was doing stand up, I was like, I'd 110 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: like it. I'd like a talk show because I was 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: looking at stand up comics who did talk shows, and 112 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: stand ups are really great at doing talk shows. They're 113 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: great at being guests on a talk show. And so 114 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: I realized that's what I wanted. And my first pilot 115 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: was in two thousand and four and it went nowhere. 116 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: I did it on the Regis and Kelly said, and 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: it just went nowhere because I didn't know who I was. 118 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: I just wanted to make people laugh. So if you 119 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: told me to do anything, I would do it. But 120 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: that was before the View. That was way before the view. 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I did the view. I didn't start to View two 122 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, and I was devastated because I'd 123 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: done it on Regents and Kelly and I knew I 124 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: was funny, and I remember the executives walked in and 125 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: it was like, give us all you give on stage, 126 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: that that thing you do, And I was like, what 127 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: do I My voice was I was like, what do 128 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: I do? Because I'll do it? And they were like, 129 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: you know that thing? And I was like I don't know, 130 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: and I was like Lord Jesus, and I was praying. 131 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: But I wasn't ready. I hadn't matured into the dream, 132 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: and so had he given it to me, it would 133 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: have fizzled so fast because I didn't know how it was. 134 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: I'd have sat in front of people going out, what 135 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: am I supposed to say? Now, when I sit in 136 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: front of an audience, I know exactly who I am. 137 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm delivering. I know exactly what 138 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: my mission is. I know exactly when some people go, 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: can I come on your show? No, that's not what 140 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: I do. You would be a celebrity caman. He was like, 141 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: I want to talk about something that happened in my life. 142 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: This very serious. You probably would be better with Tamren 143 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Wow sitting there because she's a journalist, So absolutely do 144 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: you would be better served over here because you know 145 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: Like the thing I love about tamarn is because she's 146 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: a journalist. She's going to dig places that I'm not 147 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna ask you when you do, you 148 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: not to play space because I know my audience is coming. 149 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: They want to feel good, they want laughter. So I'm 150 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: not gonna go into those places. So and I and 151 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: I'm at that place, so I can go No, that 152 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work for me. Have you taken a step back 153 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: and like took a deep breath and just reflected on 154 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: your journey like all of that, Like you know, you 155 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: talk about two dollars four to show, didn't going away with?

It don't serve you. It is a waste 387 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: of energy. But I didn't know that then, But I learned. 388 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: I learned from a woman going, this ain't the day 389 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: an apology show. Go out there, stand by what you said, 390 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep it moving because basically, once the 391 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: next news cycle comes, they're gonna forget what you said. No, 392 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: that's what I want to ask you about that, because 393 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: that's a good point, right. Thank you for coming to 394 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: But after you gave you don't get you to show 395 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: I may actually you apologize. You was like, no, you're not. 396 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: Then you said you were sorry. So the evolution I 397 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: could see it happened. And even then so with that, right, 398 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: like we've seen Barbara Walters do apology shows and like 399 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: everybody sees all this old content of Barbara and they're 400 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: using the N word and asking people about that sexuality. 401 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: So if somebody came to you right now, I was like, 402 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: Barbara Walters is racist. You know these kids are they 403 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: they see what would you say to them? I would say, 404 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: you'd have to you you only saw a clip, because 405 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: everything everybody operates in little three second clips. I would 406 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: say you have to work with this woman because because 407 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: the reason why you may be on the air is 408 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: because of Barbara Walters. And so the same woman is 409 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: the same woman who put two black women on the 410 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: air when no, you had never seen that before. There 411 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: had never been two black women on a talk show 412 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: and Barbara Walters ABC did not want me and she 413 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: fought for me to be on there. So if you 414 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: saying a racist wants another two black women on her 415 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: show and she's a racist, that that don't that don't 416 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: even go together. Because she felt like I had something 417 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: to say. And when people would talk about she, she 418 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: defended me on how return Now you know, so a 419 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: woman who's doing that, And she would always say to me, 420 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: I believe in you. You can do it. Just freaking 421 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: read a book and defend what. You can't rely on 422 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: your pastor what your pastor says all the time. Read 423 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 1: a book. Now. I love talking politics, but I had 424 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: to go through I didn't know about politics, and I 425 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: didn't know what you know different things, but I do now. 426 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: So falling is not bad. It's a way you look 427 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: at it. You get back up, you keep showing up, 428 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get better. And then there's other blessing. 429 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: Now you mentioned stephen A. Smith. He was on your show. 430 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: Oh he stepped in. Oh my gosh. I was trying 431 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: to let him know. On the couch he was a 432 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: conversation about super Bowl. Oh my god, and then he 433 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: went jumped out the window and just said out of 434 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: nowhere for no reason. Rihanna is no, oh my god, 435 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: why you know? But the thing about it is like 436 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: I feel like stephen A. A lot of people I 437 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: had discern that's what he does, that's what he gets 438 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: paid for. But there's a way that men be talking. 439 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, y'all talk, you can get rudo. But when 440 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: you go in front of an audience full of black women, 441 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: it's a day in time. Were tired of being compared 442 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: to the next black woman. Well, black women are feeling like, 443 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: don't nobody protect us like you. It's a lot of 444 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: triggers and you and I feel like somebody on his 445 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: team should have been briefing him, going, this is a 446 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: female talk show, stephen A.

