  Speaker 1: a little bit on the show. But then I have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to say this, when you talk about chemistry. One of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the things that was important to me When Cedric first said,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, will you be my wife in this series?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't immediately say yes. The first question I asked
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is do we love each other? That was what was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: important to me, Like do we get to see black
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: love or wife just sassy and a husband is a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: smart all? I just want type thing. I just wanted
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: real love. I just wanted my kids to be able
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to see a black couple on TV that go through
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: what they go through, but you can tell that they
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: love each other. And you guys are very family oriented
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the show as well. Even family members is very supportive. Yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not really popular these days though. You always find like
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a hell lass or something, you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like I'm just saying, like you gotta have like all
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the social issues interesting, you know, like you know, it's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: not is everybody really like that? Like, you know, it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: some cool people that live good lives and they go along,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they get up, they do their jobs, and you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they're fun and you love them. They love their families.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That's all. That's all it is to it to the show.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Do you ever get scared that a joke won't hit
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Oh? Yeah, you know, because
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: make the crowd laugh. That's what the people there for,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: right Well, and when you do the show live though,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the reason why I'm not scared is because my TV
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: husband is also a king of comedy and if something
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't work in a moment, he gonna pull something out
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that's gonna this that'll fix it, right, Yeah, you know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what I mean? The show thirty minutes, Well, it's a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: live episode, I mean. And when you do when when
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you do our season premiere is live. Everything else we take,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but when you do it live, what you see is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what you get in last season, right in the middle
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of the show when we're supposed to be boys and Lilly,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he said, Niece, get the doubt, And I was like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: what is You know that it is that kind of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: thing with a live audience, you know, and then you're
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: doing it, You're doing the premiere live like you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you basically on the high wire. You're out there doing it,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and so you you have to trust, you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: know that you have to make that audience laugh. You
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: hopefully that if it makes us laugh, it'll make you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: half at home. And that's the kind of thing that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know they try to do. But I'm you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I take a lot of uh freedom because I you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I co created the show animate executive producer. So if
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: if it fails, then you know, hey, man, it was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it was what I thought would work, and so I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: go with that. You know, it's hard for you to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: play a reverend a little bit. I mean, sell the man,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? You know. The thing is is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that you you wanted to try to play a real
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: person that also has these flaws. So you know, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: know a lot of reverends that are good people, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, when you get to know them up close,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you realize they got flaws like regularly regular individuals. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go to that part. And so
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes it does feel like we got, especially in the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: first season, we got to areas where we felt like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it could be a little blasphemers, you know, like you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I end up eating some weed cupcakes or something, you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: know I'm saying, and you think like, well, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: like is that too far? Like you know, but you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like you know, I was trying
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to stop somebody else from being, you know, on drugs
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And it was a it was a choice
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I made at the time. Like so you know, uh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I have a good time feeling like feeling
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: cool about myself when you pushed it, pushed the envelope
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: or ask a question, is this spiritually sound? You know
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Why are you looking at him like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that easy, just because I'm just I'm just checking this answer,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just trying to see where he lands with it, because
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you sometimes it says, baby, I think I'm being a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: little blash man. Well no, but I'm just let's just
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: talk about session for a second, because you know, even
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: like when we're on our church set, yea, you forget
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm like punking, we in the church, stop cussing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Don't don't cuss so quick in here, but ratchet it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: back down. Okay, And oh that's what you found. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: didn't know that you can find god temple anyway. Oh right,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm with all that on. You know, keeping your man
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: now subject for you being a married man and being
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: on the show a TV husband, but share advice for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: keeping your women happy? Well, you know, you have to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: pay attention. And I think you know that's the thing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: about it is, is to care about your woman always
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to you know, to pay attention to, to listen, to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: talk to, to date, to be involved. You know. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: think these are things that happens after a while in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: your relationships. You find yourself either taking your own selfish
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: attitudes towards the relationship and you don't really pay attention
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to your mate. And I've been married with fifteen years now,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we've been together eighteen. So it is that process of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of caring, like you just have to. You have to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have to make yourself care, like I mean,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it's the truth of the matter. Like relationships, you're like, oh,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you're talking about. But yeah, man,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I need a book, a deal, and a show. Yes,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: my dog right there, he got a hundred things going
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on top five. Oh yeah, now I see that that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: character right there? You like that nothing, It was some
