I love the friendship outside of the jokes and commentary. Angel & Kev were so excited to get Josh a grill 😂. I can tell you all genuinely love each other and I love that! ❤️

This is why you address things immediately. She should have addressed being insulted with that question IMMEDIATELY. She let it stew and then burst...

You know your show is dope when something happens in entertainment and your fans are searching frantically for your take.😂❤ I’m so excited! Let me get a drink.

Thing is, D.L. wasn't even present when Jasmine asked the "offensive question" and when he was asked never to air it, he didn't air it. We wouldn't know about it, she brought it to light.

Monique doesn't just burn bridges she nukes the ashes.

Here’s the thing: you CANNOT make people accept you!! It doesn’t matter how “decorated” you are. If folks don’t value your content, they don’t value your content. You cannot force it.

"We got dirty rice" "what's that?" "Rice that done been through something" 😂😂😂

as someone who unfortunately works 6 days a week I'm SO glad y'all drop episodes on Wednesdays- my one day off.....I love you guys so much :')

I'm Panamanian, my husband is Jamaican....I take care of Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and baked goods. Every other meal is my husband and he doesn't like ubereats, postmates etc....he is so proud to teach our son to cook.

Renée Goldsberry, a black woman, was the one who re-negotiated the contracts for the entire Hamilton cast and got them what they deserved. Sometimes it's about who's more respected and respectable.

I am a STATE EMPLOYEE handing over those benefits is about the most romantic thing anyone can do! 🤣 Real love is security! 💪🏾

Lol when Angel said “we want to be on your side one day” I felt that.

This is probably the most fair and balanced commentary that I've seen in regards to Monique. Thanks you Angel and Kev for shining light on the entire situation. I feel like people are only focused on the overreaction of Monique but not the legitimacy of many of her claims.

There’s a tradition in my family that whoever buys a new house that year has to host all the holiday over there until someone else buys a house 😂

Rickey Smiley has THE BEST commentary on the DL/Monique issue. Rickey’s position is: as long as the money hasn’t changed, WHO CARES?!?! Love Rickey!! Such a professional.

Monique = Reacted vs DL = Responded There's a difference.

33:00 if you make your life (and your marriage) an open book, you CANNOT expect the public to not have commentary on it and about it. THE END.

I love that Angel found the heart of the matter. Often times, this is what goes down - folks mad about one thing and it triggers a response that shows in a different way.

Angel is on point. A part of black culture is getting roasted instead of taught. I was somebody's teammate in spades. I did not know how to play spades. I now have PTSD and no longer wish to play spades

I have stopped listen to other podcasts because they don't give the back story. You both are so authentic and real and stated the situation without bias.

Morning treadmill walks and talking to the screen in agreement & also disbelief is the highlight of my day 😊

By far, this is the best commentary about the Monique/Hugley situation. She could've been right but people are put off by her delivery.

Til this day I will randomly start singing " don't you know no good no no good" 🤣

Today Mo said DL wasn’t even in the studio when the question was asked. She called him and he said “that’s what we do”. She asked him not to air it and he didn’t. No one knew until she brought it up.

I applaud Monique for speaking her mind continuously. She's going to be judged harder than a DC etc. I appreciate this nuanced discussion.

How you handle things matters more than whether you’re right or wrong. Being right at the wrong time is WRONG!!! That’s all there is to it!

"Hey my sweet babies!" 😂😂😂 I'm with Luenell on this one, this ain't my fight and I'm no longer concerned.

I get so excited whenever you guys upload a new video! Thank you for the consistent content despite all the other projects that ya'll are working on 😊😍

My bonus dad was Jamaican born and taught my mom how to cook his dishes. There were many dishes only he made. Dang I miss him so much!!

Very true of Jamaican culture. My grandfather does majority of the cooking or he and my grandmother will cook together. In addition to finances this is way he takes care of his family.

I have always wanted Monique to win but I also have known that she can be her own worst enemy. I applaud anyone who stands up for themselves but there is a way to do it. The problem seem to be with the promoter. Monique weaponizes feminism and blackness to advance her own personal agenda. She had a issue with Netflix when she didn't get the contract she wanted. She made the issue with DL a black man vs black woman issue. I haven't seen her actually tell any jokes but rather her ranting. I think she is talented but I don't see her getting many opportunities in the future because anyone who deals with her is taking a chance that if there is any disagreement about something she is going to go public with her grievances.

Angel is such a great host for this show, those who been watching since 2018 know what I mean lol. Also, whoever designed the studioa for kevonstage studio is amazing these sets are gorgeous!!!

