The Weirdest Thing Tyler Perry Has Seen in Wyoming

Tyler Perry has a home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and he revealed to Ellen the weirdest thing he's ever seen in the small town. Plus, the producer/director/actor talked about Kerry Washington getting in his way at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, how he celebrated his 50th birthday, and why the location of his Atlanta studio holds a special place in his heart.

I love Ellen because she creates such a relaxed environment where people can just joke and have fun. Her show is so heartwarming.

[@bubujooestes1499]

Doesn't he have a girlfriend and son.They didn't discuss them.Was that fake news???

[@tiffanydaniel1270]

Never been to Jackson, which to Wyoming residents isn't really considered "Wyoming" anyways - so not sure about that part of the state. But born and raised in Wyoming - been here 33 years and there are a lot of black people - and people of all Nationalities.

[@tiffanydaniel1270]

Not as much as higher populated areas of course, but depending on where you're at, there's a lot of diversity in the state these days which is great
