Chapter 2: What is the background of Ms. Pat and her career?
But I'm just saying, like, the podcast... Because TV is... They kind of got to, it's a little strict. It's a little, they love Miss Pat, but they got to keep Miss Pat in this thing because it's like, all right, we can't go too crazy, Miss Pat. We got to keep it. This is television. The podcast, you can just. I can be free.
Yes, I can.
You know, so you get a little pushback on some of the things I want to do on the Miss Pat show, Miss Pat Settles. But I'm free on the podcast and that's why I keep it. And that's why I still tour. You notice a lot of comedians who get TV shows, they stop touring.
Yeah.
You know, because the money can be good. Especially if you're on network TV. I never stop touring because I don't ever want to depend on somebody to feed my family. You can cut the lights off at the Miss Pat show or that court show at any time. I got to cut the lights off on this tour. Mm-hmm. I got to cut the lights off on the podcast. So it's what I like being in control of myself.
I don't ever want to have to go beg anybody to do nothing. Oh, please don't cancel the show. Cancel the show. It's your show. Right. You know, I'm there because you paying me. Right. If you stop paying me, I ain't going to come. So and that's why I continue to tour because I like I just I'm a person like I don't like to be led. I like to lead. Right.
What's what's some of the wildest bits or premises that they said no to for the Miss Pat show? In the writer's room or execs was like, fuck no. We did a race episode about how the younger generation find everything to be racist or offensive. And back in the day, you know, people said stuff and it just went on about it. Your grandmama and your mom and daddy. So the word jap slap.
B-E-T was, you ever heard the word jap slap? Yeah, yeah. Well, I didn't know that was a racist term until my husband told me, because I grew up with a black mama. Every day she'd be like, I jap slapped shit out you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we didn't know that. You know what my dad used to call pop quizzes? What? A Jap test. Damn.
But I didn't know that was a racist term, so I wanted to put it over in the show. And they was like, no, because at the time people was attacking Asian people. But I wanted to show, I wanted to put that word out there because I wanted people to know that it was a derogatory word. What was crazy, the younger generation had never heard of the word. Yeah. I'm like, we got to put Jap Slap.

Chapter 3: How did Ms. Pat's upbringing influence her comedy?
Yeah. So, you know, you might hear somebody say, call somebody, you know, the F word for a gay person. When we said that back in the day, you can't say that today. Right. So that's that's what the whole episode was about. How much how much of the writing do you do on the show? I don't really I do the ideals. So I do the stories for my life. And Jordani Cooper take it to the right room.
And I don't really write. I go in and tell stories. OK. And then they create it. I'm not a I guess you can say I'm a creator. OK. I don't really put pen to paper. I can stand over your shoulder and tell you what I see or tell you what's in my head. But I don't spell good enough to be writing shit. Yeah, I ain't going to be writing. But I tell you a good story. Right. That's what I do.
Is there a story from Atlanta that you couldn't have put In the show that you knew out the gate after the, the jab slap shit that she was like, you know, I'm gonna keep this story for myself and I won't even pitch it. Yeah, because the jab slap didn't work. This story didn't work. Well, that didn't get in, but like I said, the other word did get in.
Um, no, because they pretty much, the show is based off my real life. So 90% of that show is real. Okay. It's things that happen to me or things that I know people been through. So they pretty much let us do anything. I did an abortion episode where a middle-aged woman had an abortion without her husband consent because I wanted to tell the world it was my choice. It's my body.
Just because I'm married to you doesn't mean you have control over my body. I had a little pushback from the network. They said, well, who do that? I said, I know my friend did it. She didn't even tell her husband she was pregnant. Who want to have a baby in 40 years old? And then you a 90 year old mama. Don't nobody want that. I want to see the follow up episode with a 90 year old mother.
That's the episode that I want to see. You know, they have a few pushback, but, you know, thank God this show is based off of me. So they do a lot, a lot of things. And I think I've set a tone of the type of comedian I am. I don't hold back. I like to push the envelope. I like to go there. I like to say things other people are thinking about saying, but too scared to say it. Right.
So, you know, I think when people come to work with me, they know that they're going to get the real. Right. I don't I don't I hate people who talk like, oh, my God, girl, you're talking bitch breed. Talk to me like you talk to your creditor. So like your creditors. Yes. If you don't talk to your creditors holding your breath, don't talk to me holding your breath. Right. That's a fact.
Who are some of your comedic inspirations for your style of comedy? Who are some of the comedians you look at? Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, Redd Foxx. Redd Foxx. Yes. When I first started doing comedy, everybody was like, girl, you got stories like Richard Pryor. So I didn't know Richard Pryor was a comedian. I thought he was just an actor because I see him on TV.
So I started to research him and buy his albums and listen to him. And he told a lot of stories about growing up in a brothel. And I grew up in a looker house, a bootleg house. So we kind of had similar lives and we saw the same things in those types of houses. And so I just said, I said, you know what? I think I'm a storyteller. So that's what I tell. I tell a lot of crazy stories on stage.

Oh, them two tell everybody I'm their mama. Oh, my God. How's BET treating you? How's the business over there? It's great. You know, it's great. I've been over there for five seasons, so it's been really good.
Chapter 5: How does Ms. Pat's comedy address social issues?
I don't have any problem, but I don't have no problem nowhere I go because I speak up. Yeah. What's the difference between the two shows? One is a sitcom and one is more like a reality. As far as like the process and how that works.
Oh, it takes me, it takes me two weeks to shoot Miss Pat Seltzer and it takes me two to three months to shoot the Miss Pat show because it's a sitcom in front of a live studio audience. Okay. Oh, we have to get for the next season. We got to be in a live studio. Yeah, we got to pull up. We got to pull up one of the teams. You know what? It's like a backyard celebration.
Yeah, no, that's why we got to get there. We have so much fun. We have, I mean, and the episodes we'll be writing, as you know, some are emotional, some is hilarious. We try to touch on all kinds of stuff. This season, we had an episode about... Immigration, which was very touching. And so, you know, we had all kinds of things going on this year.
So make sure y'all tune in when I give y'all the data when Miss Pat's show is dropping. How did y'all take the immigration angle? I don't want to give it away. Okay. I was hoping you wouldn't.
You ain't slick, white boy. You ain't slick.
I'm not your baby mama. You ain't slick. I'm saying that the gays infiltrated Atlanta. That was the immigration. The gays. They came from Atlanta. They run Atlanta. You can't do nothing in Atlanta without the gays. I love the gay. You know what I love about a gay man? Because they do their makeup better than women do. They do everything a woman's supposed to do, but they do it perfect.
Why do you think that is? I guess they have more time to practice. I don't know. But you go to those drag shows, you be like, damn, that nigga look good. They have belay, they lashes, they know everything. They the ones thought of that whole corset thing, bring your waist in. You know, lift your boobs up high.
They know, you know, take the tape and pull your eyes back so you can look 20 years younger. All of that came from that community. Mm-hmm. I just, I love gay men who is into makeup. Can't nobody beat your face like a gay man. Mall, so I know you're thinking about upgrading to the all new iPhone 17 Pro designed to be the most powerful iPhone ever.

She was like, oh, all right.

And that's why I asked you, you know? But, I mean, you over it now. I'm over it. Oh, yeah, I bet. Yeah, I mean, my mama's boyfriend molested me. I can't ride in El Caminos. Thank God they don't make them no more. Yeah. I went to... You so fucking stupid. He's just laughing at everything. No, but this is what they do to me. We have IG clips of him laughing at me being touched.
Like, the fact that you just added to it to make him laugh more. Oh, maybe because we're laughing together, right?
Yes.