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: praise going on around there. But yeah, but but that character,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that was fun. And you know, I like the opportunity,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: like in uh to be off there, like in a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: hunted house with that, just to do these wild characters
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that's off the chain that you just you know, you can,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you can dive out of that kind of normal,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: easy going Cedric mold that people like y'oll said, just easy,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he cool, like I'll do some wild stuff. I'll be Charlemagne.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I got a Charlemagne this side of me. Oh that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that character is top five. That was me when I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: used to be a promoter. You know, it's it's a hundred.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a hundred. Every everybody who's done this,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like you go around you you know, these guys, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: all they could promise you the world. They all bleed,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I get this whatever you need a millionaire. What happened
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: was that you didn't want to do it, you got tired.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Well you know when they changed it. You know the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: thing it was, they went they moved the show to Connecticut.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So you know when it was here in New York,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it was really you know, it was advantageous to me
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to be here, to be in the city, to be
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: able to do other business and do the show. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we had some great opportunities here. When they moved into Connecticut,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it was just one of those situations where it wasn't
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: gonna work. It was you you're there three to four
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: months and I'm I got small kids. I mean, I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: live in LA and it just wasn't conducive to be
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: like in Connecticut for four months. They really put you
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out of the loop. So I passed on it. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: they were there and they were shrinking the show. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: think they were actually trying to you know, either you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: wrap it up or whatever. So they were shrinking the show.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: They were bringing down everything. So all the producers I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: came to the show with that'd be like, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all y'all guys. They was bringing in a whole new
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: crew and it was just me. So I was like,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: now I don't want to do that. Now, both of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: y'all know how to keep a check. And recently Lee
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Daniel said, you know, you got to know how to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: play the game. Yeah, is that true? You really have
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to know how to play the game because y'all stayed working. Well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I have a lot of jobs, and um
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know necessarily about that. I keep
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: them by playing the game. But I do understand what
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: he meant by you know, there is a show and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: there is a part of it that is a business.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Um for me, I guess my my own thing I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: try to do is to diversify. I want all my
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: stuff to be different. Like I love playing Cedric's wife
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on the show. Then I do my job on HBO,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: which is so very different from from that job, which
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is getting on I just did Selma. Yeah, I was
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a lesbian on the Mindy Project and then Knock It Off.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I was in the I was also in the historical
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: drama selling let me bring it back up? Yes, um,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm about to start a new project with Ryan
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Murphy called Scream Queens. So I like all of everything
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that kind of And y'all know I'm an author because
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you talked about my book. But I like to just
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: try different things. But but but this is part of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the business. That is the business and not the show,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you know, coming around and promoting and you know, it's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a part of it. Yeah, I mean it's it's definitely
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a part of it. I mean, you know, for a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: long time, and it was a couple of different things
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: doing that argument. Like I thought though, I thought that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they both had, you know, valid points to what they
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: were talking about. But you know, the one thing that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Monique that resonated with me was was the idea of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: going to con And you know, you have to go
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to promote with the expectation that you're supposed to do
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: these things when you really participate in such a small
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: part of a movie, like I mean, and you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I think that it's important to be able to go
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and promote. But when you when you when you're an artist,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you're a creative person. You got you got a life,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of things that you do. When
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: when asked to do things that are like beyond the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: scope of what the contract is, then what's the where's
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the opportunity in it? For me? I get it, Like, yeah,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I love the idea of going to CON. I get that,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna cost me money to do this, like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this is this is gonna cost me time to do this.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And if it's not valuable to you then and I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I ran into a situation like that on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Barbershop the Barbershop too, and so we made it. We
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: made a different kind of deal. But you have to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: be you have to make sure that your messages is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: understood with the people in not coming off as something
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that you know, I just want something. But I get
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: her point. I get that, Like, man, we work hard,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you don't. You just don't expect me to change everything.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And then you know, and then go, well, you just
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: didn't play the game. You didn't play the game. They care.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean certain artists they you know, they do that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I mean you know, and and and you learn from
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: other people, like like the international aspect, like Will Smith.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You know, he taught all of us that you gotta
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: go out there and promote your over internationally and get
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it known. It's important for you to become a brand internationally.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So there is a sacrifice to that, and sometimes it's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: want to cost you like but again, if you Will Smith,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you can afford to do that. If you making fifty
