| 0:00.0 | And we're back with an all new episode of Keep It. |
| 0:15.9 | I'm Louis Fertell. |
| 0:17.1 | I want to say award season is rolling along, but my God, we still have so much time until the Oscars. So I just want to say award season is both postponed and currently happening. You may catch your tales of it. I don't understand. Meanwhile, our guest today is a returne to keep it. And in general, fabulous altogether. Love to hear where he's coming from. And I want to talk about a movie he did in just a second. but first of all, Dwayne Perkins. Welcome back to keep it. Thank you so much. It's been so long. |
| 0:40.5 | You, last timene Perkins, welcome back to keep it. |
| 0:38.9 | Thank you so much. |
| 0:39.5 | It's been so long. |
| 0:40.5 | You, last time you were here, you were talking about your movie, The Blackening. |
| 0:43.4 | And I just have to say about this movie, and I liked The Naked Gun. |
| 0:46.5 | It is funnier than The Naked Gun. |

So like trying to really strike that balance, I think, created kind of like a new lane in a good way. And everybody in it was fabulous. Now, also coming up, you have your dynasty typewriter, One Man Show. |
| 1:27.8 | Tell us about that. |
| 1:28.9 | I have a one man show called how being black and gay made me better than you, and it's about my experience growing up, being black and gay, and how that culminated in me being fantastic and better than everyone. No, okay, let me just say, when you title a special that, I mean, it's like Shark Tank, you have the floor. |
| 1:44.3 | I mean, I want to know point A to point Z. |
| 1:46.5 | Yeah, and I like Shark Tank, you have the floor. |
| 1:46.2 | I mean, I want to know point A to point Z. |
| 1:52.2 | Yeah, and I think from beginning to end, that the show was just truly me being like, look how great I am. |
