Speaker 1: a K Miss pat How you doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me? Well for I said enough
Speaker 1: about you? Or or do conn't say? Some moments back,
Speaker 1: I think you said enough about me. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: let's get started about why stand up? While are your
Speaker 1: stand up comedian? Um? I know I thought I was funny.
Speaker 1: I never wanted to be a stand up comedian. Uh.
Speaker 1: People just in my neighborhood and then my life was like,
Speaker 1: you know, you really should push you should really think
Speaker 1: about being a comedian a trip to the welfare owns
Speaker 1: and it was like, you, you know, we had to
Speaker 1: pick careers. I never forget Bill Clinton was a president
Speaker 1: and that was the first person I voted for. He
Speaker 1: started a welfare of work program. So I was trying
Speaker 1: to get a career. No longer watched the Younger Arrests,
Speaker 1: which pisces me out because I was like, I an't
Speaker 1: gonna make me get a hand on the younger arrests.
Speaker 1: We'll make a long story show a case work. Was like,
Speaker 1: you should really, you know, looking to stand up. You're
Speaker 1: so funny. And I'm like, I know, I want to
Speaker 1: be a nurse. He's like, no, you should be. You
Speaker 1: should looking to stand up. And then I realized I'm
Speaker 1: a convicted felon and nobody was gonna ever give me
Speaker 1: a job as a nurse. I just decided it just started.
Speaker 1: I went to open mic. Uh huh, well, you know
Speaker 1: I'm being a farmer comedian. I guess I can always
Speaker 1: say I'm a comedian. Okay, I've done enough in my
Speaker 1: life from STEPH Comedy Jam to BT Comic view that
Speaker 1: open mic, just walking on that stage the very first
Speaker 1: time because you because like you people told me I
Speaker 1: was funny, and then I had to be convinced by
Speaker 1: my sister and Hunt and my nephew. I would do
Speaker 1: comedy routines in front of them on their in their
Speaker 1: living room, and they said, that's funny, and that's funny.
Speaker 1: You should do that. You do that. How did you
Speaker 1: put together your first five minutes to go on stage? Ms?
Speaker 1: Pat I went to this place that was near my
Speaker 1: house called the pub, and it was just a bunch
Speaker 1: of open Michaels. And I didn't I didn't even know
Speaker 1: you're supposed to put together anything. My literally, my first
Speaker 1: joke was about my brother being a fat cat burgler.
Speaker 1: So I just went and I just went and told
Speaker 1: a story that I was familiar with. And I went
Speaker 1: there and they laughed, and I was like. I went
Speaker 1: home and I told my husband said, guess what, I'm
Speaker 1: a comedian. He's going to work tomorrow. Now. When when
Speaker 1: what year was that? When year was there when you
Speaker 1: walked on stage? I think it was early two thousand,
Speaker 1: two thousand one, something like that. Well, we know, we
Speaker 1: all have dreams. I know. When I started doing stand up,
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy was the talk of the land. Richard Pryor
Speaker 1: was the King of comedy. And then as you see
Speaker 1: the evolved, you know when I managed Steve Harvey and
Speaker 1: two thousand the original Kings of Comedy came out and
Speaker 1: Burnie McK hit the streets, and the hit the street
Speaker 1: and said came became a super Bowl commercial star, and
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey became a radio star, and it was a
Speaker 1: television star at the time on w B. What influences
Speaker 1: did you have this pat the story, Like you said,
Speaker 1: you know, you still a naturally talent person. Did anybody
Speaker 1: influence you as a comedian, an actress or a singer. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about coming Honestly, Um, I thought
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor was just, you know, actor, So I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't really dig into comedy. And when I started
Speaker 1: to open my and people will say, you got these
Speaker 1: crazy stories, and you you remind me of Richard Pryor,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he's an actor, and he was like
Speaker 1: he was a comedient. So I just started to do
Speaker 1: my research and I was like, I am a storyteller.
