00:00Hear ye, hear ye. I would like to say a few words.
00:06And everything.
00:09Mad TV actress Erica Ashe has died. She was 46 years old.
00:14Thank you Hollywood. My house thanks you, my light bill thanks you, my water bill, my grocery bill, my going out bill.
00:22All of that thanks you for figuring it out.
00:26Erica's close friend Lonnie Love confirmed the star's death with a tribute on Instagram.
00:31Writing in part, Erica was talented and hilarious.
00:35She would put her all into her work. She would always just be there.
00:39Now she's gone. My sincere condolences to her family and fans.
00:43Us coming together and supporting one another and honoring each other which is really important
00:48because you know with all the strides that we've made thus far,
00:52part of it has happened because we've continued to support each other through the times that we were not recognized outside.
00:58BET, the network behind Erica's parody series Real Husbands of Hollywood,
01:02also honored her memory, calling her equal parts witty and funny.
01:07I don't know anything about that, but what I do know is right behind you is a beautiful house.
01:11I like your house. Kevin, when did you get it? I thought you were broke.
01:14It's unclear when Erica died. Her cause of death has also not yet been revealed.
01:19Her most recent post on Instagram was nearly eight months ago in January.
01:24I am one of the new cast members of MADtv and I remember the day that I got the call.
01:31Everybody was so happy for me. Now I'm here at MADtv and what I think I can bring to this cast is positivity, great energy.
01:41Erica's best known for her roles on MADtv, joining the cast in 2008.
01:46I just knew I could not let this disjustice prevail. So I said, no, that is not civil and that is not right.
01:56Thank you. That's that's the reaction that I wanted.
02:00She later went on to star in Survivor's Remorse.
02:03How do you know you can trust it with this information? It's called believing in people.
02:07Dear God. Baby brother cam. Your typical Survivor's Remorse, politically incorrect, dark comedy.
02:14Erica played Kevin Hart's wife on BET's Bravo satire, Real Husbands of Hollywood.
02:19There's someone else that is joining the show. This is Bridget. I don't want to hold your hand.
02:25I feel like the name is self-explicatory. My name is Bridget Hart. Thus and therefore, I am the first wife.
02:33I'm really excited, especially when awards season start coming around.
02:37I'm just really excited to continue working and to be in this season and be around this energy.
02:43I'm so excited whenever the awards season starts and I just like to see all the different fashion
02:48and everyone's idea of what's hot and what's not. So happy to be part of it.
