0:54
I often talk about how my first crush
0:57
hey that's right that's the rich is my
1:00
first crush Baxter Richard
1:03
all right
1:19
easily one of the most talented people
1:21
multifaceted when it comes to
1:23
entertainment she has done it
1:25
consistently yeah and there's never been
1:27
a time and we've witnessed she's been
1:28
through a lot of trials and tribulations
1:30
but you can't name one time that I've
1:33
been in her presence where the energy
1:35
come on wasn't vibrating bouncing off
1:38
the walls he ain't nothing but a beacon
1:40
of light that's shining right now give
1:43
it up for the one and only Tisha
1:44
Campbell
1:49
[Applause]
2:18
and I would imagine what we felt for the
2:21
Super Bowl you guys must feel for this
2:23
new original series absolutely speak to
2:25
that oh gosh you go first listen uh it's
2:29
very rare for three black women
2:31
um that have been in the industry this
2:33
long to get to come together and be a
2:34
part of something and build something
2:36
this is a love letter from us for us by
2:39
us to us this is literally y'all gotta
2:42
tune in March 4th March 5th oh that's
2:44
Saturday this is Saturday it's coming up
2:46
we're here at the right time we're here
2:47
at the right time yes yeah and it's
2:49
amazing amazing because you know we're
2:51
not
2:52
the the typical roles that you know most
2:54
of the time you get these roles like the
2:56
maids the girlfriend the wife this is
3:00
something that's built around women who
3:02
have means that's right that's right I'm
3:04
saying when if we're not you know you're
3:06
not seeing us you know doing a whole
3:08
struggle thing we go through our ups and
3:10
downs but it's one it's it's about uh
3:13
Womanhood and together that's right so
3:15
it's a really a really good funny
3:17
shouting it's funny I love it these
3:19
women are full the head fool is to my
3:22
right there it is well I would imagine
3:24
at this point even that imagery of the
3:27
struggling independent woman at this
3:29
stage of the of their life that's an old
3:31
thing right it is
3:33
yeah and y'all in the last woman age
3:36
yeah but would it have made a difference
3:37
if they wanted to put the struggle on it
3:39
would you have turned it down
3:41
no no because of because
3:58
I worked with her on My Wife and Kids
4:01
and I've been a fan of her work for so
4:03
long and it was remember I told y'all
4:06
the year the yes was like 20. I was just
4:08
saying yesterday everybody's stuff
4:10
whoever called me she happened to call
4:11
me and it's Allison like she's so
4:15
incredibly she's smart funny and
4:19
intelligent and um I knew I could trust
4:22
her right with with with
4:25
um this you know sitcoms they could be
4:27
kind of they could be corny touching
4:29
ghosts yeah they could be dating and so
4:32
with her I knew she had our back and she
4:34
would support us and have make sure that
4:37
it had laughter and heart and create a
4:39
collaborative environment you know what
4:40
I mean and what in Dayton no absolutely
4:42
I um I worked with their own big shot at
4:45
Disney show a long gone rest in peace
4:46
big shot but uh she was the voice every
4:49
time everything I said in that first
4:50
season that was real and black and and
4:52
necessary Allison wrote those words and
4:55
so when she called she called each of us
4:56
and said you want to come play we were
4:58
like with you absolutely so we trust you
5:00
absolutely and that's why that's why you
5:02
would have done it absolutely yeah
5:03
because the thing is it's it we're going
5:05
to show our dignity no matter what our
5:07
situation I mean there's certain things
5:08
about I remember there was something
5:09
I'll be quick about this there was
5:10
something in community in the first
5:11
season that they wanted me to do they
5:13
wanted surely to pull their pants down
5:15
and take a dump in a drawer to show that
5:17
she was upset I said let me tell you
5:19
something a black woman made listen a
5:21
black woman May defile somebody else she
5:23
may defile property but she will never
5:24
defile herself so that's not something I
5:26
said if I do this we're going to lose
5:28
every black woman taking the ride with
5:29
this character and they changed it and
5:31
how to do something else but I'm saying
5:33
a black woman show runner would never
5:36
have written something they wouldn't she
5:38
would know that that's that's beneath
5:40
who we are so if we were scratching and
5:42
surviving in this and Allison was
5:45
writing it it still would have been
5:46
broken but she wanted to show us in our
5:48
finest form right aspirationally and
5:50
this showed bounces put money into this
5:53
shows are closed
6:10
shout out to bounce yes all right DB you
6:13
want to jump in real quick yeah so uh
6:15
Tisha I was watching Boomerang the other
6:16
day and it's really it's really hard not
6:18
to say like I hope you catch a disease
6:19