Speaker 1: So I got heavily into watching Bill Cosby because he's
Speaker 1: a great season's great storyteller. And I got into Richard Pryor,
Speaker 1: and I realized that my stories were more like rich Richard,
Speaker 1: you know, in your face, honestly, honest, and I like
Speaker 1: to put them together the way Bills Cosby because they
Speaker 1: were so great at storyteller. So those two was kind
Speaker 1: of my biggest influence, you know, when I really dug
Speaker 1: into I wanted to be a comedian. Well know, it's
Speaker 1: interesting you say that because, uh, you know, when I
Speaker 1: see your stand up, just it is the storytelling, but
Speaker 1: it's the rawness of Red Fox. Did I see and
Speaker 1: in you? And I see it because of the fact
Speaker 1: that you're just talking, you know what I'm saying that
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, he didn't hear me
Speaker 1: out on this because it's a compliment about you and
Speaker 1: your talents, and it's that there's a filter and I
Speaker 1: don't think you have with Okay, you don't have it.
Speaker 1: She don't have a filter, this woman, I'm talking to
Speaker 1: you right here. If it's if it's if it's in
Speaker 1: front of her head, it's gonna come out of her mouth. Okay.
Speaker 1: And that's a beauty because that's why she's on this show.
Speaker 1: That's why she's a show, and that's why she's successful.
Speaker 1: Stand up comedian. That's why she goes on. Her name
Speaker 1: appears on the billboard and as her shows sell out.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be honest about that. So now Red Fox,
Speaker 1: which was my era growing up, because he was an influence,
Speaker 1: but he was just you know what, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I was influenced by you know, I knew about Bill Cobby.
Speaker 1: I was like over just in awe of Richard Pryor.
Speaker 1: But you when I see Red Fox, I see this
Speaker 1: uncanny ability to stay streeked and then but relatable because
Speaker 1: it's about your personal life. Am I am I hiding
Speaker 1: it right for you, miss pat because you didn't mention
Speaker 1: Red Fox. Oh no, I think I didn't mention Red
Speaker 1: Fox because I didn't fall a lot of this comedy.
Speaker 1: You know, I just know Red Fox were from San Franisan,
Speaker 1: but I know how funny he was. But I was
Speaker 1: able to find a lot more Richard Prior material when
Speaker 1: I first started, and that was made me. I really
Speaker 1: wanted to tell stories I've heard, I've heard Richard, I've
Speaker 1: heard Red Fox before. I mean, it's either either I
Speaker 1: get Richard Vernon met or Red Fox. That's when people
Speaker 1: come up and tell me it's finally here the season
Speaker 1: of celebration. And no matter how you celebrate with family
Speaker 1: and friends, whether you're preparing for Reyes magos or Karamu

Speaker 1: of your mouth, being able to say that and get
Speaker 1: away with it, and then how morality tied to it.
Speaker 1: And I'm just being me, what's the problem. And I
Speaker 1: walked through and said, did she say that? But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying all these things to everybody who's watching and
Speaker 1: listening to this interview. We're talking to the next next
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that, I can't say who
Speaker 1: she is, but I just know right now I'm talking
Speaker 1: to a young lady right now that I'm interviewing on
Speaker 1: money making conversation is not only brilliant, but she's career
Speaker 1: defining in her path and she's authentic and she's original.
Speaker 1: That's who you are, Missy. I'm not closing out. This
Speaker 1: interview might sound like our interview close out. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you. I'm just I just gotta put it out there,
Speaker 1: earl in this conversation with people listening to me because
Speaker 1: they know I tell the truth. You special young lady.
Speaker 1: We talk about Tammy Ray what it was funny because
Speaker 1: this show was created with me at a twenty three
Speaker 1: year old kid who had I was in college at
Speaker 1: the time, never wrote anything but a play that was
Speaker 1: at the Public in New York, and that was my
Speaker 1: third writer. And Lee Dany was like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to this street and find you a writer because I
Speaker 1: really think it's something here. So I said, okay, Lee whatever.
Speaker 1: He found his kid on my birthday, flew me out
Speaker 1: from wherever I was performing there and make a long
Speaker 1: story short, I meet him and we get to talking,
Speaker 1: and you know, we create the pallet of ourselves where
Speaker 1: they say we couldn't do it. And then he get
Speaker 1: a job and he tells me because we were really close.
Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old, and then we called him
Speaker 1: to Dreamer there. He's like, I know who you're gonna
Speaker 1: be your husband, and I know who's gonna be your sister.
Speaker 1: And so he pulled Tammy Roman up in the bonnet
Speaker 1: chronic chronic that she does on Instagram. And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: they're like crazy, She's not gonna be my sister. He
Speaker 1: was like, I'm telling you all are so good, y'all
Speaker 1: like Lucien Elthon and that, and I was like no,
Speaker 1: and so and then and later on I found out
Speaker 1: she was a reality star and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to reality star on the show. I want
Speaker 1: real actors because this is my first acting gig. He's like, no, Pat,
Speaker 1: just listen. So we we we auditioned, we audition and
Speaker 1: I found a girl that I thought I really liked.
