I never wanna say Because Hollywood Has no imagination But I'm older than you For sure the show. I never want to say because Hollywood has no imagination, but I'm older than you, for sure. Jess is 32. I'm 32. Okay. She said, like I said.

Like I said. I thought y'all were on the same age. That's why I was like, you know. Maybe we are. Look, in the mind of God, there is no time. You know what I'm saying? So we're all the same age. A random question before we get into who you are.

Are you related to Kwame by any chance? Yes, Kwame is my brother. You didn't know that? No. Oh, yes, that's my big brother. I'm an idiot. Okay. We're the same dad.

Okay. Dope. Yep. Now, I always say this. Tell them about the show. What is the show about? So the show is about, it's a real fun way into a private investigator show. It is crazy.

It's crazy. It's from my mind. But I play D.R. Bricklin. She's a school teacher. She's having a rough time. She's going through an emotional divorce. She's divorcing Morris Chestnut, a character played by Morris Chestnut. Does he look like Morris Chestnut?

No. That's all I was going to ask. Let's find out right now. What is happening? And I've seen Morris Chestnut close, up close and personal. Look at him close up. Even looking at him from far. He don't look like him.

No way near. What is going on? Because a lot of people have been commenting under stuff like, oh, I see you got Charlemagne in here. What is that about?

People got good taste, man. They're just being, they're bots saying that he pays them to go on and say that. I don't do that. So do you see it? Is that your thing

where you're like, well, listen, I know I'm 90s rom-com fine. So listen, I know I'm 90s rom-com fine. So being that I know I'm 90s rom-com fine, it don't ever insult me when they say I look like Morris or Morris look like me. But who is they? Like, who is this? Who is they?

Who is saying this? I'm just curious. Then I'm going to give you my take on it. Just people. I don't know. Just people out here. Just like if you're walking down the street, somebody will say, is that Morris? Or Taye Diggs. Who's that? Never Taye Diggs. Taye Diggs really don't know just people out here just like if you're walking down the tree someone will say is that morris or tate digs who's that never tate digs they really don't get confused

for us uh okay let me be very honest looking at you in person and and please be seeing morris in person and loving him the way that i do i can see it i honestly feel like another phony hold on let me no no no no no no no no. Could you let her cook, please? No, no, no. Let me start. Let her cook, cook queen. Let me start with this. Morris is one of those people that's going to be fine to the day he dies.

He's a beautiful creature inside and out. It penetrates out from him. It's obnoxious, actually. He gets on my nerves with that. He's not aging, the whole thing. So he is in a class over here to himself. Right. However. Oh, boy. so he is in a class over here to himself right however oh boy i could see you being you know uh not morris chestnut but but boris chestnut or or laurence chestnut like i could certainly

see that y'all are from the same tribe do you want to put on some glasses yeah because girl what we could see if there was a family reunion, I could be that. I'm looking at you. I didn't see it until I'm looking you dead in your face, but your eyes, your nose, your lips, I could see same tribe. Did you see him before? Could you stop hating? Before what? I don't see the point of this hate.

Before I saw him in person? No, I wouldn't. No, no, no. She means like years. Seven years ago. Because Marcia, before and after. Beautiful creature, like you said. Yeah.

But did you see Charlemagne Tha God before? What is this hate for? I've known Charlemagne Tha God since childhood, right? Oh, my God. You've seen him way before. Yeah. What is the point of this hate? Did you have plastic surgery to look like more chestnut?

Yes. Yes, you did. Yes. You did? Allegedly, he just showed up one day like, oh, who's this man? You know what I'm saying? Don't let that saying but i do see it but but back to the show who is the era kill patrick kill patrick there's no way morris anything looks like that no way in hell

i'm saying a cousin y'all I'm not saying let me say continue on queen okay thank you who are you um so I'm playing this character um who's going through this divorce and you know she's having a hard time her friends are like you got to get back out there and so she gets back out there she goes on tinder meets a guy that she immediately is infatuated with they have a great connection and he goes her so it's a womp womp and then she's feeling like no i feel like it was real yeah and so my character goes to try to figure out what happened where he is and discovers that he might be at the center of a of a decades old cold case that

needs to be solved and so now I take all my friends with me and we got to solve the mystery. Where did the idea from this show come from? Was it something that happened in Detroit? Yes. Based on a real story? Yes. There's a true crime aspect to it.