And I learned 487 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: that from the view John had to call it. It 488 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: was one time I was defending Sarah Palin with everything 489 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: I had. I was because she had a special needs child. 490 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: So I was like, this is a woman with a 491 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: special need said and John was like, black people hate you. 492 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: Stop it. It's certain things. There's your inside voice, there's Joe. 493 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: So I will never be that person who says everything 494 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: that's on my mind. But why can't we have nuance? 495 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: I understand what John saying, but you should be able 496 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I can relate because she has a 497 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: special need child. But also I don't, I mean I 498 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: like her politics? Why because I wasn't articulate like that 499 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: at that time I am now yeah, like because we 500 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: had a whole discussion backstage because I do feel like 501 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: I don't like that so many people jumped on Stephen 502 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: because it was an opinion. He loves both women. He 503 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: really does love both women. He just he just felt, 504 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta come up to where Beyonce is 505 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: re renos that she got that competition within herself. Um, 506 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: he just didn't read the room. And I felt. I 507 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: came in and I said, I want to say, this 508 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: was unfair to Stephen a smith. He should have been 509 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: ba And John said, you have to you have to 510 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: do are you falling on the sword with Stephen? Because 511 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: this is what you're gonna get the backlash. There's a 512 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: way you can articulate this, Sherry, because we gotta remember 513 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: the theme of the show is you're being funny, you're light, 514 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: So you can't come on, you know, wagging your finger people. 515 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Because what I don't like is that nobody is allowed 516 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: to have an opinion and say anything without people going 517 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: to take him off the air and canceling. So we 518 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: worked it through. It took us about twenty five minutes. 519 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: We worked it through. Of Okay, why I put a 520 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: joke in here, I could do it, okay, so to 521 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: be having the navy, you know, I could say this 522 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: and I so that it's palatable for everybody. And I 523 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: still said the same thing, and I still put in 524 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: my message up. I don't like us being at a 525 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: place where we can't say our opinion. So that's what 526 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: I know how to do that now, really apologize in 527 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: the parking lot, right, because he apologized in the car 528 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: because I think it was just shell shot too. And 529 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: you know, because you know you don't and also you 530 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: just don't realize how big this. The people in today 531 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: we get triggered and that affects you. But and that's 532 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: why I said, please go buy his book because he 533 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: does say some really great things in his book about 534 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, about his relationship with his father, his mother, 535 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: how instrument and I still have women going I don't 536 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: give it because the sisters didn't teach him nothing, and 537 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 1: as mama didn't. I mean, I have friends who are 538 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: really angry. And he didn't say what right if you say, 539 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: if y'all have a discussion about live performers, and you 540 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: say Rihanna not a better live performer than Beyonce, but 541 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: all you said, was Rihanna ain't no Beyonce, What does 542 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: that even mean? I think it's just him saying, you know, 543 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, y'all, you know your uncle left it and Thanksgiving, 544 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: no matter what you say, your uncle like, yeah, but 545 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: you know he ain't gonna the way he run. And 546 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: I think and also I think that Stephen Asmith didn't 547 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: realize we black women, we are just feeling like we're 548 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: not protected. You know, it's not like you have to 549 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: with with on first take, you are brutally taking down 550 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: thirty NFL teams. You got a lot of comparison, well 551 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: black women at this at this level performing at the 552 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's three of them. One got in trouble, 553 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: a nipple got shown, she got thrown under the bus, 554 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: and her career was gone for a minute. Janet Jackson, 555 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: you got Beyonce, you got Rihanna. You just have it 556 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: like it's not a lot. There's not a lot of us, 557 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: so to be trying to it does look like you're 558 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: pitting us against And that's why I think you have 559 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: to have women on your team sometimes to go let 560 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: me come in here and tell you something. So I 561 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: don't think that went through Black women and with them 562 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: was black women when they and they turned quick, Oh 563 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: my gosh. And then you also