The iconic Queen Latifah sits down with Tamron Hall to dish on her starring role in the CBS series, “The Equalizer.” She opens up about the show, in which she also serves as an executive producer, and how the series is connected in spirit to the Denzel Washington-led feature films. She also gives us a scoop on the “Girls Trip” sequel that’s music to our ears. The follow-up to the 2017 film may be on the way even quicker than we imagined.

Queen Latifah is a badass! Everything she touches turns to gold. Keep bringing it Queen! Black Reign..1993

[@ritabarber4310]

Great show and Latifah does a great job in it.

Equalizer is such a good show!! Thanks Queen!!

[@angelb1120]

I can see Queen doing a movie about Pearl Bailey

[@trachelcumbo6613]

I'm a fan of her art since Unity and Ladies first. Proud of her!👍🙏

[@rosettascott8549]

I absolutely love her She is so warm and down to earth. The show is Awesome with great scripts every week👍

[@katrisalarry38]

Great Show! Love her hair and makeup on the show and outfits....just a great show!

[@ByteMwen]

her hair on the show is just gorgeous!

[@shawnlarebrinkley5146]

OMG! Phyliss Hyman and Pearl Bailey..Absolutely Tamron. Absolutely brilliant!!

[@leebutler926]

I could see her acting in the Pearl Bailey movie but having someone else to play Phyllis Hyman sorry I don't see her as playing Phyllis Hyman , get someone else to a portray her. But can produce and directed and get it started.

[@AlmondJoie]

@@leebutler926 I'm pretty sure Tamron meant for Queen's production company to bring Phyllis's story to life. I loved Phyllis and saw her in concert. To this very day, _nobody_ has Phyllis's sound or look. She was truly in a class all by herself. She was 6 ft tall and was such a beautifully complex woman. It would probably take an unknown to portray her.

[@Kindred04]

@@AlmondJoie - Exactly! I was just saying that I don't know anybody at this moment who could really do Phyllis justice on screen. Talk about an absolutely amazing soul who left us way too soon. She was immensely beautiful inside and out. And that woman's voice!! It's a shame that she didn't receive the recognition she deserved.

[@AlmondJoie]

@@Kindred04 Right?! If only Phyllis had been able to run her music career her way, perhaps she would've achieved even greater success and would still be here. Hard to believe she'd be 72 this year!

[@FCLaney]

@@leebutler926 Pearl Bailey was darker toned and musically I can’t hear Queen as her, physically she could be made up to look just like Phyllis Hyman and I’m sure she could give a nice rendition of Living All Alone🤷🏾‍♂️

[@carolynlevy3786]

I love her role in the Equalizer. I also would not mind seeing her do the Phyllis Hyman story. I have always been a fan of Queen Latifah.

[@mommolette3607]

I LOVE that show! Awesome story line, awesome action . I'm here for a Phyllis Hyman biopic with queen Latifah for sure!

[@tiffanyc8307]

Love her she is everything

[@preacher_chick]

The is my Sunday show after church and with the family quite entertaining, wishing the show Great Success‼️

[@itsvictoriaytfrazier1906]

same for me!

[@tonitamcgowan-bailey8997]

Agreed!!!!

[@mauritaedwards9707]

I don't feel like QUEEN is even acting on THE EQUALIZER... The part was written for her... I feel like she shows up and just does her THING!!! She makes it look just as an extension of herself. She has made me want to go out and learn to ride a MOTORCYCLE... I have the gun and self defense thing down... the MOTORCYCLE just adds so much sexy BAD A**... WOW...Beautiful, Super Intelligent, to the core her true self ❤

[@moniquehunt4475]

She is such a Badass. All hail the Queen Equalizer.
