  1. Boundaries, Baby Oil, and Brutal Honesty with Moniece Slaughter

    Boundaries, Baby Oil, and Brutal Honesty with Moniece Slaughter

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, the Turquoise Table gets messy, reflective, and just a little bit reckless when songwriter and reality star Moniece Slaughter pulls up with her Spades partner, stand-up comedian Kaneisha Buss — and the Backyard Boogie immediately goes left. Moniece wastes no time getting real. She talks about almost getting cancelled, what being celibate has taught her about herself (and everybody else), and her complicated feelings about living part of her life on reality TV. She opens up about cutting off fake friends, protecting her peace, and draws a very clear line in the sand when it comes to one specific dealbreaker: a hairless man covered in baby oil. Hard no. Absolutely not. Across the table, Seattle brawler Kaneisha is in pure table-talk mode. She shares her deep love for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, talks about why she doesn't believe in therapy, breaks down why it’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean, and describes why she is an out and proud dead beat mother. It’s funny, it’s uncomfortably honest, and everybody’s standing ten toes down.

    Reading the Table, Not the Comments with Dulcé Sloan and Malcolm Barrett

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, the Turquoise Table gets real opinionated when comedian Dulcé Sloan pulls up to the Backyard Boogie — confident, clear, and not here for internet strangers. Right away, Dulcé is talking her talk. She breaks down why she loves herself too much to read the comments, why she’s holding out for a husband who’s equally yoked, and what really happens when a comic is bombing onstage (she has no chill and even less sympathy). She also reminds the table that she already made it crystal clear on New Year’s Eve with Don Lemon: she is officially dating no more broke dudes. Period. Her partner, The Boys actor Malcolm Barrett, keeps the table laughing with some painfully real Hollywood talk — the pros and cons of having the longest résumé of someone who’s not currently in a leading role, plus he and Nick take a trip down memory lane about working together on a show that was filmed in a wildly questionable warehouse…where an adult film was also being shot. Somewhere between the side commentary and the accusations of being raggedy, Dulcé lets us know she’s deep in her K-drama bag and Nick drops a little money game about licensing Korean shows for U.S. audiences. It’s funny, messy, and very on-brand — Jokes told? Innumerable. Lies told? Not a one.

    Two Legends, Zero Filter with Jackée Harry and Kym Whitley

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney barely get a word in as comedy royalty Jackée Harry and Kym Whitley pull up to the Turquoise Table and immediately take over the Backyard Boogie. From the jump, it’s nonstop talk-yo-shhh energy—classic Hollywood stories, unfiltered shade, and the kind of auntie humor you cannot rehearse. Jackée and Kym trade wild memories from Detroit to Def Comedy Jam days, break down how Hollywood really works, and prove why they’ve been legends for decades: fearless, funny, and absolutely ungovernable. The Spades game? Almost secondary. Between eating chitlins with Aretha Franklin, reneging accusations, OG advice from icons like Diahann Carroll, and wagers that spiral completely out of control, this episode turns into a masterclass in Black table talk. It’s loud, it’s legendary, it’s lovingly disrespectful—and it might be the most Black-ass game of Spades we’ve ever played. Pull up… if you can keep up. 🃏🔥 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Miranda’s got some personal assistant horror stories, tells us about her culturally specific nighttime routine, puts the family business out on the street. Everyone gets real about parental discipline. Plus, what is a “Black name” anyway? We’re spilling all the tea! It’s a hilarious trip down memory lane and serious game of Spades.

