Building a Media Empire with Tyler Perry

Baby, This is Keke Palmer

Ever wondered what it takes to build a multi-billion dollar media empire from scratch? This week we’re sitting down with one of the most prolific filmmakers of our time – Tyler Perry – to talk about how he did just that. From his humble beginnings on the Chitlin' Circuit to the blockbuster Madea films, Tyler recalls a journey fueled by relentless drive and boundless empathy. He also shares advice on everything from lifting loved ones out of dark places to taking ownership of your creative work. Then we play a new game made JUST for Tyler – it’s called, “Baby, This Is Mabel Earlene Simmons!”
