Summary

Jenifer Lewis steps Behind The Rope. Living Legend, Icon, Actress of Film, TV and Stage, Singer, Author and so very much more. Fresh off her Masked Singer elimination, Jenifer is here to talk about what is was like to don the Miss Cleocatra mask in her first return to the industry performance since her near death fall in the Serengeti nearly two years ago. Jenifer also discusses many highlights in her unbelievable career that most can only dream of - The Fresh Prince, singing backup for Bette Midler when first starting out in NYC in the 70s and 80s, an iconic guest role on Friends opposite Courtney Cox, and last, but certainly not least, her eight year long run on the award winning blockbuster Blackish as the outspoken, lovable, scene stealing Ruby Johnson. We talk reboots, Will Smith, Anthony Anderson, the fall and everything and anything in between. @jeniferlewisforreal @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROLON - prolonlife.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off Their Five Day Nutrition Program) AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84) MIRACLE MADE - trymiracle.com/VELVET (Save Over 40% and If You Use Code VELVET At Checkout You’ll Get 3 Free Towels & Save An Extra 20%) 310 NUTRITION - 310nutrition.com (50% Off Up To $100 w/ Code Velvetrope on the Best Hydration, All-in-One Shakes & Refreshing Lemonade Mixes) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