you got to be half. 564 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: It's a bunch of fourteen year olds coming after you. 565 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: And you don't realize the power of fourteen year olds 566 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: putting me teams all. You can't even get to the 567 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: good comments because they're fourteen year olds. Ain't got nothing 568 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: to do. I don't argue what to be high. I 569 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: don't even say these Nikki re red Beyonce. The worst 570 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: they said to me when I did when I was 571 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: filling in, and I think I said one thing. It 572 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: wasn't even nothing bad, and somebody put on a post 573 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: they said, don't even go there because we'll take you down. 574 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: It was like the mafia heads to me. I showed John, 575 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: I was saying, they they comment, and I was like, 576 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this dig on these barbs. I want 577 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: to salute John John because I was told that you 578 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: you you told that bout murky. I'm not doing this 579 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: show of John, And I thought that was so just 580 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: doping on the absolutely yeah for so long. Um, John 581 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: is like the wonder kind of creativity. So a lot 582 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: of the stuff that we do is John's idea We've 583 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: been on this journey twenty or more years, and he 584 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: is smart and a lot of people he knows. He 585 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: has a lot of connections in the business, and not 586 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: connections where you do. For me, I do few relationships, 587 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: is what I should say, A lot of He got 588 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: that Janet Jackson thing happening. That was John Murray who 589 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: did this. So I couldn't give credit to the show 590 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: because it was John. He you know people that come 591 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: on our show, John makes a phone call. We can't 592 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: get clearance. John makes a phone call. So he has relationships. 593 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: He knows talk shows like the back of his hand. 594 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: He helped me on the view articulate what I was 595 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: gonna say. I knew what I wanted to say, but 596 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: he was like, you can't. You don't have enough time 597 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: to say that. Whoopie's gonna say this to you. Joey's 598 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna interrupt. You got to say it succinctly and quickly. 599 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: And John helped me with that, And so I knew 600 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: that this dream was not only my dream, it was 601 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: John Murray's dream too, because he's the only black man 602 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: with the executive producer title and the power. And I said, 603 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: I didn't just want him to be executive producer. He 604 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: had to have the power. That's what I had to 605 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: fight for. So he and he's great and the producers 606 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: love him, and you know, so I trust him because 607 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: I can't fight all of the battles and I can't 608 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: be up on the other side in the office and 609 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, I gotta it's just sitting on that couch. 610 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: It's a mental thing I gotta do. So having him 611 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: with me and being able to look at him and 612 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: he says things, I don't know what I would I wouldn't. 613 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done the show without him. Now, I 614 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't would have walked away. That says a lot about you, though, 615 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because this is your dream 616 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: to do this show. And I'm sure that you know, 617 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: let's get more more experienced DP and you're like, no, no, 618 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: this is who I wants. Yeah, he knows he's got 619 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: the We got the same vision. When we stand behind 620 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: that door, he grabs my hand. We pray for the 621 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: audience who is watching on TV. We pray for the 622 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: audience who is sitting there that they're gonna that they 623 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: see that side of God, the laughter, the love that 624 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: they feel better than when they came because we're going 625 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: through so much. I don't do politics for a reason. 626 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: I don't do heavy stuff because I feel like you 627 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: can get that from You can get it from when 628 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: Tiffany Cross comes right back on the air.

You're gonna be able 631 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: to get it from Rachel Manou or Fox if you 632 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: watch it. But for me, I want you to have 633 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: a respite from all. I want you to be able 634 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: to laugh.

He's the one that says, 639 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: don't bother Sherry with this because it messes up with 640 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: her mind and it's hard to produce her. So he 641 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: knows me so well. Now, you talked about how difficult 642 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: it was dating before the last time you were a pair. 643 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: Hasn't gotten any easier as your DMS flooded. How is 644 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: dating that? Yeah, they're still fluttered with people who ain't 645 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: got that side tooth and they're missing the finger and 646 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: they still in their mama's basement. I still get those 647 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: um but you know what it is.

