Tyler Perry edged out Mogul, Byron Allen, 50 Cent, and others to complete acquisition of BET Media Group, the billionaire film maker. Finalized the deal with Paramount Global which will see him on VH1 and BET Plus streaming services. Now Paramount Global will retain minority ownership of the company. So Tyler Perry basically goes from being homeless in his car to the owner of Black Entertainment Television and VH1. Tyler, according to Earn Your Leisure, is a acclaimed director and producer who will soon take the helm at BET after revolutionizing black entertainment with his popular films, stage plays, and numerous television series. Popular shows like The Have and Have Nots and movies like Medea's Bad Black Woman have become staples in not just black households, but American households. This monumental shift is hoped to boost viewership, empowering narratives that resonate with a diverse audience. Meet the Browns, House of Pain, Sisters, Better or Worse. The list goes on. Let's be clear. In his early days, Tyler Perry, born Emmett Perry Jr., was rejected by Hollywood initially, but he went on to do his stage plays at small churches. Tyler got it out the mud, to be clear, establishing himself as a playwright, actor, screenwriter, and more. Also a producer and director, he's the creator of Mabel Medea Simmons. This is a tough elderly woman, and he also portrays her brother Joe Simmons and nephew Brian Simmons. His most successful scripted series to date is, of course, The Have and Have Nots, which have given Oprah's own network some of its highest ratings. So Tyler Perry, man, is doing very, very big things. He was included in Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2020. In the same year, he was presented with the Governor's Award. He was also inducted into the Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022. Tyler Perry Studios is described as a film production company in Atlanta. This 330 -acre complex is the largest film production studio in the entire United States. He's the first African -American to outright own a major film production studio. Tyler Perry Studios is a notable resource for the ATLs or the robust economy. So he offers young filmmakers and people there in Atlanta, Southwest Georgia, I think it is, jobs. His studio, which sits on about 330 acres, provides jobs and boosts the economy there in Atlanta. We need to be talking about Tyler Perry more. People like Tyler Perry, Byron Allen, they're doing big things in media, and they're giving African -American people a platform to display their talent. I think that's his most important accomplishment. But of course, the fact that he now owns a major stake in BET and VH1, that's going to be a good look. So we are congratulating Tyler Perry here on Convo Over Cigars. I, of course, am your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. I want everyone to have a fantastic Wednesday..

We're buying our own banks, we're becoming our own banks and we're learning from each other.

There's a lot of questions we need to act like don't we doing that 24 hours? What exactly happened? What happened during that 24 hours to make this young man because his life was a young man. This young man take his own life. As far as for what we're seeing, dearest happiness, there is fun times, so doing that 24 hours, where was the darkness? What was so dark and so deep that he decided to take his own life. And like I said in your hard time appearing in y'all and I'm saying it's soup.

"Game changing deal, with one of America's most popular showmen. The starting point really, when we started re crafting BET for the future, was entering to a strategic partnership with Tyler Perry. And that was really the first of a number of key steps that we made to transform BET. And it's worked really well. He's been an amazing partner. It was extraordinary challenging to pull off. Wait, let's talk about that. And this is, I think, a great lesson for everybody. This is something you thought about a long time ago. Yes. And suggested it to the folks at Viacom. Yes. So how many years ago? 2000. Yeah, 2006, 2007 was when we started, we started evangelizing about the merits of BET doing a partnership with Tyler Perry. And the analog that I use is that if you accept that BET is to the black community, what, say, Disney is to children that when Pixar came along, right? We all know it was hugely disruptive to Disney and it really took them off of their game with respect to creating content for kids. Tyler Perry was a similar phenomenon. BET was thriving, he came. He entered the television landscape and his content was transformative, much like Pixar's animated movies were transformative. And BET did exactly what Disney did. We tried to compete with them and what have you. And realized that Tyler was singular in creating a particular type of content that resonated with audiences. And my view was we shouldn't try to out Tyler Tyler. We should partner with Tyler, bring him into the BET ecosystem. Right. We should be with Tyler. We should allow him to thrive in through it, flourish in our ecosystem, and then the rest of BET can do the things that it's really great at. Much like mister Iger did with Pixar, right? Eventually they stop competing. They brought them into the ecosystem. They bought them. We did not buy Tyler. He's not for sale to be clear. Tyler, I said that. So you can partner with Tyler. And we brought him into the ecosystem. And in bringing him in, he has flourished in a way that exceeded all of the success that he had prior. And also BET has flourished. And so it is very much like the Disney Pixar dynamic. But in 2008, we tried to sell it in. Ultimately, we couldn't get by off at the Viacom corporate level because Tyler, it was a big undertaking. And then we came back to it in 2000 17 and we're able to get it done. It's time for to get it done and a little bit more expensive. You know, the trick is if you don't move early and people have extraordinary. People have extraordinary success. You'll have to pay for that. Well, there's one fun nugget to this story because Tyler Perry actually had to what break up with Oprah to do this. