Ep 93: JAY ELLIS - Working Smarter, Not Harder

In a bonus episode, Jemele is joined by actor Jay Ellis, who plays Lawrence on HBO’s popular comedy Insecure. Jay and Jemele break down the Netflix hit reality show, “Love is Blind.” They discuss why Insecure fans are still arguing about Lawrence and his love interest on Insecure, Issa Rae, and how it led to Jay being slapped in public one time. He also explains why he never expected #LawrenceHive to develop, and the grueling audition process to land the role. Plus, Jay talks about his role in the reboot of Top Gun, and what it was like working with Tom Cruise.
