- In this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down with comedian, actor, writer, and game show host Anthony Anderson. The result is a lively and entertaining start to 2020. The topics are wide-ranging -- spanning Anderson's journey from Compton to Hollywood, his rough start as a standup comic, and his huge breaks (first being cast in the film "Life", alongside Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and Bernie Mack, then, only a year later, landing "Me, Myself & Irene" with Jim Carey).
Later in the hour, Anderson shares an amazing story of a meeting with Martin Scorsese that led to his role in the movie "The Departed", and details a life-changing realization he had in Australia, while working on the film "Kangaroo Jack."
Finally, the trio discusses in length everything surrounding the creation and evolution of Anderson's multi-award-winning sitcom Black-ish, dealing with social issues that so many other shows over the years have shied away from. Anthony also tells a few of his own Prince stories, giving us an idea of what it was like having the honor of being invited to one of the mega-star's legendary parties.

1:51 -- Talib: "So,...straight outta Compton. Crazy Motherf*cker named Anthony...tell us about your journey from Compton to the bright lights of Hollywood."
4:50 -- Anthony expresses his thankfulness, being a symbol of inspiration to his community as one of the lucky ones to achieve success, growing up in Compton during it's most tumultuous of times.
6:44 -- Anthony tells the story of his disastrous start as a stand-up comedian, the advice Guy Torry gave him, and how he learned from that failure to succeed later in life.
13:24 -- Talib asks Anthony what lessons he took away from his experiences early in his career, working with some of the all-time greats such as Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and Bernie Mac in the movie "Life".
17:12 -- Anthony shares what it was like working with Jim Carrey, and the Farrelly brothers on the movie "Me, Myself & Irene." He describes learning the "element of specificity" in comedy from Jim. He also speaks on his tutelage under Ozzie David and Ruby Dee.
21:51 -- Anthony tells an incredible story of all the factors that lined up for him to land his part in Scorsese' Oscar-winning film "The Departed."
26:47 -- Talib asks Anthony about working on the film "Kangaroo Jack," for which he won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award for "Favorite Fart." He shares a "Life" changing epiphany he had while living in Australia, shooting the movie for seven months.
33:15 -- Anthony speaks on his hit series "Black-ish." Talib asks him if he had any clue that it would become the cultural phenomenon that it did. Anthony goes on to explain how the show came together, with a focus on honesty and authenticity being paramount, and Talib gives his reasons why he feels it's one of the most important shows on television.
42:20 -- The trio break down and react to black stereotypes in modern-day society.

49:49 -- Anthony details Tracee Ellis Ross' casting call for Black-ish. He also tells a behind-the-scenes moment at the Vibe Awards that they hosted together, which resulted in Tracee holding a grudge against Anthony for quite a while.

1:00:08 -- The trio go on to discuss the theory of "intersectionality" -- leading different groups to find common ground in their marginalization and standing up for one another.
1:01:23 -- Talib asks Anthony if he agrees with all the approaches of how they deal with social issues on Black-ish, zoning in on the hot-button topic of corporal punishment. They also discuss the iconic "Lemon" episode, addressing the Trump election.
1:14:24 -- Anderson tells about his friendship with Prince and how that inspired the Prince-themed episode of "Black-ish." He also tells multiple fascinating stories about being invited to party with Prince and what a late-night hang with the legend would sometimes look like.
1:22:15 -- Talib asks Anthony important he feels historically black collages are, himself being a Howard University graduate.

Even through his roles you can tell Anthony Anderson was a humble stand up dude. Another great guest on a great show
He literally seems like one of the realest, most genuine people on earth.
"Talk to me in jive!" LMAOOOOOOOOO This show is splendid!
King Sizzle! 44:50 that shit had me dying 😆💀
@@CallintheGUNSHIP 100%
Never knew the brother was from Compton 💪🏾💯✊🏾 #salute
He actually says so in Law & Order
I knew this episode would be good, but Damn. They touched on everything. It flowed well. Jasmine did her thing too
DJ RJ Thanks you 🙏🏽
I remember him from that Saturday morning NBC show "Hangtime". He's had a pretty great career in both TV and film. Law and Order, Barbershop, Me, Myself, and Irene, Hustle and Flow, Romeo Must Die, Two Can Play That Game, Life, The Departed, Transformers, Black-ish
Broderick Simpson so many he’s had such an amazing career so far and it’s still going so inspiring
This is how to start the year off.💪🏾 🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾
This is becoming one of my favorite podcasts...S/O to Talib for having such diverse & interesting guests..
omega282 Thanks for watching 💪🏽💪🏽
BIG gratitude!
This interview is very deep.
We definitely don't want to have the same content you can get anywhere else.
Talib Kweli is a great interviewer
I like when Anthony spoke about manifesting his acting taking him overseas etc
Law of attraction is real
@@unknownx7252 so true man
Absolutely brilliant content. Honest, forthright, and not dodging awkward questions - not unlike your music. Refreshing! Real conversations....I've learned something every time, bar none. You are the unapologetic truth, and so beautifully humble with it.
I've seen them all, and they have all sparked family conversations. The genuine warmth every one of your guests has for you speaks volumes, and you'll grow exponentially, if there is any justice in this world.
We NEED these! Keep them coming, and thank you.
Big love, from London.
This interview was another, in a long line of, winners. I was thoroughly impressed with the authenticity between the three of you. One portion of the interview really touched my heart. It was the part about black people seeing well read black people as less than black or "white acting." I was born and raised in the south. I faced this at an early age and instead of hiding who I was to fit in, I chose to stay true to myself exist outside of the cliques. I did so because I had an understanding of my familial history. My parents grew up during the Civil Rights era, my grandparents survived in the Jim Crow era, and my great grandparents were a mix of freed slaves and children of freed slaves. I pray that we, as a culture, open ourselves to receive the blessing that will erase the fallacy of educated black = white acting. God bless
Opshun1 Thats the joys of having these conversations thank you for sharing your story and thank you for tuning in 💪🏽💪🏽
Wow. You mentioned Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee. I would meet them and others at my friends house (Fab Five Freddy). Brooklyn, specifically Bed Stuy was rich in Black culture.
Dope interview again my Gee
No barbershop questions that movie was hilarious
Hell yes. One of the most interesting actors out there! Thank you once again Talib and the whole crew!
Now... When does Dres the Black Sheep come there? He is currently doing an album done entirely on J Dillas' beats (Blessed by Ma Dukes)
Or People Under The Stairs, Double K or Thes One? That's real L.A. stuff..
One of the greatest and one of my favorite actors.exit wounds and Romeo an Juliet so many cameos and legendary apperaces.
LOL I'm a white boy named Dylan and you fucking slayed me when you were talking about the n-word and how we have these young kids named Asher and Dylan spouting that shit. Its too fucking true, but I try my best to strive to be better. As always, love what you do Talib, thanks for sharing your insight!
Edit: The Prince stories were wild as expected, such an icon :D
WONDERFUL interview! Keep up the great work Talib Kweli & Jasmin Leigh!! I really enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for doing and sharing this with us!!
Just when I think I like Anthony Anderson he finds a way to make me love him even more. Authenticity really matters in our culture. Kudos to the People’s Party.
LOVED this interview. I really enjoyed hearing more of Anthony's acting background and Blackish. OMGawd! This is my real life...minus three kids. LOL!

Those Prince stories... wow.
Shout-out to Mrs. Anderson - my mother knew her for a few years, and I met her, and she didn't seem like she'd tie you to avocado tree, butt-nekkid, and beat you with a fan belt.
#Classic episode.

As soon as he said 'become a judge', I said to myself that I could really see that.