So 826 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: I owe that, like emotionally for you devastating, and it's 827 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: still devastating right now because David A. Arnold, and if 828 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: you don't know him, god freaking look him up, was 829 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: just on the cusp. I know David from the beginning 830 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: when he was came to LA and to see somebody 831 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: on the cusp of this, of everything that he ever 832 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: dreamed of happening. I was his first major talk show. 833 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: He had his outfit hanging on the closet. We had 834 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: talked all the time, and so you know, he was 835 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: just I saw David fail and bombed so many times 836 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: and re and course, correct and redo, and he got 837 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: on this family literally and he credits me for this. 838 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: We were on the plane with Janet Jackson going to 839 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: Essence and her baby was screaming like crazy and he 840 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: was getting so irritated because she was going up and 841 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: down the aisle, no nanny trying to quiet him up, 842 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: and she we were talking and he was so mad 843 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: that I didn't introduce him to Jenna, because David Arnold 844 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: had an ego like nobody's business. And he made a 845 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: video and it was so funny, and I said, David, 846 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: get back to making those videos about you, about your family, 847 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: and he would go God damn. And I said, keep 848 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: doing that, and I was reposting in it, and his 849 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: numbers were going up. Then more people started reposting, and 850 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: that's how people knew him. And so it just because 851 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: he said I don't want to write. He was an 852 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: amazing writer. I want to be an actor and it 853 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: was happening for him. So to have lost him so early, 854 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: that's the only time a question. God. It was like, 855 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand. He loved his family so much. Somebody 856 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: came to David another big comic, Uh, Corey's good It 857 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: was Corey Holco. It was Corey Corey Hoko wanted to 858 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: fight David Arnold at the laugh Factory and David goes, 859 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: I'm not fighting you. I have a mortgage to pay. 860 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't fight anymore, you know, And it was funny 861 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: seeing me. He was like, I'm not from the hood, 862 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: and it was like, that was David. And I wish 863 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: that the world really would have been able. He was 864 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: working with Kevin Hart and Lena Wait, he had he 865 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 1: had three series that were about to go into production, 866 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: plus his own, and so I just feel bad that 867 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 1: the world didn't get to see what David Arnold would 868 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: have been bringing the virus is remorse like guilt because 869 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: your your dream is happening. Yeah, your guy was on 870 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: the cusp, but you know you transition. Um, it wasn't 871 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: that survivor's remorse because I know my path was different 872 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: from David's. I just wish that more like David would 873 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: have gotten what I got. You know, David would have 874 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 1: gotten a success that I was able to get. I don't. 875 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't get into the survivor's remorse, And why why 876 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: me and not them? We all have our own path. 877 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: And if you stopped looking at well, why me? And 878 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: how come they got it and not on I'm just 879 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: as good, then you're not paying attention to the path 880 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: that God got you on, because we all got a 881 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: purpose and we all gotta you know. So why do 882 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: I have a talk show versus the person who is 883 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: much better than me and they don't have a talk show? 884 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, But that's a lot of energy I'm 885 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: wasting on that. Why do I not? You know, how 886 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: come I don't have my father got dementia? How come 887 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: your father don't have dementia? I don't know. It's just 888 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: what I have to deal with. So it's just it's 889 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: like where you're gonna spend your energy, especially as we 890 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: get older, Like I just don't have a lot of 891 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: time for where's my energy going and if it's if 892 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: it's not serving man, if it's not positive, and if 893 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: it's not pushing me forward, then I don't have time 894 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: to engage. Is that the answer you received when you 895 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: when you question God about that situation? It was silence. 896 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 1: But like moving to New York, I got a clear answer. 897 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: I did not want to come to New York to 898 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: do the show once staying there, like all my friends 899 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: are in there, like my pack that I hang with. 900 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: And you know, you always got that person who talks 901 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: to guy who got the answer, and she said, God 902 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: said to me that New York is not for you, 903 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: It is for your son. He has asked Burghers that 904 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: it's for Jeffrey to find his independence. That is where 905 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: so I said, okay, he, oh my gosh, he takes 906 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: it uber by himself. He has his own key. He 907 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: then lost five of them.