I mean, the idea of wanting to play a black female PI has been with me for a long time. I loved my granny. I used to sit up under her and watch Murder, She Wrote and that. And I loved the idea. I felt like, where's the black woman in all of this? We're the ones that know how to solve things. Our intuition's so strong.

The way we look at a situation and can figure it out in two seconds over a glass of wine. I'm like, we would make dope investigators. And I wanted to see that Jessica Fletcher kind of character that was better dressed with better friends, you know, with funnier friends and was maybe a little bit hornier. And so that's sort of where the idea came from for that. But then there was a true crime case in Detroit that really affected me when I was a kid. It was a little boy who went missing.

I was a kid and I'm like, damn, kids can go missing like that. Yeah, that's not cool you know and I listened to all the chatter of the old folks around me like I think his mom must have had something to do with this this is bizarre you know how he just disappeared from a mall and then right before pandemic this grown man walked into a Detroit police station and he said I'm him I'm this little boy that's gone missing I think I heard about that. Wow. It was a big story. And for me, I was like, I remembered it instantly. I was refreshing the news, you know, online, trying to see what happened.

And finally, they took his DNA and they discovered that the guy was, in fact, nuts. You know what I mean? Oh, he wasn't a guy. No, he wasn't. No, he was not. Oh, damn. Yeah, and exactly. And it was like a womp womp.

And it made me crack up, honestly. I was like was. Yeah, and exactly. And it was like a womp womp. And it made me crack up. Honestly, I was like, that's so damn Detroit. Like this dude just decided he was going to wake up, go into a police station and just talk a bunch of shit. To me, it was a tone that was captured about the city of Detroit where you feel like it's going to be sad or tragic. But a lot of times it just turns out to be funny. And people just wilding. And that sounded like that. That sound like a tubi movie that was detroit is a tubi capital of the world yes absolutely i watch it every day you do girl

plug love what dirty d oh wow he played me he played me too he might play me again three you've seen more than I have. Everything. So that little boy stuck with me, and I really wanted to know what would happen if the little boy had been kidnapped or something and he came back. What would his story be? Where would he have been? And so that kind of the show is kind of a fictionalized version of working that out in my imagination. Now, wait a minute. So you was a school teacher.

Yeah, it's a lot. Middle of a divorce. Meet a guy on Tinder. Go on a date. Have sex with him. He ghosts you. You realize he's been kidnapped. So you go looking for him. So now she's a P.I. How the hell I got to do with a little boy? But the sex was amazing. What you mean? Because he, oh well, I can't really give that away. Okay, okay, okay. But it's related to that story. But you got to watch it to see how that's related.

He's kidnapped as a grown man. He's kidnapped as a grown man. Maybe he just went back home to his family. Maybe. Oh, my God. Maybe. You got to check it out, because that happens out here, too. Yeah, absolutely. He didn't get kidnapped. He just went home to his family.

Wow. Yes, that happens too. Now, why is it so important for you to highlight Detroit life? You know, as a writer, it's what I know. It's what I know intimately. I feel like, you know, you brought up my brother. I've been in a lot of different rooms, I'd say. Like, I grew up with my mom, who was a single parent.

We grew up in Section 8, you know. But then at the same time, you know, my brother was mayor. He was elected just as I was graduating from high school. And so I've been to a lot of really fancy parties, been to a lot of nice things. And so I think there's not that many people who have traveled Detroit extensively as I have. I've been in almost every kind of room you can you can imagine. So when I was with my grandmother in the hood where she was you know storming into the crack house across the street to get her tv back

you know I've been on that street and then I've been at a you know inauguration or whatever so I feel like really well placed to talk about the city yeah now you work with Felicia Rashad as well yeah how was that I love her know, it's so funny. She's such a queen. Like, everybody talks about that regality, that air that she has about her. It's so real. We were talking about it.