  5. TS Madison Gets ‘Cozy’ at the Turquoise Table

    TS Madison Gets ‘Cozy’ at the Turquoise Table

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, the Turquoise Table goes technicolor when TS Madison struts in—unfiltered, unbothered, and ready to run the whole Backyard Boogie. From the first card drop, Maddie is giving full “mouth of the South” energy. She’s breaking down her rise from internet legend to Hollywood mainstay, recalling what it really feels like to get that call from Beyoncé (!!), and sharing the OG wisdom she picked up from Mama Ru herself (RuPaul, if ya nasty) — the kind of game that’ll shift your whole hustle if you’re paying attention. But then in comes the curveball: Rodney Chester, Mr. Noah’s Arc royalty, who decides it’s his turn to talk across the board — to everybody. Rodney is giving unsolicited strategy and saying things that probably should’ve stayed in the drafts. TS tries to reel him in… but honestly? It’s too late. The table is fully in cancel-adjacent territory. Meanwhile, TS keeps reminding us what makes her a force — she’s lifting others up every step of the way, pulling the next generation through the door instead of shutting it behind her, and dragging anyone who thinks she’s gonna dial it back to fit in.  The cards? Chile…barely a factor. The chaos? Peak. The shade? USDA prime. The laughs? Unholy. It’s loud, it’s legendary, it’s a LGBTQ+ royalty takeover  — and the Turquoise Table may never recover. Pull up, if your edges can withstand it. 🃏🌈🔥 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Love & Hip-Hop, Longevity, and Reality TV Villains with Kirk and Rasheeda Frost

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney are up against some real competition. IRL partners Kirk and Rasheeda Frost are in the Backyard to lay down some Spades and life knowledge. The Love & Hip-Hop stars break down what it’s like having your life out on Front Street all the time, why you sometimes have to play the villain, and what the secret to their very public 25 years of marriage is. Plus, the crew debates the value of therapy, and Rasheeda gives Courtney some tips on how to find love, because it’s rough out here in these single streets.

    Rotten Tomatoes Snobbery & Senior Citizen Smash Lists with Kelly ‘K Dubb’ Walker

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney welcome Kelly “K Dubb” Walker to the Turquoise Table — and from the jump, he’s letting the chopper sing. K Dubb announces a personal boycott: If your movie doesn’t score 79% or better on Rotten Tomatoes, he will not be seated. Tyler Perry? Tubi? He wishes them well…from a distance. He also drops one of the wildest takes of the season: while most comedians are dodging cancellation, K Dubb is inviting it — just once — so people finally know his name. When the table pivots to “who you riding with in a fight,” K Dubb leaves the rest of HaHa Mafia on read and picks comedian Erica Duchess as his spades partner and tag-team warrior. The vibes morph into a mini group therapy session as Erica shares the grounded, loving advice she gives her boys, while K Dubb admits the wisdom from his mama might be the reason he’s like this today. And speaking of mamas...the conversation swerves into AARP thirst traps, with everyone confessing which Hollywood geriatric they’d like to get some arthritic lovin' from.  And just when he thought he was leaving the Backyard unscathed, Courtney reveals K Dubb's Diddy-adjacent history that takes the table out completely. The jokes get reckless. The truth gets messy. Anybody could catch a stray.

    Nick Cannon on being busy Father's Day, balancing expectations, relationships and work-life with parenting, hustler's mentality to creating entertainment empire, talks Mariah, Will Smith & reaction to Diddy

    "When you see a man fall, don't laugh at him, learn from it." We can learn and sometimes laugh our way through life as long as we do it with respect and humility. Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with media mogul Nick Cannon to talk about his journey through the music, film and TV industries as well as his life behind the scenes with 12 children and a hustle that continues to pay dividends for him. From stand-up comedy sets making $7 an hour with a free dinner to music producer to actor to hosting, Nick Cannon is able to do it all. And on the latest episode of The Pivot, he opens up about his upbringing, his unique mindset, managing expectations and creating a lifestyle of fame and fortune but a life often crafted by headlines as the entertainer navigates his complex personal path with a booming professional journey. Nick has worked for everything that he has today, and he reflects on where that sense of motivation came from, pointing to his unique childhood situation. Always on the move, he talks about early opportunities and the moments that sprung his career forward. He is most known for his juggling of many different professional hats, but he also gives insight on his family life, even swapping jokes about his $10 million testicle insurance policy. Keeping an open mind and having sone laughs with the guys, Nick speaks from the heart and with honesty about his choices to father several children. With 12 children from 6 different mothers, his life off-screen is a testament to his dedication and love for family. Despite the complexities, Nick sheds light on the fulfillment he finds in fatherhood, sharing moments and special ways to make Father's Day unforgettable for each and every one of his kids. With one son passing from a brain tumor at 5 months old to another growing up today with autism, he opens up about supporting each child in the best way he can to give each of his children the best parts of life and put them all in a place to experience their time differently. Sharing insight into his marriage with Mariah Carey and private intricacies of their relationship, Nick doesn't shy away from personal struggles he faced with his dream girl and is able to reflect, pinpointing the painful moment he realized he had to Pivot in order to regain himself. From creating Wild N’ Out to his days on America's Got Talent to now hosting The Masked Singer, Nick has a long list of self-accomplishments on his resume, but amidst the accolades, he remains humble, touching on how he continues to learn daily, especially from comments he made that got him “canceled.” Nick credits Will Smith as being the one person who mentored him and explains the tremendous upside of that relationship while shedding the downside of mounds of pressure put on him as well. Before wrapping, Ryan asks Nick how he handles the sensitive situations around very public Hollywood friendships he had with R Kelly and P Diddy and without hesitation but poise and grace in his tone, Nick addresses the situations directly and how he has explained the recent revelations to his children. New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on YouTube, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

