She’s droppin so many gems that y’all don’t have enough hands to pick ‘em up!!!! I love you Cree!!!!! And her timing is sick!

[@kevinlittleton3754]

Love her and I'm sooo appalled with myself that it was registering who she really really registering at first.

[@CookingWithDee_]

Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@lornagreen8961]

Cancerian here!! Couldn't stop watching, now I know why.💜💪🏾💜

[@TheKittyGalore]

Watching Iman realizing all the characters Cree has done is so fun to witness!

[@antoinettebrooks1960]

Cree Summer has the most extensive IMDB character list of anyone I have ever seen! My daughter is autistic and recits cartoons and mimics characters. She can pick up Cree's voice in everything!! 😂 We love you!

[@brandontrammel4581]

Facts her and Tara are goated

[@blind_t2]

how funny. I’m in the disability spectrum myself, totally blind, and normally I know Cree anywhere. I grew up with that voice. she’s like that tv sister. I always wanted to meet her.

[@Regalem3]

I clicked for Cree. She's so well rounded. She's funny, intelligent, poetic, eloquent. He comedic timing is great. She is a joy to listen to.

[@CBW328]

I am an educator and that segment of the interview meant so much to me because we have sacrificed transformational relationships for transactional experiences that lack meaning because they are based in institutional, robotic, assessment-driven days. Thank you for having this be part of the show.

[@King_Mic]

Well said

[@jerryking2194]

Immaculate vocabulary

[@ayannasupreme]

damn! drop the jewels!

[@no_guarantees]

Cree is the type of female you would like to meet more often, unfortunately too many women can't entertain a conversation of depth based on incredible experiences, only material things.

[@fresh_lumpia1696]

She was so deep in thought and words that you can literally see how speechless both gentlemen were. Cree is a national treasure.♥️✨

[@jacobturner4133]

I can't lie. Cree was my girl on A Different World even before the perm in the later episodes. Her voice has always been like Sade comforting to me.

[@HoochieConTV]

I adore Cree!! SHE NEEDS HER OWN PODCAST!

[@blind_t2]

I’d be down. I’ve always said she needs to do some guest spots on somewhere like terrell, by how funny she is, and how the energy matches, and then on fitness plus either time to walk, or, doing a workout with one of the trainers.

[@thabeautiful1]

She should do more interviews, I could sit and listen to her talk all day 😍

[@karlettaspetko5702]

I love watching Imans' vulnerability! Him realizing his childhood gift is sitting across the table from him! Can we also say Gen X wears it WELL!!!

[@marcelmarshall4240]

She is a gem. A reminder of the class and elegance Black women possess when they are in their rightful energetic space.

[@oraclesma4575]

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 I concur...

[@kay2dapee]

Watching Iman geek out was the absolute best part of this interview.

[@dndrwebster]

The fact that Cree has always been Cree is so freakin dope! In A Different World she was playing herself essentially….love her personality and her body of work

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

She was more hilarious in her first season. She’s great.

[@icybluegurl91]

A phenomenal interview. Her words and down to earth aura is enchanting. The witty banter back and forth flowed effortlessly. An intellectually stimulating conversation to say the least. As a fellow Cancerian ♋️, I understood their perspectives very well.

[@sugarlips1nonlyking305]

So am I I understood and felt all of this.

[@DeloneyCunningham]

7/9 Cancerian

[@roberthenderson5119]

It's so crazy that her light has always shined so bright. I've always felt that she was authentically herself and knew who she was. Truly beautiful.

[@TheMkfan123]

This been my crush since the 90s. Y’all interviewing a legend right now 🔥🔥 Edit: most of the world would be shocked like Shump if they knew just how many iconic characters she’s been the voice of lol.

[@remywhite4377]

They just don't know. Cree really is a one of one when it comes to her catalogue and work ethic.

[@tarifalston8732]

Even Elmirafrom Tiny Toons. Lol😂

[@futrpdr]

I don’t appreciate this woman enough. I first saw her on A Different World, but her filmography and list of accolades is insane. Her story is so compelling too. I could listen to her talk forever.

[@jmikeone]

I knew most of Cree's voices, but when I looked up her dad's (Don Franck) IMDB catalog I was shocked at how much he did! He voiced Sabretooth in the X-Men animated series and for the Marvel vs. Capcom games!

