THIS JASMINE GUY IS AN ENTIRE VIBE.... She is really apart of the Black Revolution, very underrated. In fact it was interesting to know how the cast was mistreat underrecognized. Such a powerful sitcom for the culture. They were left out of Hollywood, disrespected. I'm not surprised, but glad they were because our most powerful stories and experiences are left out of Hollywood. These shows that our left out are often OUR most PRIZED gift to our communities.

Fun fact…the show was supposed to be based around a white girl first and her experience at an HBCU, played by Meg Ryan before Marisa Tomei.

Jasmine Guy is gorgeously authentic and as real as they come. Debbie Allen is also the real deal. My best friend's daughter had ADHD at age 7 and couldn't sit still. She enrolled her in every kind of sport to try to harness her energy. One Thanksgiving I took her to see a children's musical. All she did was spin and dance and try to jump on the stage. Later I told her mother she should enroll her in dance classes. My friend took her to Ms. Allen's dance academy. Four years later the kid was touring as the lead in The Lion King and under contract with Disney.

A Different World show motivated my four children all to go to college. I wanted my children to experience what they saw on A Different World. Being from NYC and Giuliani was the Mayor who weaponized the police against Black young men, I was determined to show my three sons in particular, that there is a different world. I kept my daughter in the NY university. All my children graduated from college & universities. Thank you Breakfast Club for bringing Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison to your show. I just loved their characters and them as down to earth people in real life. I watched “A Different World “ and was envious of those who experienced Black college life. I was already married at 19 yr old and was having children. So I went to Baruch College at night and then New Brunswick Seminary for my MDiv. Now at 72 yrs old, I’m pushing my grandchildren to A Different World experience. Jasmine is a deep, insightful Black sister. Kadeem is still true to his character Dwane from A Different World .

Dag, can we get an audio commentary of "A Different World", with the behind the scenes thoughts of the actresses and actors!? Seeing this kind of explanation gives sooooooooo much insight to what was really going on during the filming of the show. Much respect to all the cast members and their craft!!

[@theorderofthebees7308]

Kadeem - is equally gracious and the wedding scene and the fact the baby baby please part was improvised. Some of the best work is off the cuff.

[@lawandahenderson9615]

Debbie Allen taught them well❤️. It also warmed my heart when they shed light on Lisa Bonet. So good to hear them to stand up for her and tell the honest truth of what happened on the set of the show. Thank you for giving kadeem and Jasmine their flowers ❤️❤️.

[@MightMouse2174]

I figured it had to be something more than just her getting pregnant

[@niware80]

Thank you for your positive thoughts. Lisa took so much unnecessary heat. If those producers treated her and the rest of the cast right then none of this would she ever went on. Anne Beatts (May she rest in peace) should at least listen to the cast and their opinions. And visit HBCU’s to get an insight on what was going on.

I agree Lawanda Henderson. I love Lisa Bonet.

A Different World, The Cosby Show, Living Single,Martin, Moesha and so many more black television shows gave me so much self love and so much joy! Being able to have representation of me and the ppl I grew up with and also representations of who I could be was so dope to see and I will forever be grateful to have grown up watching these shows❤❤

Don't blame Whites. Brandon Tartikoff was the head of NBC. Fred Silverman was in charge before him, and Warren Littlefield after him. They don't consider themselves White, but you are right, they do like to divide.

Oh this is a historical gem, captured by the right people. I just want to thank you kindly for that bottle of champagne and this unabridged Jasmine Guy. The way she spilled that tea! Siiiiissss....Whitley woulda been afraid of Jasmine Guy! I love every bit of her. Kadeem Hardison has always been this well-spoken, poised man who still delivers. They are a whole comedy act! I loved them on the screen and the way they filled in the holes that we can see that represents the things left unsaid on screen. For everything they endured, we received a cultural gem that has formulated my entire life. I still watch this show every day and to see these two cut up on the Breakfast Club is priceless!

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

Credit to Debbie Allen as well for her huge role in turning A Different World around. Remember it was a spin off The Cosby Show but it definitely is an iconic Black sitcom. It's great to see Jasmine Guy still about as well. You just know she has a lot of stories to tell from the 90s. 90s is probably the best era of literally everything.

[@nellyc1002]

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried but most importantly I’m STILL inspired! I remember being a kid during the Era of Cosby & A Different World 🌎 rushing home 🏡 to watch these 2 shows & while watching thinking 🤔 I’m finally seeing ME on tv 📺 but I’m just not acting. It’s was the most relatable and inspirational time during my youth! Yes I have amazing parents and family, but there was still life happening and this representation mattered.. still does! This Black Excellence pushed me harder in my scholastic studies and gave me different perspectives on life. I’m heartbroken 💔 that todays kids haven’t had this type of grounding but I’m grateful for the reruns! To Everyone involved with this cast, Thank You! You have NO idea what you’ve done for young black boys and girls who grew to be men and women! This type of positivity pushed us to be better, killed the negative noise about what we couldn’t be and showed us what we could! Lastly, it forced us to really deal with life! This representation mattered and forever will! Grateful to see them get their love and flowers 🌸! Admiration Respect and Abundance

I loved this interview being a fan of a Different World! Jasmine and Kadeem relationship on the show was always exciting, sad, and hilarious to watch.

They are so real and down to earth. Other actors from classic shows pretend they don't remember anything from their filming days or episodes because that is industry thing to do. Other actors also pretend they don't watch television either. I never missed a Thursday night when these two were on. It really was "Must see TV."
