**Be sure to hear ALEX NEWELL'S 2023 TONY AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH (X or TikTok)
Laverne has a fun catch-up sesh with her good friend Broadway supertalent Alex Newell. This year, Alex was one of the two gender nonconforming actors to ever win a Tony. They got theirs for their show-stopping performance as Lulu in the hit new musical Shucked. They walk Laverne through their rise to the Broadway stage, their unusual anatomy which plays a big role in their incredible voice, what’s next on their calendar, and most importantly, the crucial role The Fresh Prince of Bel Air had in their life.
ALEX NEWELL 2023 TONY AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TRANSCRIPT:
“ I'm not going to hold y'all because it's hot in here. I have wanted this my entire life. I thank each and every one of you in this room right now. And mommy, I love you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for teaching me what strength is. To my entire building and cast and crew of Shucked, you are my rock. I love you all. Thank you for seeing me, Broadway. I should not be up here as a queer, non binary, fat, black, little baby from Massachusetts. To anyone that thinks that they can't do it, I'm going to look you dead in your face that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to.”

Special guest Cory Woodroof joins the show for a bonus review of 80 for Brady, a new senior comedy produced by Tom Brady that is all about...Tom Brady! Taking a step back in time to the 2017 Super Bowl, when Brady was still with the New England Patriots, 80 for Brady is more than just a vanity project. It's a vanity project from Paramount Pictures! The film stars Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field, along with Billy Porter, Rob Corddry, Alex Moffat, and (you guessed it) Guy Fieri.

Billy Porter has been blazing trails his entire career — from his Tony Award-winning performance in “Kinky Boots” to his starring role in FX’s “Pose” and his daring, gender-bending red carpet fashion. In the season two finale, Isha and Billy talk about his journey from the church choir to the heights of television and Broadway success. Billy opens up about the homophobia he experienced in his church community and the indignities he experienced early in his theater career as a gay Black man. Billy also talks about his decision to reveal his HIV diagnosis after years of keeping it a secret from the public. And, of course, he and Isha talk politics — from Billy’s anger about current threats to LBTQ+ civil rights to how we can remain hopeful for the future.

Rosie O’Donnell is a beloved comedian, celebrated actress, and talk show legend. Despite all these professional accolades, it is perhaps her generosity of spirit, her tireless advocacy on behalf of children and families, and her heartfelt commitment to the health of the American theater that most definitively define her impact on popular culture.
Born in Commack, New York on March 21, 1962, Rosie O’Donnell embarked on a career as a standup comedian right out of high school, and in short order found herself enjoying a five show winning streak on the iconic television series, “Star Search” Shortly thereafter, she scored additional major appearances on television, including a regular role as Maggie O’Brien on NBC’s popular sitcom, “Gimme a Break” and a high profile run as a VH1 VJ
In 1992, Rosie was cast alongside Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Geena Davis in the smash hit “A League of Their Own.” She went on to further success on the big screen, starring in twelve films between 1992 and 1996, including 1993’s “Sleepless in Seattle,” 1995’s “Now and Then,”and 1996’s “Beautiful Girls.”
Her most monumental break came by accepting NBC’s offer to host a variety daytime television show, “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” in 1996. Rosie’s innate love of all things show business and her easy rapport with the celebrities she had grown up idolizing translated into a unique and hugely popular TV phenomenon. “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” ran for six seasons and went on to win a variety of Emmy awards, leaving a memorable mark on American television before ending production in 2002.
In the past 20 years, Rosie’s dedication to her artistic endeavors and charitable interests have continued unabated. She has been a regular fixture on television, on Broadway, and, in recent years, has gotten rave reviews for her powerful performances in Showtime’s “SMILF” and HBO’s “I Know This Much is True.” She can currently be seen in the Showtime original series, “American Gigolo.”

Within 10 minutes of watching this film I could quote it by heart. It has been at least 10 years since I've seen it and it still has the same effect all these years later. What a refreshing film filled with heartwarming friendships, broken hearts, and one of the best ensemble casts!

Lee Walter is a familiar face in both the Dallas LGBTQ and theatre communities as one of the top actors, vocalist and artists in both scenes. Since 2004, she’s performed drag under the name Jada Pinkett Fox at clubs around North Texas, including the world renown Rose Room, the Statler Hilton, Rainbow Lounge, and both Alexandre's and Woody's. Lee was named Best Local Dramatic Actor/Actress of the Year in 2019 by the Dallas Voice, most recently appearing as Audra in Little Shop of Horrors.
In Need to Know, Billy Porter's memoir, "Unprotected" is reviewed; Bianca wants to know who's "Dr. McDreamy," while Isaiah would have preferred better pacing in the book's second half. Both co-hosts reminisce about Billy Porter's extraordinary career -- from 'Star Search" to "Kinky Boots" to "POSE." In All the Feels, Bianca and Isaiah contemplate how they would approach writing their own memoirs and what topics they would consider leaving out. In Gotta Do, Bianca shares tips on selecting the best mentor.
