I interviewed Tony Rock recently and asked him what advice he would give his younger self about the world of comedy. Press play and find out his answer, It may just serve as some Monday motivation for yourself. Watch below.
I had such a great time interviewing Tony Rock. It felt like I was learning and laughing the whole time we were together. I even wore my Biggie shirt and Adidas jacket just so I could connect with the Brooklyn in him. One of the questions I really wanted his answer on was how come people who are hilarious on social media with massive followings can't seem to translate their funny on stage like a Stand-up comic can? Watch Tony Rock answer my question using perfect metaphors. Check it out below.
I interviewed actress and singer Dawnn Lewis at the T-Boz Unplugged Benefit concert for Sickle Cell Disease at the Avalon in Hollywood. You can always count on Dawnn to support a good cause so I wasn't surprised to find her here on the red carpet. Check out our conversation below.
I interviewed the always funny Tony Rock who is a comedian, actor and new host of TV ONE's "The Game of Dating.' This network original primetime series takes a voyeuristic look at real-life dating while teams watch, react and compete to win cash prizes. "It is a hilarious, jam-packed series filled with comedy, huge reveals and excellent play along," said Brad Siegel, President of TV One. "With expert comic timing, Tony Rock entertainingly navigates the audience and our contestants through two dates - each one as unpredictable and funny as the last. It's the only game show where dating pays off!"
'The Game of Dating' begins each hour-long episode with three teams of friends and/or family who watch real dates in a "hidden camera" style from the comfort of their homes. Throughout the show, the teams, as well as Rock, will offer their funny and uncensored commentary. The couples could be on an awkward first date, enjoying a new relationship, or they could be an existing couple with history just trying to keep the magic going. The competing teams watch the dates and do their best to figure out the daters' stories and next moves in order to score cash. TV ONE's redefines the dating and game show genres by offering viewers provocative, sexy and hysterical new takes on classic dating show scenarios.

I interviewed Lisa Vidal who stars as Kara opposite Gabrielle Union in the BET drama series Being Mary Jane on the red carpet of the NAACP Theater awards. I love her character on the show. Even though the show is about Mary Jane they have given her great story lines throughout the seasons. Check out our conversation below.
I interviewed Stephen C. Bishop at the NAACP Theater Awards about his role as David Paulk in the television show Being Mary Jane on BET alongside Gabrielle Union. Not only has Stephen graced our television screens he also signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Braves and played in 20 games for Atlanta's affiliate in the Pioneer League in 1993.

I interviewed Aaron D. Spears on the red carpet of the NAACP Theater Awards. We talked about his portrayal of Mark Bradley in Being Mary Jane alongside Gabrielle Union.

It's been all over the news about how many artists have been asked to perform at Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration. So many artists have declined and the ones who have agreed to perform have been dragged on social media. Jennifer Holiday even got death threats and later decided not to perform. She even got emotional about it on 'The View.'
I watched rapper 2 chains Instagram video about how he declined an invitation to perform at the inauguration even though he always wanted to go to the White House. I interviewed Naughty by Nature on the red carpet of the T-Boz Unplugged benefit concert at the Avalon in Hollywood and I could not resist asking this legendary hip hop group how they would respond if invited to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration. Watch their response below.
I interviewed actor Donis Leonard, Jr. on the red carpet of the NAACP Theater Awards. He is best known for his starring role as Roscoe Kaan, the cross-dressing son of Marty (Don Cheadle), in the dark comedy television series House of Lies. House of Lies is a great show and one I watched all the time, so it was cool to speak with Donis. Check out our conversation below.
I was thrilled to be invited to ask two time Emmy-award winning Regina King a question on HuffPost Live. The first time I met Regina King was on a red carpet during my first year in LA. I was there to ask celebrities questions standing with no camera or a voice recorder right next to Entertainment Tonight. Instead, I remember having a pen and pad. Yes, I know right - rolls eyes.
Even though, I had no idea what I was doing Regina King still stopped and talked to me. I will l ways remember that. She could have so easily side stepped me. Celebrities run past reporters without thinking twice. The fact that she didn't says a lot about her. I still smile when I think of that moment. She was already one of my favorite actresses, but after this day she became one of my favorite people. Check out my question to Regina King on HuffPost Live below.
Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins
Studio Q attended the T-Boz Unplugged charity event held Sunday, January 15, 2017, during Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend.

I spoke to Naughty by Nature, Dawnn Lewis, Kristian Alfonso, Dorien Wilson, Don Benjamin, Lamon Archey, Tonya Banks and T-Boz's daughter Chase on the red carpet before the show.
