The Last Black Unicorn

(Ann) #1

Perry. He saw my “I Married a Black Woman” sketch, and
he had me come in and audition. ͳen he hired me for a
show. ͳat led to me getting ͷe Carmichael Show. From
there, I booked movies like Keanu and Girls Trip.
I know it came from me and my hard work, but still,
Arsenio Hall gave me a platform to be able to be seen being
me. And I’m so grateful to him for that. ͳat was pretty
huge.
Oh, and it gets better!
We went to dinner!
We went to a late dinner, and I thought this was it. I
thought this was going to be my chance. I was single right
then. He was single right then. I know he old enough to be
my dad, but I don’t care. I’ll help him raise his son. I’ll give
him a full black baby. He was saying how he was a foodie,
and hey, I like to eat food, too.
It was a really, really great dinner, and we laughed and
had an amazing time. I thought I was going to get a kiss. I
thought I was going to come up on something. But no. He
just said, “Let’s go out to eat again.”
I was not aggressive with him, because I was trying not
to be thirsty, like I was in high school and still am
sometimes. It was real hard for me not to just blurt out:
“What’s up with that dick, Arsenio?”
I wanted to, but I didn’t. I didn’t. I just told him he had
very nice hands and that I loved his mngers. ͳat’s all I said.
I didn’t get too thirsty on him, though. But I sure wanted to.