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. And I didn't have a relationship with Tyler. So when in 2016, 2017, we've got a green light to go and pursue this. The issue was Tyler was in a deal with Oprah and discovery networks. So the issue was, okay, it's challenging enough we understood he was going to come to the end of his deal and so the view was, can you get him to not renew and come with you? Right. And so you always comfortable competing with other companies. But you really not comfortable competing with Oprah Winfrey. And they're right. And they were great friends. And but long story short, Tyler had a vision for what he could do in partnership with BET and then Viacom now paramount. And he was able to articulate that vision and why he thought it was a unique opportunity to Oprah and she generously understood and said we can still be friends, even if you leave me. So it worked out. Were you a little nervous? I mean, that's risk. It was tremendous risk. It was tremendous risk. And so what we had was extraordinary high conviction. And that conviction was anchored in all of the analysis and research that we've done with respect to really understanding how his content performed relative to other content relative to other price points. And it gave us extraordinary conviction. Now, we had to use a 150% of that conviction to actually get the deal done. And it was understood that if it didn't work, that the consequences would be profound. But because we were so anchored in that conviction, I think it's fair. Without question. There have been key notes. There have been key points where you've had to put your career on the line for these high conviction plays, high risk high conviction plays. And I think to the credit of bob bakish, the CEO of paramount, when we walked in through the logic of it, he said he saw the logic, he said he appreciated that it was a risky undertaking, but that the logic made sense. And he supported the initiative and actually the partnership has over delivered. And it then set us up for the next big idea that we wanted to take. And we said, okay, we've done that one. That one worked. Here's the next big idea. That was Scott mills. He's president and CEO of black entertainment television, better known to many as BET. Check out his full conversation with Carol.

And it's worked really well. He's been an amazing partner. It was extraordinary challenging to pull off. Well, let's talk about that. And this is, I think, a great lesson for everybody. This is something you thought about a long time ago. Yes. And suggested it. To the folks at Viacom. Yes. How many years ago? 2016. Yeah, 2006, 2007 was when we started, we started evangelizing about the merits of BET doing a partnership with Tyler Perry. And the analog that I use is that if you accept that BET is to the black community, what, say, Disney is to children that when Pixar came along, right? We all know it was hugely disruptive to Disney and it really took them off of their game with respect to creating content for kids. Tyler Perry was a similar phenomenon. BET was thriving, he came. He entered the television landscape and his content was transformative, much like Pixar's animated movies were transformative. And BET did exactly what Disney did. We tried to compete with them and what have you. And realized that Tyler was singular in creating a particular type of content that resonated with audiences. And my view was we shouldn't try to out Tyler Tyler. We should partner with Tyler, bring him into the BET ecosystem. Right. We should be with her. We should allow him to thrive in through it, flourish in our ecosystem, and then the rest of BET can do the things that it's really great at. Much like mister Iger did with Pixar, right? And eventually they stopped competing. They brought them into the ecosystem. They bought them. We did not buy Tyler. He's not for sale to be clear. Tyler, I said that. So you can partner with Tyler. And we brought him into the ecosystem. And in bringing him in, he has flourished in a way that exceeded all of the success that he had prior. And also BET has flourished. And so it is very much like the Disney Pixar dynamic. But in 2008, we tried to sell it in. Ultimately, we couldn't get by off at the Viacom corporate level because Tyler, it was a big undertaking. And then we came back to it in 2017 and we're able to get it done. It's time for to get it done and a little bit more expensive. You know, the trick is if you don't move early and people have extraordinary. People have extraordinary success. You'll have to pay for that. Well, there's one fun nugget to this story because Tyler Perry actually had to break up with Oprah to do this. