First of all, how dare you? How dare you?
And that's that storyline. R&B, because we're going to run out of time.
She knows how to do this.
Has Kevin already showed up at this point?
Staying busy. And to be helpful.
Not as well trained as the dog.
It's dumb. It's dumb. There's a sense memory in the writing that never leaves the characters. So they never get disjointed. Like the writer never forgets what has happened or has been said in recent, if not all of history.
Absolutely.
One of the great kind of, in my opinion, injustices in our industry for anybody listening to the podcast now who may have watched the show who would never follow stuff like this, but in six seasons of television, the writing for this television received one award. Well, this is true. There was one writer who got an award for a script.
But she has an NAACP Award.
And she has two more awards than any other writer on the show. There you go. Which is, in my opinion, one of the greatest injustices of the running of the show.
When you were directing, were you like, how are they going to do it? Same. I was like, what do you lose?
Lena, we'll get to you in a second.
She had to make sure that you were the first one to stand up.
He was the second person to stand up.
As we rewatched the show, we've realized that our show is populated by legends yeah and and yourself included when when i re-watched this episode i was like that's right lena wave came and did an episode of our show yeah that's ins that's insane insane everything that was going on in your life at that moment and my knowledge of you You were like a legend out of the gate for me.
As soon as I saw you, I was like, this is it. And I know you just mentioned you studied writing production at Columbia, right?
That's right. And you've been running The Chi for seven seasons. Seven seasons. Congrats. Thank you. At what point... Because this I don't know in my knowledge of you. At what point did acting, performing, also become part of the game for you?
What? The comeback of the comeback.
So then you stopped doing movies after that?
