I chatted with Loni Love about her hit talk show “The Real.”

 


Q: For people out there who haven’t seen the show, what is “The Real?”

“The Real” is hosted by four outspoken, diverse women and we aren’t afraid to speak our minds. We keep it “REAL!” We do all sorts of things during the hour – from interviews with celebrities like Tyler Perry, Debbie Allen, Kevin Hart, and many others to fun games involving our studio audience and fans at home. We appreciate our fans so much and love to give away cash and prizes to those who truly are in need. The show is different every day and it makes it fun to go to work!

Q: If there was one guest you could bring on the show and interview, who would it be and why?

The one guest I’d personally bring on the show is Idris Elba – every day, all day! He’s so fine! But on a serious note, I’d LOVE to have President Barack Obama as a guest. We’ve been to the White House a couple of times and have interviewed the First Lady, but now it’s time they come to our house!

Q: What is your favorite part of working on “The Real?”

My favorite part of working on “The Real” is working with these three amazing ladies – Adrienne, Jeannie and Tamera. We enjoy each other so much and really do hangout together outside of work. I love our whole crew. We’re like a family and it’s the people and energy I love the most.

Q: Do you have a favorite segment on the show, or guest?

My favorite segments are when we get the chance to help those in need. For the first four weeks of this season, we had “The Real’s Fan Cash-Tic Giveaway” where we gave $10,000 a week to someone who was very deserving. One of the recipients was a hurricane survivor, one was a single mother and another was a cancer survivor.

Q: How hard is to balance your personal life with your professional life?

Because I’m a comic, I do my tour dates on days I’m not working on “The Real” and try to fit in a movie or another project here or there. Because I love what I do, it doesn’t feel like work. I see my friends and my family when I can and I just enjoy life.

Q: Describe each of your co-hosts in one (different) word

Adrienne: Honest

Tamera: Wise

Jeannie: Effervescent

Q: What can we expect this season on “The Real?”

This season on “The Real” are bigger and better giveaways. Starting this week, (week of 10/24, we are doing a “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” week where the ladies – Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore & Phaedra Parks each join us at the table. We’ve got other amazing guests coming up like Kristen Bell, Damon Wayans and we’ll be playing our biggest game we debuted this season – “The Real Claw” – a human version of the popular claw arcade game back. And, we’ll continue to reunite people and do makeovers and give away prizes and money to people who really are in need!