It was funny because Keke Palmer was saying, like, she wasn't keeping it real as Claire Hugsville. Like, she was keeping it real. Absolutely. Like, she really is. That's who she is.

She just brings such a queenliness to her, to everything she does. And it was a dream come true i had a person too huh we had her saying all kind of stuff yeah she was talking about how she her character claims to have fucked all the all the original members of the temptation you know what's so funny that that clip went viral yeah and it took a while to realize this wasn't really her talking i don't know why somebody the way somebody sent it to me i'm like why police are talking like this yeah well i asked her because she was like

you know i knew them you know they were my friends so i asked her like how many of them did you sleep with did you sleep with any of them and she was like dr i know why would you ask that person that that listen guys that's detroit now that's detroit listen you guys this is my toxic trait i ask inappropriate questions i also like to get down to it I do not like Shit like Casual No small talk

I don't like small talk So I like to get Pick up your book It's in front of the laptop No exactly It's in front of the laptop There you go Available

Please Please You don't even read them I'm gonna read it I'm gonna read it Boris Chestnut I'm gonna read it Boris

You're one of my favorite people I want you to know that Oh thank you I met you but you are definitely in my just because you said you look halfway like Morris so what but you know what's funny same I was watching you on something recently where you were talking about doing ayahuasca and I said to my husband I was like I think I'm gonna do ayahuasca now and he was like he's been doing it my husband doing it for a while so he was like it took Charlemagne the god to do ayahuasca I and he was like he's been doing it my husband doing it for a while so he was like it took charlamagne the god right to do ayahuasca i've been telling you about this since for 19 years we've been together you never you've been with him 19 years and never tried it never tried it i'm so i've been a i think you have to be ready you gotta call you it has never i've never felt

ready um but also i'm very sensitive i'm just a super sensitive person and so I had an experience once where he was doing it with some people kind of outside of the house that I was in and I threw up in the house so I hadn't drunk it I don't know if it was the smell I don't know if it was just the closeness

to it of the proximity to it but I threw up so I was like that's that's a lot so I wanted to be really really ready my wife and I did it together yeah amazing experience yeah I mean the way that you put it specifically about you felt like you saw yourself without any ego without any egoic attachment that sounded attractive to me so I'll let you I'll keep you posted on how that goes. That's what's up.

I can't believe that you let this character sleep with one, a man one time after one time, after one date. Yeah, I think. And got digmatized like that.

Did that happen in real life? I think it can. I think when you know, you know. Yeah, you know, you know. I mean,

you don't know they're going to go missing, but you know. Like. I also think the older you get too, you know what you're looking for don't know they're gonna go missing but you know like i also think the older you get too you know what you're looking for like when you're young it's it's different you're trying things out but once you when you're dating older and you know who you really are i think when you found what you need it's like it can be pretty instant you like i don't know i mean i not not enough to go hunting for him after first one time missing

yeah because he could just go to you because he ain't like you but you know what here's the thing that's true and that's what she has to find out and i think that's the deeper part of the story is that you know the character is going through a divorce she's feeling very insecure she really needs to get to the bottom of this mystery to know if it is her and she needs to go doing some more self-reflection or if it was really what she thought it was. Gotcha. What I find interesting, because, you know, they tell you whether you're in therapy or just in life, like you should have open communication with your partner. Yeah. So your soon to be ex-husband. Yeah. Morris Chestnut. Yes. Comes to you and says, hey, he wants to have a open marriage. Yeah. And you automatically think he's cheating he wants to have an open marriage.