Speaker 1: So we she had number one by her name. In
Speaker 1: walked Tammy Roman with the nail's pain. It just just
Speaker 1: looked like this character from Top to Talk and I
Speaker 1: didn't like her. I did not like her. But baby,
Speaker 1: when she walked out of that room and I looked
Speaker 1: at everybody's like that go deniece. She came and she
Speaker 1: stole it. She stole the job. I mean literally, she
Speaker 1: wouldn't hand her anything because, you know, because she had
Speaker 1: a name. Who wasn't trying to get people an Instagram.
Speaker 1: We was trying to get real actors. Or when I
Speaker 1: tell you we're actors and real actress. When I tell you,
Speaker 1: this girl came into that room and stole that job,
Speaker 1: stole that job, and the chemistry that we have on
Speaker 1: set is like unreal. You know, It's like like you
Speaker 1: can the way the way this the way this show
Speaker 1: was cast. You were like, I almost believe this is
Speaker 1: a real family, from the husband to all the kids.
Speaker 1: You know, we we we didn't leave no stone unturned.
Speaker 1: And but she did a wonderful job. And I'm so
Speaker 1: happy that people can see another Tammy because it was
Speaker 1: like she's a natural. I'm like, this girl can egg
Speaker 1: behind and fun. I'm telling you something because I know
Speaker 1: Tammy all the way back to Steve Harvey sitcom on
Speaker 1: w B. That's when I first knew she could act.
Speaker 1: You know, she did. She did a couple of cameos
Speaker 1: on his series way back then. Then she went into
Speaker 1: this reality star role. And so when I started reading
Speaker 1: the credits, I go Tammy Roma and doing the stand
Speaker 1: up doing doing a comedy. And the first scene that
Speaker 1: she comes in and she just lays it out there
Speaker 1: go her timing, and uh, it was, you know, acquired me.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you what that means. They tried
Speaker 1: to acquire me, you know, and y'all look at the show,
Speaker 1: y'all just look at the show, y'all find out what
Speaker 1: that means. That that's a that's sus a temple of
Speaker 1: who she is. She as they say, my mom will
Speaker 1: tell me, she's shiftless she's lazy, she has no aspirations.
Speaker 1: But she got a sister, and the sister got patience
Speaker 1: with her, and the family got patience with her. She
Speaker 1: think she's a know at all. But when you when
Speaker 1: you have a person like that who comes in who
Speaker 1: you you didn't think it was the one, not pat
Speaker 1: you didn't think there was on your show, you know,
Speaker 1: ms Pad. I want the actress and I want people
Speaker 1: I've seen on TV. And it's so funny because when
Speaker 1: I when I listened to this interview, you didn't watch TV,
Speaker 1: you didn't watch movies. You didn't know nothing about the
Speaker 1: history of stand up comedy. Sometimes I figure out, how
Speaker 1: do you make a decision with somebody she can't do
Speaker 1: the job, and you do you know about four or
Speaker 1: five people on your hand, that's all you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm a comedian, but I don't watch reality shows.
Speaker 1: I'm over. I'm an age drug dealer. So I like games,
Speaker 1: the movies, you know, like Knockos the Wire. I watched those, Yeah,
Speaker 1: throw me off the boat. You know, I don't watch
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Okay, so you're knocking, You're knocking
Speaker 1: on reality, So you want knock on Netflix? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: my girl. There, you're my girl right then. See, but
Speaker 1: come on, I like that kind of stuff. Come on
Speaker 1: that Handmads Teler is not drug dealing Handmads tellers. Well,
Speaker 1: it is a place where they cutting off things. I
Speaker 1: mean I was like, I like that. So when she
Speaker 1: came alone, I mean, she just she just fit the bill.
Speaker 1: She really did. And I remember talking to she said,
Speaker 1: you know, people like I know you what you probably
Speaker 1: heard about me. I said, I have never heard anything
Speaker 1: about you, because I didn't even know who you was
Speaker 1: until we started casting. And I said, look, I take
Speaker 1: people for who they are, not for what somebody else say.
Speaker 1: You did. You know what I'm saying, Hey, I don't
Speaker 1: come through to me who you are. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't dislike you for what somebody else dislike you for.
