I'm a gay black man born in the early 60's. Having seen and lived through homophobia and racism, I'm so proud when I see young men like Sampson and August living out loud. Thanks for all you do to lift us up Sampson!
He is sooo laid back and chill. It didn't even seem like an interview...seem like yall were just. holding a conversation. Once again great job...love the energy
Kudos to J. August Richards for his honesty and bravery. His willingness to share his story will help younger people who are struggling with their identity. Thank you Sampson for this platform. Love you friend.
What a wonderful conversation, young black men do you... so proud to witness those making a difference, representation definitely matter! Sampson, you and this platform you're creating ROCK!!! 🥰
Angel was and still is one of my all time top 5 favorite shows and I remember when they brought in his character. Oh the excitement! He brought the perfect balance to the series and was such a natural. I'd love to see him in more supernatural based series.
You know how when you're a kid and an adult does something Grown...now in theory you know this is a thing, but like realizing it in the moment is always different. Some of this verbiage is really hitting me like...oh, J August Richards is really a Grown Ass Man out here!
Great interview. Thank you Sampson for this interview and the many that you bring to your audience. It is great to see expressions of myself. You are appreciated.
I am 100% down with J August I 100% admire Sampson McCormick. And let me put it out into the universe again can we get an HBO comedy special for this brother!
I first saw J. August Richards's art in the 1990s when he played on the tv series, 'Angel'. I've enjoyed his performances in so many productions since then. Regarding your interview with this talented young man, Sampson, once again you show how inviting, yet incisive your interviews are, all without the sense of sensationalism. I love how the conversation embraces the core of our tofauti (lgbtq) community, and that is our history and culture of blackness. I also love what Mr. Richards says about love and relationships. KUDOS, GUYS!!!
WTF!!!! Talking about welcome to the late show. I'm just finding out J August is gay. This man is so sexy and a talented actor. This interview inspired me and I wish J August continued success and will always continue to dream of meeting him. 🖤💪🏾🖤
I've never seen or heard of J. August Richards before now. How'd that happen, lol. But anyway I thoroughly enjoyed what he had to say. I don't know if I'd want to know him in real life but I appreciate his outlook and his wisdom. Thanks for this one.

Why do gay people say partner and straight people say husband/ wife or girlfriend/boyfriend
He's my BOYFRIEND IN MY HEAD.
