But not yet as a showrunner. Yeah. It was decided that if we give her a showrunner who has experience, who has knowledge, who can come in and just oversee everything—and I'm using that word— Using that word, oversee the entire project. If we give her someone who will be by her side through this process, then we'll give it another shot.

It was a man named Tom Anderson. Sweet white. White guy. As, by the way, most showrunners and writers were. Absolutely. Yeah. And so we got Tom Anderson. Now, here's the beauty. And we know that this could go terribly wrong. Now we've got this guy who doesn't fully understand the vision, maybe, who can't fully get into the experience of what these black women want to say. He's a dude.

He's a white guy. It's all the things, all the things. However, he understood that Yvette had the vision and Yvette understood. And he had faith in her and said, I'll be here. I'll be here if you need me. You can ask me whatever questions. And, you know, we'll have to talk to Yvette and find out what happened between the two of them.

But whatever it was, he understood his position and he understood the assignment and he let her do what she needed to do. And if you remember, he was there in the beginning and then we kind of never saw him again. That's real. He was there making sure his hand was there, making sure maybe reviewing the script.

You're going to see me fade out and I'm going to still get paid. So the most generous thing that he could do was lend his name and his expertise and his vision or whatever he helped her on because sure enough, the next script was accepted. And this is the pilot script. And this is what we're going to shoot now.

And I think Yvette would say that she's grateful to him for coming in and having that foresight to go, let me still cook. Let me be over. I'm still going. Let me cook. And he understood. Let me let her cook.

John was a stand-up. And John was really getting a lot of attention because he was funny and cute and had his own way with words. And then he had done the Johnny Carson show, The Tonight Show, and had just done so well on the show, so well that Johnny Carson invited him over to the sofa. It's a big deal. It's a big deal for Johnny Carson to say, you are amazing.

I do think that John got cast, but I think it was a happy coincidence that he was also part of William Morris. But what about his character? Listen, here's the beauty about creating a show, is that you get to set the worlds that they're in and set the worlds... In the future. So we know that Sinclair and Khadijah are cousins.

Sinclair is going to move from Minnesota and come work and live with her cousin. We know that Khadijah is a business owner and she's struggling to make it and make it big. She's got some success and there's more to have. There's more to come. We know that there's this...