And you automatically think he's cheating. And now you want a divorce. Why would you think he's cheating? He just came to you with what he desires. Well, the character thinks he's cheating because anybody that's asking for an open marriage, I think she's just feeling like that's fishy. Don't you think out of the blue if somebody's like, we haven't agreed upon that. That hasn't been our thing.

And then you're like, ooh, let's try open marriage. Out of nowhere. That seems fishy, no? How long have the characters been together on the show? They've been married for, I think it's like, it doesn't say in the show, but I think in the writers room we talked about them being married for like five or six years. Oh, no, no, no. That's way too early. Yeah, that's too early to be honest.

Hit me with a question like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I get it. Yeah, but we're excited about the show. We're excited're excited that you know we did like a whole round of press and now there's been like emmy buzz around the show which is crazy because we're such an underdog i mean that the the show is on bet plus which you know only has a few million subscribers and some of the shows we're up against have millions and millions of subscribers. And so we're just trying to get the word out for people to watch and support.

And I think it's a beautiful thing because, you know, BET has in some ways gotten a bad rap for some of the programming in the industry. Like people love people love the shows, but a lot of times they're made really quickly and and so we really um we really wanted to craft this show and make bring a show to a black audience that was prestige that was premium that could be on any platform and so we've just been yeah and it's a beautiful way into it so yeah we're just excited um that people are showing us so much love and still finding the show i was gonna ask that so there's still a stigma attached with being with BET? You tell me. Well, we're not on it anymore because we didn't want the stigma.

That wasn't the stigma. It was just some things we didn't like that day. We couldn't see eye to eye on a bunch of things we're doing. And it was just like, hey, we'd rather just not be a part of it.

You know, it's funny. There are some tweets and I still call it, we'll always call it Twitter, but there's some tweets where people will say, show is actually good or like wow I'm y'all this is actual like it's a lot of actually and they're shocked and I'm like why y'all so shocked and you know I do think that that wasn't always the business model I do think that now you know Kenya Barris who's our, when he called and said, I'm going over to BET Studios,

he was very clear that they, that they now want to make some prestige program, programming by black creators. And they have put, you know, their money where their mouth is in our case. So y'all check it out and tell us if the stigma is still there, but I'm excited to be a part of trying to change it.

Yeah. It just breaks my heart because BET didn't start like that. Like, you know what I mean? When I think of like Real Husbands of Hollywood and Being Mary Jane, like they had that level of programming at one point and they went away from it. And now they have it,

but they put it on BET Plus because it's like your show, Dion Cole's show, it's Pat's show. I'm like, why don't we have more original programming on Linear? I don't know. I don't know why they do that but but bet plus is shaping up to be a little bit different from linear and they're like you said um average joe dion co's show miss pat is hysterical great about her and jordan cooper i mean there's some really great great shows on

there and they're for everybody you know but it is true i think of bet i think of my mom watching like tyva smiley at night and black news and all that kind of stuff and so you know there's still room for there to be some meaningful um art may make it all toddler programming too yes yeah yeah now is it hard to play a character whose love life is all over the place when you've been married it's great it's great i love it so much yeah yes my i've been married for 19 years. It's great. It's great. I love it so much. Yes. I've been married for 19 years. I don't want drama in my relationship.

I don't want to go out on meeting these dudes off of Tinder that y'all be doing. I don't want to do that. So I like to explore that. Why you gonna say that? Y'all. Oh, damn. We're all happily married here, right?

Yes. I will be. But I'm in a relationship i know i heard it's so cute thank you um we were talking about that today your your cute little photo shoots um yeah no i like to have all that fun uh on the show and not in my actual life don't it feel good you can just go home and not be like you know you can leave that there. And then go home and then talk shit about it with your husband. Yes. That's amazing.

Exactly. I do not want to be out in these streets at all. Yeah. You ain't missing nothing. There ain't nothing out here. I say that all the time, too. I'm so glad I don't have to be in these streets. Yeah.