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: thousand on the movie, that's a different that's a different choice.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Like you like, I don't know about that move right there.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: We don't see you in Bobershop. Three. It's because it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was difficult to work with shop. Damn right, yeah yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: they're doing it. Three. We getting we're close, we close close,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we close studs. I negotiate my can Field Festival Tripp
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: making that to move right now, that's my whole move
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: about my international travel with any I gotta ask you,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: um Felicia Rishid. They just did an article about how
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: she's coming back to TV and she's going to be
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: playing a lesbian FBI agent in a new series of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: clos Justice. Yeah, as in Claire Huxtable. Now, now some
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: people are asking this, it's going to ruin her legacy
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: as missus Huxtable. What do you think about all these
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: characters on TV? Now? You know, I see a lot
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of people talking about why there's so many gay characters
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: on television, you know what. First of all, to answer
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the first question, no, I don't think it's gonna ruin
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: her legacy. I think she's an artist. I mean, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: as an artist, you can't say every role I'm gonna do,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be America's mom and that's the only thing
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that that would be so narrow and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so limb. That's like an artist only doing you know,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the same song all the time. This is like, come on,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you want new music,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you want new material because that feeds us as an artist.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So no, I don't think that's gonna affects her career
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in any sort of negative way. And I just think
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that art imitates life. And now we're living in a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: day and age where it's you know, becoming more socially
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: acceptable to stand in your truth and be who you are,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and people want to see themselves represented on television. So
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why. Yeah, I don't mind
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the gay roles as long as like they're they're gay
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for a reason, not just gay just because you won't
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: gave people to watch your show, right, you know what
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, the gay cop or gay attorney. But who network?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Remember Logo, They had a whole network that was just
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: dedicated for gay And you know she's going to do
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it with a degree of dignity. I mean, she's just
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you know, she's just that kind of person or in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a natural character. So but the ideology of recognizing that
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: this could be a real person, that this is somebody
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who out there lives is true. Felicia as an actress
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, a great artist, she's gonna be able
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to deliver that. Now she get it to some real
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: hot lesbian stuff. Then that too much, too much, too
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: much to think about her husband Cluston, Texas. You can't, man,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just for a minute, this is Row with Mom and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Steve Game. Oh my god, that's just unacceptable. What happened.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I'm tables turned real quick. Yeah, yeah, that alone, but
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that's already weird. You know, the mustache getting your husband
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: say all right, you know this is a little different.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I like the role bring somebody into the barroom. No,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: he did not. My husband didn't even know that. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: don't even he knew I was a landscape. But he
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: didn't know that Mindy and I were gonna kiss on
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the show. So he when he watched it for the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: first time and then he saw the kids, he said,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: straight up in the bed and then he looked at me,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and then he looked back into the TV and he
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: looked at me like and then he was like, oh,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: so that's how you feel. And I'm like, what you act? Like?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I said, I was just acting. It's like, you didn't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: walk into the bedroom and catch me kissing the woman.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It was insane. And he was like, oh yeah, yeah,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and he was just looking you know. But I mean,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I guess it's different when it's your red, you know
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: what I mean. You could watch TV and see anybody
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: do whatever, but like, you know, his wife had to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: see top five or did your wife see you? And
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: touldn't look at yea. So it's different why And it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: different when it's your, your person and you feel a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: little like, you know, wait a minute, with many like
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: did you give this morning and we're about to kiss? No, Actually,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Mindy said to me, Cedric, Actually she said to me.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: After the first time my kisser, she was like, oh
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: my god, you're a really great kisser, and I can
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: do so much better. I'm this next well, and I've
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: had him for a long time, so I know what
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to do. Um. And and so she just wanted to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: challenge herself to be a better kisser. So I was like, okay,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but it's cool. It doesn't really matter how you kisses.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You taught it some tricks. Well, god, is it true
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that you and Shery sheperd once went to go key
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: kills because kat William stood up, Well, okay, okay, here,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: here here's the thing. Um. The short answer is yes,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: but don't show up for much of nothing. Well, you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: know what, but the thing we did. But I was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the sound. I was the voice of reason though, because
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I was like wait a minute, you know what I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Because she is the one person in real life who
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I would call if I needed bail money. I'm the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: person she would call if we both in this together.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: We ain't gonna make it. Somebody ain't gonna make it
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: home tonight. So I was like, wait, I'm man. You
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: know I did talk her out of it, but yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you heard about that. Yeah, come on, let's move on.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Like one of my writer moments, Cedric's barber Battle. Yeah,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: why do you always want you to the barber shop?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I want to cut it for real. I don't know
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: how to cut it here at all, you know what
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I mean. But it's just one of those you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I think you know from the movies, from the barber
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Shop movie. It was always that, you know, It's one
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of those the real black country club like place where
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: we go, where we hang out. It just really an
