00:00What's up Essence.com, this is Demetria Lucas-Doyley, and I'm here with a woman who needs no introduction,
00:10Ms. Kim Whitley.
00:12Hey y'all.
00:13You look amazing.
00:14I like the blonde.
00:15Oh, thank you.
00:16I appreciate that.
00:17I'm trying something different.
00:18It's very cute.
00:19Thank you, I love your hair too.
00:21I'm surprised we got you in studio today, because you're always working.
00:23You're doing 50 million things right now.
00:25You got a film, you got a tour, you got a new TV show.
00:27Yes, a lot of things going on.
00:29Okay, so talk to you about the tour.
00:30God is good.
00:31God is good.
00:32I'm on tour doing a show called He Said, She Said with David Arnold, another comedian,
00:40but it's something people haven't seen before.
00:42It's two comics on stage at the same time.
00:44Okay.
00:45So we give the audience something different.
00:46We talk about current events, we improv, hostess.
00:48We talk about relationships?
00:49Relationships.
00:50Okay.
00:51Oh, he's married, I'm not, I'm cute, he's not.
00:54So it's a lot of things.
00:56He could be calling us now.
00:57But we have a good time.
00:58Okay.
00:59So I'll turn with that.
01:00Awesome.
01:01And then the TV show?
01:02A TV show called Young and Hungry.
01:03It's on Freeform, which used to be ABC Family.
01:06It comes on every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.
01:08We're in our fourth season.
01:09Awesome.
01:10So I'm very excited about that.
01:11How you got two shows on at the same time?
01:13I was actually shooting Raising Whitley and Young and Hungry at the same time.
01:17Oh my gosh.
01:18I would get off the set at Young and Hungry at 4.
01:20I'd go to Hair and Makeup, get out at 6.
01:21We'd shoot until 10, 11 o'clock at night and shoot on Saturday and Sunday.
01:24How were you doing all this in Raising a Child?
01:26Now that was a problem.
01:27So I couldn't do that ever again.
01:28Okay.
01:29That was exhausting.
01:30My true village and people helping, family, friends, nanny.
01:33Okay.
01:34And then you got a new film with Ice Cube?
01:35Yes.
01:36I have a film coming out called Fist Fight with Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan, a bunch of
01:42other people in there.
01:43It's a very funny show, a very funny movie.
01:46It comes out in the fall and I'm just excited about people seeing that.
01:50But I'm going to let you get some rest because you're working all over the place and then
01:55you're partying.
01:56Well, I'm happy to be here.
01:57So this is fantastic.
01:58Awesome to have you.
01:59Thank you so much.
02:00You're beautiful.
02:02So are you.