    Selling Out Arenas, the Weight Loss Roller Coaster, and Laughing Through the Pain with Rip Micheals

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, we’ve got a real heavy hitter of the NYC comedy world and a member of the Wild ‘n Out family at the Turquoise Table. Rip Micheals squares up against Nick and Courtney, along with his Spades partner comedian Joe Show, and they’re bringing the trash talk. Rip gives us some game on selling out arenas in NYC, how he learned the comedy business on his own, and why standup is more important than most things in his life. The crew gives Madea her flowers and debates whether she could beat Big Momma. And Rip opens up about his weight, recent health issues, and his love life. But the deep talk isn’t bigger than the smack talk at the bodega. Oh, and if you owe Rip some money, give him a shout! We’re laughing through the tears on this week’s episode of We Playin’ Spades!

    Paternity Tests, Talk Show Wars, and Staying On Par with Maury Povich

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee welcome the legend himself—Maury Povich! The man who turned “You are NOT the father!” into an era-defining moment pulls up to the Turquoise Table to talk legacy, laughter, and lies detected. Maury gets candid about the wild west of daytime talk in the ‘90s, why he walked away from sports journalism as a cub reporter, and how he managed to convince broadcast queen Connie Chung to say yes. Plus, he dishes on his latest chapter—his new podcast On Par with Maury Povich. Joining him at the table is sharp-witted sports journalist Pablo Torre, known for mixing humor, intellect, and chaos in equal measure, and who recently broke the Kawhi Leonard saga. Together, Maury and Pablo turn the tables on Nick—asking the self-proclaimed “father of many” a few paternity questions of their own. It’s old-school media meets new-school mayhem—and when the cards hit the table, will the truth set ‘em free, or will somebody be shamed into running off set?

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, it’s getting reasonably shady at the Turquoise Table because Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby have entered the backyard! The reigning queens of Real Housewives of Potomac pull up ready to talk their talk—and Gizelle wastes no time arguing with Nick about which school is the real HU (Hampton or Howard… let us know in the comments). We get into the Grand Dame’s homecoming (with all due respect to the throne), Ashley gives us a live dissertation on Twerkonomics 101, and the table debates which Housewives franchise shows up to brunch looking… less than grand (we’re just calling a spade a spade, okay?) The shade is light, the laughs are loud, and the bids are locked. Grab your drink, grab your partner — because today? It’s not for the faint of wig.

Aminah testifies about dating herself (yes, solo sessions count), Courtney argues that a good diner date can out-do half these fancy restaurants and Nick lectures them all about raising “soft kids.” And trust, the jokes land harder when everybody’s got history and the shade is coming from inside the house.   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney welcome two Alabama slammers to the Turquoise Table: comedian and Daily Show alum Roy Wood Jr. and actor-director Andre Holland, the creative force behind their new film Love, Brooklyn. Roy and Andre take us back to their Birmingham and Bessemer roots — from Roy debunking the myth that Alabama is all civil rights history and sweet tea — yes, there are gangs — to the teachers who stayed armed with paddles like it was part of the curriculum. The Table dives into bummy fathers, debates masculinity in Black media, and why emotional honesty still feels like a foreign language to half the men they know. Roy breaks down the state of free speech in comedy(and why some folks just aren’t gonna vibe with what you’re saying, no matter how you say it), while Andre recounts the pure chaos and confusion he and the Moonlight cast lived through the night that infamous Oscar card got read. Shuffle up and sip slow — these two are dealing all the wild stories today.