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: identifiable spot of a place where there's a lot of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: social issues discussed, whereas the freedom to be whoever you
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: want to be, to have a different, you know, type
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of opinion about the life and everything. So uh, you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and in this world had never really been like you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, of course, with all of the reality shows,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it's never really been captured. So but a lot of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: these guys, like like tattoo artists, they just really talented nowadays.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: They have a real skill set. They talk a gang
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of stuff, they own on many of the subject matters,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and we thought this would be a real cool place
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to go in and and create a reality series where
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you see guys that can really cut hair and get down,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you know, talk a little trash, have a good time.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And so we thought, you know, and these Barbara battles
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: are real. They're out there, you know, all around the country.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: They have them every you know, every weekend. That's showing
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: their skills, and so we thought we try to capture
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and put it on television. So we look forward to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: doing that on CW on April seventeenth and prevent They
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: actually they came to me, the producers came to me
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: with it early, and then I helped develop it so
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you know, EP and it and then you know, shaping
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: in and turn into a show. So we, uh, we
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: did that. Um it took a you know, over a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: year to really kind of get it, you know, shaped
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: up and everything, so we were happy with it. We
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: came to New York We've done a lot of a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: lot of them here, harl of them and uh queens.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Then we went over to Jersey. That was hot. You
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: know a lot of real dope barbers all around. Man,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Are you ever just talented anymore? Are you just always
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: like ep? Uh, you know, only like in the movie,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: like you know, like you know movies. But most of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the time I try to console. I try to, you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: have make sure that I can, you know, have an
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: opinion on what, you know, what it is that I'm
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: trying to say or do in the in the in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the project. So I usually ep and them sarchs of time.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The thing about him is that that he really knows
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: his business. What you finishing this or something? You know? No, no,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Felicia wasn't like this. Yeah, listen, I want you to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: knock it off. You know, his wife is. It's kind
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of from the hood and I don't need everybody settle down. No,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But I look up to e Centric so much because
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I watch him leading our show and he's just so
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: smart about it. It's not like you know, somebody put
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: their name or something. You're just saying something make that
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: black instead of around you know, you're just like, oh
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: my God with this guy knock it off. But he's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: really not that guy. So because he is smart, it
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And he knows the business side of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the show as well, so it it makes sense. Who's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a diva in the bunch? You guys got to do
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of press. Who's the diva, who takes the longest,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: who's the hardest to work with? Who? Honestly you were here?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I don't think we really have
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a diva. We do have people who are time challenge okay, hi,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm very dark. I don't deny that it's real.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It's really is a part of my DNA. Yeah, so,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: but I don't really think we have Do you feel
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like we have a No? No, I mean it's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it's a very very cool said I think that. No. No,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you know, you're amazing. You know, you have a energy
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you you know you have you know, she's always brightened
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the morning, a lot of love. She comes in. She
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: makes everybody feel the same way, like on the set,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: like all you know, and I mean this is like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: camera crew, like grips everybody. She's very loving like that,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, that's the attitude that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: we try to have, so you don't really get a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: lot of like temper tangiums or somebody just you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: flexing a you know, she could like she got a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: lot of shows going on and a lot of things.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you'd be like, well, you know, you could
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: be flexing if you needed to, but you know, thank
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you very much. Yeah, but the fresh Prince Mama, Yeah, yeah,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the girl from UM with some old show used to be.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You came to the defensive us, Inda, how did you
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: feel about a Juliana's apology and did you think of
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: comments were like racist? It was very ill fitting. But
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: what I did think was that I loved Zandaa's response
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and I just said that, you know, hopefully this will educate,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: inform and enlighten moving forward, because some people don't. You know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you you do have some people who are, you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: very blatant in how they feel, and you have some
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that think, oh, I think that's okay because of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the music I listened to or
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the people I hang around, that I could say this
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and it's okay. And you you were not necessarily trying
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to be malicious, but you were out of order, and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes you just need a polite check. And I think
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that that's what that email was, just kind of like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a you know, it was kind of like a polite check. Yeah,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I think it whenever you can just tell when people
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: have been watching Fox News and then they get on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: their real job, they just say, it's some Fox News stuff.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: You don't even know. You were, like, when the hell
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: did that come from? Because Julian and she cool people,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but that was like one of them remarks that just
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: came from out like you're like, what you're talking about
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: right now? You know, So I think you know that
