I started watching Scandal because I was a Columbus Short fan…this conversation was incredible! Love to see the healing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@bmoore6175]

Thank you for bringing Columbus to the podcast! This was sooo good

[@allgoodwoods219]

Harrison Wright was definitely the best dressed black man on TV until 2014.
Columbus is a great actor and he was great on Scandal. I’m an original gladiator and “Gladiator in a Suit” was a real thing because of Columbus!

[@classassignment3643]

Wow! A special episode indeed. This was sooo incredibly SPECIAL. Thank you for this episode. And thank you, Columbus, for your openness and willingness to dive into such a tough and painful reality of what shifted this show, but more importantly, your life and impacted your cast & crew. There is so much people can learn for this story and all 3 of yall's approach to addressing it. Thank you.
