  Diarra Kilpatrick on Creating Diarra From Detroit & Her Wild Journey to Hollywood 03.10.2026 1h 33m

  Diarra Kilpatrick, creator, showrunner, and star of the Paramount+ series ‘Diarra From Detroit,’ sits down with KevOnStage and That Chick Angel for an unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build a television show as a Black woman in Hollywood. Diarra shares her journey from growing up in Section 8 housing in Detroit to attending NYU Tisch during 9/11, to clawing her way through the entertainment industry with no safety net. With a brother who served as mayor of Detroit (Kwame Kilpatrick) and a father whose federal indictment dried up family resources, Diarra had to be relentless just to survive, let alone create her own show. She breaks down the stop-and-start process of getting ‘Diarra From Detroit’ made, the budget realities of independent television, casting legends like Morris Chestnut, Phylicia Rashad, Method Man, Bokeem Woodbine, and Glynn Turman when you cannot afford top-name talent, and the network battles over everything from casting to how she wears her own hair. The conversation also covers why she chose the detective genre to put Black women in spaces they rarely occupy, the mental health toll of being a creator who also has to market her own show, navigating social media negativity, her interracial marriage, and why supporting Black-created content matters now more than ever. With appearances by KevOnStage's disastrous audition tape, Angel getting cut from ‘Churchy’ twice, and a heated debate about skin tones, this episode is equal parts inspiration, industry insider knowledge, and pure comedy.

  Reaction to AWFUL AI Nolan Wells as Takeoff, Caleb Flynn Trial, A Different World 30.09.2026 1h 1m

  In this episode of Here's The Thing, KevOnStage and ThatChickAngel unpack the internet's most unhinged moments. Kevin puts his foot down on people using AI to insert his deceased brother into photos, glowing him up like Bruce Leroy in loafers. They discuss the even more disturbing AI video of Nolan Wells depicted as Migos rapper Takeoff, and why people need to stop playing with the dead. The conversation shifts to the Crip Mac "Kalani Bear, That's My Baby" TikTok takeover that Kevin cannot stop watching. Then they break down the Caleb Flynn murder trial, where a song the former ‘American Idol’ contestant allegedly wrote for his mistress was played in open court. Next up is the Kirk Franklin and GloRilla gospel collaboration that has the saints up in arms, and why this controversy is the exact same one Kirk has faced for 30 years. The hosts dive into the OutKast vs. Ovrkast trademark lawsuit, where a producer admitted on video to getting confused between the names. Melissa Fredericks gets a shoutout for a full Sunday soul food spread on a Monday. The episode closes with a review of the ‘A Different World’ Netflix reboot, a Life360 check on Kevin's son Joe's late night "Bible studies" across Los Angeles County, and a firm message to leave Jasmine Guy alone. #HeresTheThing #KevOnStage #CripMac #KirkFranklin #GloRilla #OutKast #ADifferentWorld #CalebFlynn Sign up right now with promo code KEVONSTAGE.