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: it needed to be corrected, and I thought that the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: young lady did a great job responding tour and uh,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about the apology, but you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: just a comedy because you're a comedian, you were, nah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, she's not a comedian, So I mean,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: if it was comedian saying that, you might go, all right,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: cool comedians will push your button and be saying things
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: just for you know, the purposes of it. But yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, exactly, and sometimes you know, funny missus.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: But you know again, but if you're a comedian, you
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: know that that's that's the part of the brain that's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: working when you try something and they may miss, you
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. But when you're not a comedian,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that's like, you know, you're you're a commentator. You're a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: person who's like on the red car, you know, carpet commentating,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Reporting, Like that's a bit
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that's a bit bold to take that shot. When you're
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: doing comedy, is there anything that you won't go or
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: won't talk about? Not necessarily? I mean, you know, I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think you have to be
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: free as comedian. That was something I remember, you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: coming up early, Like people used to think I didn't
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: curse at all, and my mom used to, you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: come she would come to my shows and then she
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you know, my mother was a school teacher, so she
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: used to always try to get me to use my
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: words and language and all these things. But you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: whenever I felt like I needed to say something that
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: had a curse word in it or the way that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: it felt, the way I felt about it, I just like,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you gotta be free to say that, like you just so,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes you can push a joke subject matter, you can
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: say things that maybe beyond the scope, but I like
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: those kind of comedians like I mean, I like people
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that go over the edge and push the button to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the other way. So, you know, I think that, uh, comedy,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you had to be that free. That's why you had
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: people like Chris Rock that you know, they they they
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they pushed the humvelope along, you know, people like Kat
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Williams and you like you extremely funny dude like and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: he says it his own weight, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: So the the ident of the identification of being able
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to say, alright, cool, this is my voice just the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: way I want to say it, you know, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and then then you have a right as a person
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to go I don't really like that, that's not my
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: taste or whatever. But Bash, when you said Martin Viking
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: was a whole yeah, yeah, man, yeah, that was That
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was probably one of the most controversial times that I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: had as a comedian, you know, uh, you know, dealing
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: with that, you know, because all the civil right Jesse
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Jackson called me in my house. Really this all cedric
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: all this is Jesse like, man, you get this number,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know, and well, you know, I mean, and he
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: had a valid point, which I thought was really great.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: He was like the thing about this is that when
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you put something out like that, whatever you say, you
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: got to remember that these films are going beyond uh
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the this kind of core audience that you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: think you're performing for, and that so it's going to Brazil,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: let's going to all these other countries, and they could
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: take excerpts of that and and manipulate it and and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: then show them just that. Like so you had a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: whole generation of kids growing up. Not often I have
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a dream speech, but off of Martin Luther King was
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a whole like that's the part that they're going to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: teach them. And so that was his that was his point.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I you know, I accepted that, um, you know, as
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you know validation then you know, also said, you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: as as an artist and as a person that was
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: just doing this character, that's what that character's point of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: view was. And I mean I understand the controversy, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I think that you have to take your argument up
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: with MGM. But they showed it. They kind of exposed
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: this album a little bit. Yeah, Martin was getting it
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: in well, I mean that's bill was that. That was
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the part about it that you know, again, you know
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: people uh you know, people you don't want to live
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: with the truth. When you icon eye somebody, you don't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: want to necessarily take away from the fact that they
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: are this icon and they're this great person one on
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: one level, and then that they are individual and a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: human being on another level. And so these are the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: things that you do have to be careful of, you know.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think that you know, as artists,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: when you're doing art, you have to be you have
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to have the freedom to tell the truth that you
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: see it. So you know, when people want to show
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: these aspects of it and understand that that is a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: part of who is, what his legacy is, then you
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: can decide if that was enough to validate, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: or devalue him as a human being, like you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: like all the greatness that he did, because you know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: he also liked girls, like a lot of them. Like
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you know, all right, you know, I don't see the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: wrong with it. I'm a man, I get it. Yeah, Yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that's story. It's true for a lot of pastors. But
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you try to live in that place to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: cover that. But then you do have some that are
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: like you know, hearing my bullet holes in my stab wounds,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: this is the life I lived and you know that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But probably it probably resonated even more
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: because he wasn't the one who was owning it. You know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: somebody else was telling his truth, so it you know, yeah, yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's the thing about that when you because
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it's all at hindsight, you know, it's after the fact
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that he's passed on. He don't have any any defense
• 29:00