[@lorealdrayton6164]

😮😮

[@detroitkaraoke]

Talented family

[@gree_g83]

And don't forget Cree is the voice of Penny and her dad is the voice of Dr. Claw in the Inspector gadget cartoons.

[@imagenise7361]

This was a really great interview. I love Cree she’s so amazing and she is really the blueprint of nepotism baby and I love that for her. She’s just so relatable ❤

[@Lemorgg]

Cree is a TREASURE! I love that y’all had her on the show ❤

Cree Summer is one of the most beautiful souls.

The way she said "peace man" I was instantly put at ease. Her voice is so soothing, she is truly a treasure.

I adore Cree Summer’s talent. She had such an interesting and attractive energy.

[@Lovelyladymellymel]

Cree has such an amazing spirit. Iman's reaction to her characters=priceless. I loved this episode!

[@valenkennedy3879]

I feel so much better knowing that I was named after her. Dope human being

[@thee.amberb]

LOVE HER! Such an underrated artist, but those that know, know! ❤❤❤

[@MrsTerry2001]

This is the best interview I’ve seen. You guys all had great chemistry. I really enjoyed this! 🥰

[@christopherharper9818]

Cree has always been so free to be herself and expressive. I was concerned that her depth would be too much for them, but they found good common ground to share. It feels more like a teacher to students exchange. She's still very high on my crush list ❤️💛💚

[@plantlover7380]

“Her depth would be to much for them “ hardly not ! I got the impression that they all had a connection that enabled them to relate . Interviews are tricky . They were able to bring out her many talents and connect with them . Kudos to the men . I’ve watched their interviews and I’ve related to them quite well . I love Iman .

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Certain things went over their heads, information wise, but they did find that common ground you spoke of. However, when it was silent as she mentioned Frank Zappa I was like whoa....

[@chicagokayb]

The amount of joy in this video is ridiculous! 🥰 The smiles are contagious. 😁

[@ourbreakthroughpodcast9353]

Just when I thought that I couldn’t love her MORE than I already did...A Different World will always be my favorite show in life. ❤

[@coreywebb746]

This is a great interview. It’s real and raw! I appreciate Iman for going into it cold. I think it makes the conversation more genuine. Cree Summer is just an amazing woman. She so interesting and just seems like she’s be a cool friend to smoke and hang out with.

[@dayvonneanderson8784]

Only tuned in for Cree Summer. She is phenomenal. ❤

[@c.miles360xl9]

This was probably one of the most enlightening episodes to date. Definitely saving this one for another listen in the future.

[@Liah7995]

This interview was epic! Inspector Gadget was one of my favorite shows as a youngster. She’s been the voice of many characters on many of my favorite cartoons. I loved her on A Different World which I still watch today. Forever an icon!!! ❤️🌸

[@zahirrahel-amin3251]

Loved every second of this podcast I love Cree Summer 😊😊😂😂

I throughly enjoyed this podcast with Cree Summer. She is so down!! And Iman with the barber scenario… what a AH! HA! Moment. The hairdresser was that for me, sit in the chair & spill your guts, spinned around and there’s a new chick in the mirror!😂 This was my first show and it was everything! Love y’all

[@schellsc]

Oh wow I didn't know Cree was the green M&M! I just stumbled upon this podcast and I am loving it! Especially Iman's reactions lol 👏🏾🤩

[@MoneyMarable]

I loved her as a guest! Definitely wish the host did a little more background just for even more in depth questions. Other than that this episode made me want to follow the podcast for more content

[@angeldrake818]

This is one of the most unhinged episodes and I LOVED every bit of this. You all radiated joy! Watching Iman freak out over her character voices was even more hilarious. Tremendous job to each of you on camera and off❤

[@curiouslymavismade]

I used to watch A Different World all the time, Cree Summers is a beautiful woman, inside and out.

I loved her as Freddie on "A Different World" and love her solo album "Street Fairy!" "Miss Moon" is my favorite on that album! I remember when it was released I was working at Borders, Books & Music in NYC on 57th & Park Avenue in the Music Department! I shelved her music and always played her album when I was on duty! LOL! I will definitely watch more episodes! 👑♥️