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. And I didn't have a relationship with Tyler. So when in 2016, 2017, we've got a green light to go and pursue this. The issue was Tyler was in a deal with Oprah and discovery networks. So the issue was, okay, it's challenging enough we understood he was going to come to the end of his deal and so the view was, can you get him to not renew and come with you? Right. And so you always comfortable competing with other companies. But you really not comfortable competing with Oprah Winfrey. And they're right. And they were great friends. And but long story short, Tyler had a vision for what he could do in partnership with BET and then Viacom now paramount. And he was able to articulate that vision and why he thought it was a unique opportunity to Oprah and she generously understood and said we can still be friends, even if you leave me. So it worked out. We were nervous. I mean, that's risk. It was tremendous risk. It was tremendous risk. And so what we had was extraordinary high conviction. And that conviction was anchored in all of the analysis and research that we've done with respect to really understanding how his content performed relative to other content relative to other price points. And it gave us extraordinary conviction. Now, we had to use a 150% of that conviction to actually get the deal done. And it was understood that if it didn't work, that the consequences would be profound. But because we were so anchored in that convention. I think it's fair. Without question. There have been no, it's true. There have been key points where you've had to put your career on the line for these high conviction plays, high risk high conviction plays. And I think to the credit of bob bakish, the CEO of paramount, when we walked him through the logic of it, he said he saw the logic. He said he appreciated that it was a risky undertaking, but that the logic made sense. And he supported the initiative and actually the partnership has over delivered. And it then set us up for the next big idea that we wanted to take. And we said, okay, we've done that one that one worked. Here's the next big idea. That was Scott mills.

Harry and Meghan detail royal struggles, from discussions of baby's skin tone to suicidal thoughts
"Oh what an interview. Harry and meghan shocked everyone last night during their explosive. Sit down with oprah winfrey and the royal family may never be the same again. I'm going to try not to yell like crazy. Because i've been screaming all morning ever since i watched this last night. There is so much to discuss. We head to begin our top royals. Melanie bromley to the show. As oh my gosh i. It's almost like we don't even know where to begin. So let's do this before we dive. And let's take a look at the top bombshells of the night who could be given a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark skinned might be when he's born. What here's a conversation with you. With harry about how dark your baby is going to be. Potentially and what that would mean or look like conversation. I'm never going to shy. But at the time the time it was oak ridge. I respect sharks. Can you tell us what the question was. I'm not comfortable with sharing. Is he taking your calls. Now is a lot of work through that. I feel really let down. Because he's been through something similar. I always love him. But there's a lot of the top. I just had that conversation with harry. I don't want to be alive anymore. Yeah it was like these. Are the thoughts. That i'm having in the middle of the night. That are very clear. And i'm scared because this is very real. Did you make kate cry now. So where did that come from. It was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something but she owned it and she apologize and flowers and a note apologizing. There's this invisible. What's what's what's termed or referred to as the invisible contracts behind closed doors between the institution and the tabloids if you as a family member a willing to wine dine and give access to these reporters than you will get better press. I think there's a reason that these tabloids have holiday parties at the palace. Okay now before we get into everything. We need to lease comment. That this part. The palace has not commented on the interview. Okay lots of mixed feelings about this. Where do we start. Let's do this first impressions now first impression. My impression is that this is the most damaging interview that we've ever seen about the royal family if you thought diana's interview in nineteen thousand nine hundred was bad that was just the accusation or talking about infidelity. This is way bigger. Somebody just blew up the role side. Yes who would think oprah tyler. Perry could expose the monarchy. I thought she was ready. She was ready ready. This has been a two year plus experience for them and they finally got to tell their side of the story because as we heard she was silenced. She said she was silence. My was literally. I was just screaming at least with melissa heard it. I was like screaming. I just was in shock. I i thought she was gonna take off the gloves and do a fight but no no no. She had those gloves on. She was like. I don't know this phrase phrases that she dropped every bombshell that she possibly could have and it was one after another we kept saying like. That's the biggest. I mean we were just riveting. This is going to go down in history with all the other ones. I mean we're talking race. We talking family problems. Everything i was like. This is so good. Okay back to you how to do exactly the same. It was so shocking. Every single thing that came out of her mouth and you have to bear in mind. The royal family exists on this idea of mystery. We know a little bit about what's going on behind palace who we don't know everything. What meghan and harry yesterday to people who were in the inner sack who did is that exposed the lot they said. This is no fairytale. this is not what you've ever thought it was. This was awful. It was like being in a

