Wow, Tyler, this is real talk about Whitney. That Soul Train booing cut her to the core, and she spent the rest of her life trying to prove things. We got to look out for our own and give them their flowers while we can.

It's an award show tho ...if u singing badly ofcoarse the audience gon boo it wusnt nothing malicious or personal

Tyler is the type of guest Kevin needs. Tyler has a strong presence that helps where Kevin is lacking.

[@jfraz1992]

Lacking in terms of what

[@Villlxn]

@@jfraz1992 she’s saying Kevin hart doesn’t have a strong presence but she’s either mentally I’ll or low intelligence considering he commands attention in every room he walks in

[@thirtyyearcosmetologist]

@@jfraz1992 I don’t think Interviewing is Kevin’s strength. He needs more experience. He’s hyped up on some of the interviews and talks over his guest. Tyler takes the wheel in this case and doesn’t leave much room for Kevin’s bumpy interview style.

[@monicahere8892]

I wish I had realized this when I needed to. I took it personally. It weighed me down too much and I couldn't handle it anymore.

[@jermaincooper26]

...but Tyler made jokes (plays, movies, and tv shows) about Whitney when she was alive. So, this statement is a bit hypocritical.

[@Fudge_Fantasy]

No one was talking about Tyler. Except for how he portraits us in his movies ALWAYS ALways dysfunctional.

[@michael50694]

Exactly he has to be able to take constructive criticism in order to grow.

[@kathystuvaints9698]

Fudge Fantasy, you obviously have never seen any of Tyler's earlier interviews where he explains why his plays, and then movies had the "dysfunctional" folks in his plays. He explained when he was first starting out, when he didn't have any money, those were the people who supported his plays. Those were the people who could relate to the characters in his plays, because a lot of them were living those stories. Noticed how he told Kevin how he kept his eyes on his desired destination, and didn't listen to the people who were putting his plays, and movies down. And look where it's taken him by not getting distracted by the folks that were putting him down! Not everyone is capable of ignoring the haters, and naysayers. From the looks of it, you probably wouldn't of been able to not get sidetracked by your haters. I know I probably wouldn't have either! And Whitney wasn't able to do it either!
