00:00So Living Single, of course, you know, don't people still come up to you guys all the time?
00:07Oh, absolutely.
00:08Telling you how much, you know, your shows mean to them?
00:10Absolutely.
00:11Yes.
00:12And it's wonderful being a part of the culture like we are, like, different worlds, but they
00:15made people go to school, they made people go to black colleges.
00:19Living Single made people want to be lawyers and stockbrokers, and we got a chance to see
00:24our excellence.
00:25So it's been great.
00:26It's been great.
00:27Yeah, it's a great career.
00:28I love that.
00:30I don't know that we knew that at the time, that we would have a legacy, but I'm proud
00:35to be a part of this.
00:36Absolutely.
00:37I want to know about, you know, your TV shows specifically, A Different World and Living
00:40Single.
00:41Do you guys feel like they could thrive today in the reboot world, so to say?
00:46Oh, I definitely think Living Single could.
00:49I would be fascinated to find out what those characters are doing now in their 40s and
00:5350s.
00:54And what their kids are doing.
00:57And they would have kids now.
00:58What their kids are doing.
00:59We have a child.
01:01Kyle and Maxine have a child.
01:02Oh, you do?
01:03They have a girl, yeah.
01:04Oh.
01:05And she would be in her, like, early 20s, maybe 19, 20 now.
01:09Then she can go to Hillman.
01:10A crossover reboot.
01:11We got to do the crossover.
01:12A crossover reboot.
01:13Yes, a crossover reboot.
01:14That's what's up.
01:15Okay, I can see the vision.
01:16Yes.
01:17Now, I'm curious.
01:18A Different World, I've heard, are doing, you know, a sequel series.
01:24Is that true?
01:25Well, they are saying that we are.
01:27And we are open and ready whenever the call comes.
01:32So, I would be excited, too.
01:35I think it would be about our kids going to Hillman.
01:38I think Whitley is having a midlife crisis, quite frankly.
01:41Because her child, whether it's her son or her daughter, is going away.
01:46And she's devoted her whole life, of course, full-fledged.
01:50And now she's feeling, whoa, I've only had one boyfriend.
01:55I've only known Dwayne Wayne.
01:57You've had more than one boyfriend.
01:59On the show?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Oh, yeah.
02:02I had three.
02:05But, you know, shows ending in an unpopular, you know, way.
02:08How do you guys feel your shows ended?
02:10Were you satisfied with the way that your shows ended?
02:12Or would you like to see an alternate ending for it?
02:15Well, I got fired.
02:16So, of course, I'd like to see an alternate ending.
02:19No, you didn't.
02:20Yes, I did.
02:21You didn't know that?
02:22No.
02:23Well, it's okay.
02:24I didn't know that either.
02:25It's okay.
02:27That's a travesty.
02:29It is what it is, baby.
02:30I didn't like how they changed our time slot in our final season.
02:34Because it just disrupted the whole flow.
02:37We had been at 8.30 for five years.
02:39And in our sixth year, they moved us to 8 o'clock.
02:42Which was against Martin.
02:44And I felt that was very racially motivated.
02:47And I didn't appreciate it.
02:49You don't have to divide our audience.
02:51They can watch Martin flip over to us.
02:53Don't disrespect us like that.
02:55But business is business.
02:57Do you guys feel like we need more black Christmas movies?
03:00You're getting them, yes.
03:01You need more black Wesley Christmas movies.
03:04Okay.
03:05How about that?
03:06You ready to keep the train rolling?
03:08Our movies are the best black Christmas movies.
