platform of what charities, what are you doing to support people? What are some things you do when you’re not in from of the screen? I wanted to go that route but like they said, we basically need to keep it a family show and to keep it clean. We did have to do some re-editing for one of my guest. I think that’s what makes it unique, we are not like any other show. We have to take ownership of who we are presenting this to, especially the young ones. That can be a challenge sometimes and I don’t think people expect that sometimes.

Jeff: Going back to where we met Gail, I told Gail that you are in the spirit of and might as well be the next Oprah because of the way you conduct and project yourself. You entire spectrum and vision of what your want for people around you and it speaks accolades of this woman and the class and I think class is the first thing that comes to my mind when people talk to me about Gail. I think the biggest challenge that we’ve had aside from just fixing the technical stuff, I think it’s just finding out who’s who because when you reach a level where people want to get something first and it’s not about sharing the experience or trying to help each other, dog eat dog comes out very quickly the higher up you go. It’s been the toughest part for me just trying to keep what’s real and not get to far ahead and just put one foot in front of the other and continue to progress. I think that’s the biggest challenge. We’ve learned a lot from each other along the way and it works and it’s been a lot of fun at the same time.

Gail: Jeff is refreshing. In my experience in being in media, Jeff is so humble, he is so helpful and he’s knowledgeable. Jeff is so conversational and he knows all of the ends and outs. We also have out feature segments with Lisa Moreno, who does Keeping it Real and she does, she keeps it real about real topics, real subjects that are bothering society and giving that platform of truth and we have "FIT N'FABULOUS" with Fitness Trainer & Swimsuit Competitor, Marjan Zaun and . They come on once a month as a hit feature segment. We started them last year when we were still on PTV

Network. They play a dynamic role and I want to elevate them up because if I didn’t have Jeff, if I didn’t have Lisa and Marjean , you can never do it on your own and I am never blind about that. Most of all I am blessed by God because I’ve been praying about having something like this and I think together we’re like clockwork.

Fuzionz: Enlighten the readers on some of the guests you’ve had in the studio.

Gail: As of late, we’ve just had the director and producer of a new film called A Place in Hell and the reason I did it is because it is inspired by a true story that happened in Philadelphia. They were very humble. It was Ed Cuff and David Boorboor. They came

Gail: As of late, we’ve just had the director and producer of a new film called A Place in Hell and the reason I did it is because it is inspired by a true story that happened in Philadelphia. They were very humble. It was Ed Cuff and David Boorboor. They came on to talk about the movie and then they had Ubie Brakes relative, who is an incredible actress. It was just invigorating talking to her and how she had to get herself in training for the role and also actor Louis Smith from Django. Prior, we had Rae Dawn Chong to come in and the humbling thing for me is that Rae and I had spoken on skype the night before she came on and she has a really good view of life. She told me that my show was the first show she had come on after that whole Oprah Winfrey ordeal and I didn’t go there with her during the interview. I don’t want to go into the negatives and I don’t want to change people’s minds, but I just wanted to elevate Rae Dawn Chong because I’ve personally been a fan. We also had Derrick Hammond who is the producer of 20/20 Vision. He is the cousin of Will Smith. He came on my first show of Entertainment Now and he also had a music creator to do my TV show theme.

Jeff: We’ve had Ann Cusak, Earnest Thompson, Diana Lavelle, and Richard Lawson from Poltergeist. We also like to promote local artists. And a singer, Ross, was on the show; he sang a song and Gail was so touch by it.

Gail: Jeff is like a Caucasian version of my older brother.

Jeff: Ironically Gail’s father and I share the same birthday and my grandfather.

Gail: And Rae Dawn Chong shares the same birthday, as well.