and your dick falls off every time you
6:21
come into the studio but the reason I
6:22
bring a boomerang oh damn that's hard
6:27
it's a great line
6:29
um but the reason I bring that up is
6:30
because I was watching that and I was
6:31
also watching uh episodes of Martin and
6:33
as I've gotten older I've looked back at
6:35
content and I see it in a different way
6:37
because I've lived experiences that are
6:39
being displayed in film and TV Boomerang
6:42
I just think it was just oh you know
6:43
light-hearted comedy and then I'm like
6:44
Eddie Murphy was really kind of [ __ ]
6:46
up in that movie Martin there's
6:48
different episodes even like uh the one
6:50
where he bought the ottoman for you to
6:51
apologize yeah and it was like you see
6:53
him do things and you're just like damn
6:55
why would you do that but then in the
6:56
end you see like oh okay he knew what to
6:58
do to make it right and so I was just
7:00
wondering if either one of you have
7:01
maybe gone back and looked at a film or
7:02
a show whether you started or not and
7:04
maybe you looked at being like wow I
7:06
never really thought about this dynamic
7:07
or maybe this character is seeing in a
7:09
different way well yeah actually this
7:11
show again I'm pulling it back to act
7:14
but this show made me
7:17
um realize how my process works so
7:23
there's so much Freedom that Allison
7:25
gives us and it's on the page like it's
7:28
funny on the page but I realized that I
7:31
um during my process I will try to find
7:34
funny in between the lines and so Martin
7:37
does that and he's the most brilliant at
7:40
it and I realized wow he really did
7:42
affect me and the way that I approach
7:45
comedy because he wasn't only funny with
7:47
what they wrote he was finding it and
7:50
putting pieces of of the puzzle together
7:52
in between and so I I realized now with
7:56
that like looking back that I am really
7:59
affected and I'm so grateful for the
8:02
lessons that I learned from that I think
8:04
too I answered that yeah that's a good
8:07
answer
8:08
I think also you know because we're not
8:11
written for a lot of the time yeah you
8:13
gotta find a moment and I remember when
8:14
I would do community I would I didn't
8:16
get a lot of lines right it looks like I
8:17
had more because I was making stuff up
8:19
and grunting and doing a lot of stuff
8:20
but my thing is when you watch a
8:21
television show everybody's feeling the
8:23
space on that page on that screen and
8:25
you want to make sure that if somebody
8:27
looks where you're standing you give
8:28
them something yeah so you gotta give
8:30
them a little something to keep the keep
8:31
the screen alive in that little corner
8:33
and so that's part of what you're saying
8:34
that you learned from Martin and what
8:35
you do brilliantly on at your age is
8:37
that we find little moments never
8:38
upstaging it's not about trying to still
8:41
Focus it's just if somebody if somebody
8:43
glance over here go and give them
8:44
something look at this is what you guys
8:46
do on radio you know you make sure
8:47
everybody get a little something in your
8:48
Amen Corner and all that stuff we do
8:50
that on the side I had this one actress
8:51
who used to turn her back on on my my um
8:54
profile when the camera was on me she
8:56
would turn her back she didn't want me
8:58
to name her name
9:01
wait hold up wait could you repeat that
9:04
you had an accurate actor like so when
9:06
the camera is on you right and it's your
9:08
turn to do your lines and the camera's
9:09
supposed to capture your lines and her
9:11
were already captured she would turn her
9:13
back because she didn't want to give me
9:15
like she was saying oh like because if
9:16
you have if we're having an argument or
9:17
or a love love story the person that
9:20
you're working with will make some face
9:21
their face will show something to give
9:23
you something to play against if I give
9:25
you your back you ain't got number the
9:26
back of my head so you know that's
9:28
purpose you're not generous yeah yeah
9:29
she wasn't a generous person what year
9:31
was this nope
9:33
okay hold on hold up
9:35
hold up hold up Tisha
9:40
well let me just say this never have I
9:43
ever
9:44

9:50

9:54
he answered her phone and be like yeah
9:56
Tracy your phone
9:58

10:01

10:05
anybody to the media so I don't really
10:07
say anything classy you know what I
10:10
agree with that I I only have I only
10:12
have two people I've ever worked with
10:13
that I did not enjoy and I've never said
10:15
their name in an interview never ever do
10:18
you guys confront folks though
10:19
absolutely yes okay behind the scenes
10:21
absolutely you have to you gotta get
10:23
people told because you this is the
10:24
thing everybody goes on to do other
10:26
things and you don't want some crazy
10:27
person or some hateful mean person
10:28
wreaking havoc on another set so you got
10:30
to snatch them up and be like let me