Speaker 1: I get to know people, and I got to know
Speaker 1: and I mean, she is just a wonderful person to
Speaker 1: work with, you know. And one thing about me, I'm real.
Speaker 1: So I sent my cast down and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna worry about no call. She who's first
Speaker 1: on the call, She who's a star, I said, because
Speaker 1: this is all of our show. It takes all of
Speaker 1: us to get this done it. I said, you know,
Speaker 1: the only difference is that they got my name. I'm
Speaker 1: no fool. I know it's my show, I said, but
Speaker 1: I can't do it without you guys. So we all stars,
Speaker 1: and I just broke down that Hollywood bearer from the
Speaker 1: day one. The only difference is all pay checks. Here's
Speaker 1: a here's a funny part about that speech she just
Speaker 1: gave me. She said, you know I need all y'all.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, don't worry about that call sheet,
Speaker 1: but my name on the show. So don't get stupid. Now,
Speaker 1: you get stupid that on that one day, you get
Speaker 1: stupid to forget that. I'm gonna remind you this miss
Speaker 1: patting and I Patricia Wellips straight out the street from
Speaker 1: a drug deal, a convicted fellow. I will show you
Speaker 1: part of reality that you don't want to see about me.
Speaker 1: And that's what the reality this show is bringing all
Speaker 1: these individual girls. I know, I'm just talking about Tammy
Speaker 1: Roman from a stand up comedian, from a from a
Speaker 1: comedic standpoint, how she stood out put your husband and
Speaker 1: he's funny, your young son's funny. Let's talk about that opening.
Speaker 1: And like I said, the show opens you with heard talking,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm not gonna give away the show
Speaker 1: too much, but it did a tram positions into her
Speaker 1: house and it is like going to the plane right
Speaker 1: and right right it is. It's really like I said,
Speaker 1: it's really so slick the way you guys are doing it,
Speaker 1: and it's so entertaining, you know. I was really fascinated about.
Speaker 1: And some of my questions were from a production standpoint.
Speaker 1: Some of my questions were, how much were you involved
Speaker 1: when you with this whole creative cold opening and the
Speaker 1: character set up, and also the scripts? Do you do
Speaker 1: you get to play with Hey, I don't like that
Speaker 1: line that I say that line? Do? They shoot several
Speaker 1: scenes and this is the scene from the script they
Speaker 1: go do your thing scene because a lot of times
Speaker 1: when they have talented comedians like you, they go, hey, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a script, but do your thing on this
Speaker 1: with Misspath. How does that work? Actually we had writers,
Speaker 1: We had writers, honestly, but that was not one script
Speaker 1: that we didn't go back in touch. So you know,
Speaker 1: you can have anybody, you know, mostly writers with this show.
Speaker 1: Is there too to will build a form? Because it's
Speaker 1: such my voice, so I have to touch every strip,
Speaker 1: and and some of them had to be totally rewritch,
Speaker 1: totally rerech so to bother down to and me and
Speaker 1: the co creator, Jordan Cooper wrote every strip. We wrote
Speaker 1: on every strip, so umh, only me and him was
Speaker 1: allowed to change things. You know. Uh. It was never
Speaker 1: like do your thing, because I felt like we wrote
Speaker 1: these strips funny enough to we everybody she made to
Speaker 1: follow the strip. Now, we did make up some stuff
Speaker 1: on the floor and as far as production and all
Speaker 1: of that stuff you see opening that came from this
Speaker 1: twenty three year old he's twenty six now, twenty six
Speaker 1: year old kid out did all that plane opened it
Speaker 1: and the way I do the monologues and the comedy
Speaker 1: of firm, all that stuff came from him. You know.