It's no fun out there. Yeah. So I'm good. Yeah. At this point, you don't know if people want you for you or you because they see you on this BET Plus show. I don't know if anybody's trying to come up. I don't know. I just I just I'm very happy. I met my husband in college, you know, and he worked on the show as well. And so we we have a great working relationship. We have a great marriage.

We have a beautiful little boy. I never, it's funny, my husband is white. And I never, I know, I never. Dr. Humar just popped into the chat. Dr. Humar just popped into the chat. Hysterical. Where's he from? He's from the Bay. Okay. Let me just say, something different happened to the white popped into the chat. Hysterical. Where's he from? He's from the Bay.

Okay. Let me just say, something different happened to the white people in the Bay. They're just, I mean, they're just cool. They're just better. Yeah. They're just better. But I definitely grew up in like a black nationalist, pan-African, very,

very black household. I don't want to hear it. He don't want to hear it. You see him. He's looking at you right over there. Well, my dad is, my dad is probably right with him,

you know? So it was, I just think it's funny. Like the universe is hysterical and the universe kind of sends you whatever you need to grow. They say, you know, anything you hate, anybody you hate will wind up

in your family and um i think i think that's i brought him home i said guess what y'all coming to the universe wants us to grow you know the first time he came i did try to play that guess who i tried to play guess who jesus my dad was looking my dad was not amused how did your family take him when you first time you brought him you know I think it's always the sex of the parent that's your partner that gets more um more upset like your dad wants you to bring home a man like him it's another series too by the way I know I know and your mom brings home a white man but that's another series maybe well I tried I tried to sell that one a showtime that that that one didn't go. Take that. The B.T. Take your black ass.

They sure did. But he was I think it was a trip for him. My dad was a black nationalist, Pan-African preacher for many years. And I think my mother just wanted me to be loved well and wanted me to be happy you know i think black women are coming around to that much much faster they're like are you happy does he treat you well and she kind of was was good but over time i think i mean our wedding speech was my my dad's wedding speech was all about how he didn't speak to a white person until he was 40. Jesus. Jesus Christ. But everybody's grown, and Miles is who I fell in love with and who loves me back so much that it's just, you know,

everybody's had to get over it. I know that's right. That's what it is. So he ain't never be like, I don't think this is going to work. Your dad don't like me. He never got intimidated my husband no miles is like miles is so down for the for the dr kill patrick no he was just he was he said that my dad didn't really refer to him as miles for like the first 10 years he called him that guy but that guy i think it was more five years yeah i think it was

more five years yeah um but yeah no we we more five years. Yeah. But yeah, no. We're just, we're good. We work well together. And he's definitely my favorite white person. And it's helped me. Nice. What, in Eminem? And you're from Detroit?

Eminem's number two. Yes. You stupid. How's your mother-in-law's cooking? You know what? I lucked out. She could cook better than I can. She could actually cook.

She's from the South. And, you know, she makes greens and cornbread. And, you know, she's. With what? What does she make her greens with? Like the meat? She puts bacon in it. And to be honest, I actually would prefer turkey bacon or no bacon.

I know. She puts pork bacon in it. She puts pork in it. And she says she has to make it with the pork, too, because I've asked her. But no, she's not bad. She's not bad at all. I know that's right. Yeah, they cook better than I do.

You almost had us, D. We was going to watch the show. You had a lot of people. Stop it. Stop it. You're from Detroit. You're going to be E.T. I don't know. We appreciate of people Stop it Stop it You heard from Detroit B-E-T-A-S Right now

I don't know We appreciate you Charlamagne Stop it I'm just messing with you Charlamagne It's Diara right Wait

Wait Wait It's Diara Wait I want to know about this Are black men Really still mad About black women

Marrying white men I really don't feel like Y'all care My man is not all black You know what? Ask this. Ask Charlamagne. Charlamagne has some daughters.

This is a great question. Yeah, you ask her. You go from there. Go. Do they have white boyfriends? No, my oldest is 15 and about to be 16, and I have an 8-year-old, 5-year-old, and 2-year-old. Okay, so if the 18-year-old came home with a white boy, what you saying to her? I wouldn't like that.. What you saying to her? I wouldn't like that.