Yeah, but they vote coming out of the Uh, the Atlanta and them or urban areas are really short and in in percentages in counting And those are life. Maybe dams and the other red ones are almost fully counted. So looks like we might have. Wow. That's like, look at you with the predictions. I love this. Who needs that needle thing? But I've got you know, I saw that. Tyler Perry. The mega Julian Air Creative force behind the huge Atlanta studios. You know, he moved all of his studios from Hollywood to Georgia. He Didn't get his absentee ballot and he was gonna vote absentee. It didn't arrive. And so he actually flew to Georgia today to vote. Really? Yeah. Wouldn't it be interesting if Medea Flies to Georgia actually puts a Democrat over the top in a private plane. I imagine I would think so. I mean, First of all, it's covert. So you're taking every edge again. And secondly, he you know, he sits on stacks of $100 bills every night, so I would imagine it's not a big deal to fly private. Well, look and Mark, you're gonna think I'm bs in you, but I'm not Maybe, like if the Democrats run Congress, they have the presidency and they also have the Senate right. They get a clean sweep. That a lot of us are gonna be told what we can and cannot do, right? On baby A little. Let is good. Don't tell you why. The obesity rate. In this country is around 40 to 45%. Right in China, where you can't really do what you want to do. You sort of told what to do. It's around 4% right. You'll see a lot of fat Chinese people walking around. And we've been told. We've been telling people you know, for last 25 years, 30 years, you know there's nothing wrong with being plus size, right? There's nothing wrong. You know, he's perfectly healthy, You know, he's just a little bigger. And then these hospitals, air filled With covert patients who are obese, and they will and they'll tell you know my dance perfectly healthy. I don't know how he caught. I don't know why he has it. And then you see a picture The dad and he's you know, £600. Yeah. So I think we've got it somehow. We've had a lot of freedom to eat. What we want to drink. All we want. Do what? Everyone for their bodies and man did we blow up? You know, everything you said is accurate, except for the fact that some how you view the Democrats is sort of changing that. I mean, a lot of us got fat under democratic administrations when people were eating Justus much fat, if not more under Obama than they were under Donald Trump. I mean, honestly, Tim, I don't see that. Wow, where the Democrats gonna legislate some sort of Healthy eating program. Well, they're the ones they have come up with. You know, the tax on soda go, but I mean well, not that it's not buying. That was we're talking about the mayor of New York City. That one we're talking about, Remember? Look, I'm not saying in a bad way. I'm not gonna lie. Jenna, You're doing a reverse compliment thing. Yeah, I'm saying that that the The Democrats, um are Well are most likely or more likely. To, you know, to tell you what you can and cannot eat. It's only the Hezb art that makes me laugh because they can tell they didn't tell you whatever they want. You can still eat and drink whatever you want. I did that. I understand that fine, but they should get the mission into like eating better And we don't want to. Them. They may try to shame you and that I would not would not argue. But the fact is, they haven't very successfully shamed anyone considering we had the highest obesity rates in the world, E. No, I know, but but I will tell you that. It on big n Most of my friends who are vegan. Are also Democrats. Well, yeah, that is. I guess it is. That's one of those things. That's interesting. I think people get you know that's one of the reasons I don't like to say. I'm making people go. Oh, I see what you're doing Those lefties. It's got nothing to do with that. Actually, that's the only I'm only begin for reasons involving animals, but, uh but I understand that If you're vegan for environmental reasons, something that that you might in the rest of your politics, embracing more progressive agenda, I do get that. I mean, I don't think that's a bad bust. You know what I mean? But I just think that you know, it's like all things trying to evaluate somebody completely with the snapshot of what's on their plate. You know, it's gonna be a little bit. Because you and I we talk about this. I mean, I'm a very tough law and order guy. You know what I mean? So you wouldn't expect that from a super lefty. You know what I mean? That's right. And I also have You know, my left the issues as well. And one of them that get a ton of email on is when I say you know if you're in this country illegally. On.