Speaker 1: We literally wrote each one of those monologue the day
Speaker 1: before I was supposed to shoot it. All the comedy
Speaker 1: in that up front to tell you what the show
Speaker 1: was about, how the show open. A lot of that
Speaker 1: stuff was wrot that the layers meet. No, it wasn't easy. Absolutely. Now, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm fall from progressive. Being a baseball fanetic like me
Speaker 1: can be stressful. It's not all sports points and touchdowns,
Speaker 1: so Progressive is going to help you take your mind
Speaker 1: off your team for a moment. Instead of thinking about
Speaker 1: how they missed that gold points score, think about the
Speaker 1: name your price toool from Progressive letting you choose coverage
Speaker 1: options based on your budget, unlike your team that missed

Speaker 1: So I haven't been outside with people like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's miss Pat. So I've been to the airport. I
Speaker 1: won't know until next week. So I mean I'm getting
Speaker 1: I'm getting noticed a lot more now. But you know,
Speaker 1: I puple been places people don't expect me. Papa, pay
Speaker 1: my my my bagest A line is right there, or

Speaker 1: do it feel like? It feels like I need to

Speaker 1: working so I don't really get caught up in the
Speaker 1: fame and all of that stuff. And I don't need
Speaker 1: you to open the dope for me, and I drive
Speaker 1: myself right now. Uh, It's just worked for me, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that people are starting to notice
Speaker 1: how hard I want to get where I'm at. So
Speaker 1: that's what makes me happy. Just people like, my god,
Speaker 1: I didn't know you was there. So this show was
Speaker 1: really good. It took five years for this show to
Speaker 1: get on TV. What the three networks, three writers on
Speaker 1: a lot of t years. Well that that that's the
Speaker 1: part that I like about you, you know, because of
Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of people see Hollywood, they
Speaker 1: see this sitcoming there. If I don't bring that up
Speaker 1: in my intro and we're talking honestly about it. People say, oh,
Speaker 1: she went it just happened. No, sixteen, she thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. So that was a high for her
Speaker 1: Fox and then and then twenty and theirteen Hulu that
Speaker 1: was another high for her. When you went to b
Speaker 1: T plus, what was your emotion at that point? Were
Speaker 1: you like, whatever, you know, I I see it when
Speaker 1: I see it. And because it went to some more
Speaker 1: advanced steps that made you feel it was going to happen,
Speaker 1: where were you at? And then like I said, I'm
Speaker 1: over here, you know, just Googland and just gushing about
Speaker 1: how brilliant you are and how just I'm in love
Speaker 1: with miss pat and the show on b T plus?
Speaker 1: Where were you at each one of those steps in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twin and the teen and then it when
Speaker 1: when I got there holding deal and we found a writer,
Speaker 1: I was happy. I was, oh my god, I'm finally
Speaker 1: gonna get a show. And things didn't work out, so
Speaker 1: we switched the writer, and then we went to another writer.
Speaker 1: Things didn't work out again, so I started to lose
Speaker 1: comfort there and then I said, you know what, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna happen, it's gonna happen. I'm so happy. I
Speaker 1: had Lee Daniel there to say look, and my friend
Speaker 1: John Ratler wanted the producer to helped found me. He
Speaker 1: was like, it's done. I happened sometime when he's great,
Speaker 1: you just take a longer time. I never get I wanted.
Speaker 1: The producer named Francie told me that, so I said, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, and uh. We ended up getting the writer
Speaker 1: and then we shot. We shoot the pilot and I
Speaker 1: kept telling everybody they're not gonna pick it up. My
Speaker 1: spirit told me Hulu was not gonna pick it up.
Speaker 1: Hulu dropped it and I was like, okay, Hulu, when
Speaker 1: we're going from here. Day was like, I will find
Speaker 1: you home. When BT plus popped up, my first thing was, well,
Speaker 1: what that was bt plum? I never have plus And
Speaker 1: it was like he was picked it up and then
Speaker 1: they're gonna give your guys ten up. So I was like,
Speaker 1: what is that. They was like they just started a
Speaker 1: new streaming service and it's at the time it was
Speaker 1: like maybe a year old, and looking up they only
Speaker 1: got a million subscribers. You kind of you know, it's
Speaker 1: a kind of shift shift in your happen He's like, wow,
Speaker 1: we went from Hulu to hear and so I had
Speaker 1: to tell the co creator. I said, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something about life. I've learned you have to learn
Speaker 1: to mess with people who mess with you. So just
Speaker 1: because you want to be all that with all the
Speaker 1: big fish, maybe this is what we're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And so I remember when I got to meet them
Speaker 1: and things started to get rolling, and I just told him,
Speaker 1: I said, I think that this show is gonna be
Speaker 1: your Handmaids Tells like it was to Hulu, because the
Speaker 1: handmade put Hulu. W That's the only reason why I
Speaker 1: ever subscrive to it. I said, I said, if you,
Speaker 1: if you allow us to do what we wanna do
Speaker 1: and support us, we I think we can be your
Speaker 1: Handmaids Tell. And it lunched and people went crazy. Go see,