What would you say to her? I wouldn't say anything. But, you know, to your point, what you said about your dad, I want to see my daughter bring home somebody who looks like me. Because I like black love. I'm not against interracial relationships in any way, shape, or form. I just like black love. I like seeing black men with black women having black kids.

That's just my personal preference. But his daughter is around a lot of whites. But I was going to say, what school does she go to? What school does she go to? No, no, she's still in high school. Yeah, she's still in high school. Right, but does she go to a black school or a white school? Oh, no, it's definitely predominantly white.

Yeah, so that's the thing. That's the hard part is I think, you know, I met my husband at NYU. I thought there would be black men there there really weren't Donald Glover was there I can't believe we never made out or nothing I don't know where Donald Glover was when I was at NYU I mean we were at NYU at the same time

I feel like that's something that you thought he wasn't looking for you either ma'am that's bullshit and there is my point that's my point yeah he wasn't looking dr lumbar is not completely hell no that's my point is that there weren't a lot of black dudes there a lot of asian and there are a lot of the ones that were were queer who we love but you know what you're gonna do with that and and then a lot of

the black dudes that were there were looking they were breaking their necks looking as soon as they got off the plane to look for for women and Asian women and everything else. So I feel like black dudes would be like, yes, go marry who makes you happy because we didn't pick you. Yeah, I think everybody should do that. I think you should marry who makes you happy. You just asked me what I like to see. I like to see black men with black women and black women with black men. I like to see beautiful black families.

Not saying all families can't be beautiful. They can. Of course. You asked me what I like. Ooh, I can't wait. I'm going to have this conversation again when she gets to college. Where's she going to school? I can't wait for this boy to be like.

You better pray for Howard. This is Billy. You better pray for Howard. Because if she going to Ivy, you might be in trouble. I don't know. It's not like it's not a thing where i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm so upset and disappointed but i'd be like he'd be like oh my god i'm so yeah i'd be like damn i think but to be honest i think that's that's natural you know what i mean i have a i have a um i have a mixed son you know i consider

him to be black because he came out of me. But we were at Disney. We were at, not Disneyland, Universal. And this little white girl was obsessed, following him around. And he just kind of wasn't giving her no love. And something in me was like, yes. And that's crazy. It's hypocritical.

I get it. It's not because there's so many other cultures that do that. Asian people want Asian people to be with Asian people. Indian people. Indian people. Dominicans want Asian people to be with Asian people. Indian people. Indian people. Dominicans want Dominicans to be with Dominicans. Like that. But when we say it, it's like, oh, wow, wow.

How dare I say that? No, I think it's anybody that has a beautiful culture. You know, when you have a beautiful culture, you want to see it continue to multiply. And so I get that. But for me, black love for me starts with loving myself and making sure that who I'm with treats me well and loves me the way I deserve to be loved and so that's that's my black love and and I'm also rooting for for the black love that's thriving out there and also depicting it in the show that's right yeah well salute to Mark I'm glad you and Mark is miles miles I'm sorry miles no why miles well do you think that was his real name when you first met him?

You thought he was just trying to be cool with you? I thought he was trying to be cool. He was playing the guitar saying his name was Miles. But no, his parents did actually name him after Miles Davis. Wow. Damn. That's what's up. Yeah.

Okay. Well, at least we know now it's some cooler whites in the Bay. That's good. They're much better. I'm trying to tell y'all. Check them out. Hold on. Much better than what?

Now be clear on that. They'll have you on the internet talking about much better than what? Black men? No, no, no. And then the other whites. Then you got the other whites from other places. What do you mean? No, no, no.

Not much better than blacks. Much better than the others. The others? Yes yes so the mexicans no stop it no because my boyfriend is mexican stop it i thought you came on here because you wanted people to watch i want people to watch the show okay what who do you look like, Morris?