That was a word!! Part of hosting your program is knowing your guest! Plenty of folks need to here that! And not just knowing random facts about their life, VLAD!🙄

I'm under 30, but I grilled for the first time and effectively retired immediately afterwards too. 😂✌😂 Everything turned out great, but I'm not messing with that fire. 🔥

Thank you for giving the 'fairest' assessment of the DL and Mo'Nique debacle and Mo'Nique's position overall.

So look forward to you guys take on the world every week!

Monique LOVES to tell other Black women how to "have class"...except when it comes to how she carries HERSELF! 😒🙄 (I'm paraphrasing a fellow Stage Krew🎬/Angel Wing 👼🏾that was in the Live Chat cuz I was thinking the EXACT SAME THANG‼️)

Thank you two for being professional with your assessment of this situation. Kev, I truly agree with you regarding how good Monique is at her craft. Hopefully her & DL can squash this.

Im so glad this shows comes on the 1 single day they got me in this damn office. Thanks 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I thought the recipe conversation was leading to a meal prep ad and Angel twisted it to a therapy ad. She is a genius lol

Thank you for explaining what the contract memo is. So many people are saying that it’s not liable in court

The Monique thing, listen I never received the recognition on my job like my counterparts. But you know what? I did my thing and and when negations opened up I had my receipts Undeniable 👍🏾

I still have every season of Martin on DVD. Chilligan’s island and the Halloween episode where they pranked Martin are 2 the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV. Fresh Prince holds a place in our hearts but Martin is just amazing!

Man you gotta love the weekly family reunion.

Monique is her own worst enemy. Her anger is what’s keeping her relevant, unfortunately.

This is Mo'Nique equivalent to her wearing a bonnet.

lol my name is a “smash together” Carlo + Lissa = Carlissa 🤣

Angel's immediate "No" on Tab co-hosting sent me. So Territorial. 🤣

Thanks for truly explaining, in truncated detail, the contract and contractual agreements/obligations.

Great discussion about Monique & DL! She does have a valid point but she should’ve taken it to court. That stage rant was Ego and past trauma being spilled everywhere. I love Mo but it’s just like…Damn Queen 🤦🏾‍♀️

I’ll be 27 at the end of the month and I spent all of my mid twenties in the pandemic. It’s wild how time flies.

Monique is doing a masterclass on how to ruin your career. It's also very dismissive to say that dl is more respected just because he is a man.

Mo'nique seems to have a lot of unsettled issues with people because of lack of communication with them. She also holds grudges. No matter how frustrated she may be, she can't dictate to people what to pay her.

As a Jamaican man I feel like their is an expectation that I should be able to grill as well as cook.

I loved Monique in Almost Christmas and Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins 😂

Mo was not disrespected by Netflix. She was upset that she wasn’t offered what another comic, I agree Amy Schumer isn’t funny, was being offered however that comedian was relevant at the time and was selling our venues like Madison Square Garden. Mo wasn’t relevant at the time and had been a terror to work with since Sydney hitched his wagon to hers. The Parkers was buffoonery.

Lmao! Kev is a 100% my husband when it comes to our relationship... dang, I love my man so much, he's too good to me🥰

The coward peen comment was below the belt but the way I cackled when I heard it 😂🤣

“Tylers the Perry” and “Wither thou goest, wither thou beist” had me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏾‍♀️ Kev is hilarious!!

Kevin has literally had at least 10 black women on Keep Your Distance that are funnier than Monique. Much rather see them get the money and respect they deserve than constantly hear her complain.

Not tryna flex but I’m 23 and I’m turning into a grill master 🤣I haven’t cooked for a full family but I’ve did me, my girl, my brother and his football teammates so prolley bout 20 folks, for multiple holidays, I moved far from home, only way i could get the taste of my family’s cooking is learning how to do it my self 💪🏽

"Our parents generation ain't had nowhere to go they had to be in the kitchen" 😭😂

i'm Jamaican and I've been cooking since i was 7, my grandaunt left me her favourite pot when she passed away, my brother is a chef...We be cooking

MONIQUE NEVER had a contract with DL which is what she would need in order to say that he violated her contract. Her contract is with the promoter which is who she should’ve directed her complaints too instead of DL and his wife.

Monique needs to fire her husband he has ruined her career and it's sad to watch

Idc what y'all talking about I'm here for it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Monique should have to take a page from your book and create her own table to make money on her own platform and make Hollywood come to you instead of you going to Hollywood trying to get opportunities

You’re right about Jamaican men they know how to thrown down in the kitchen, not sure if it’s the same for men in all the “Islands” as you call them! My Dad taught his siblings/cousins to cook and he’s known as Jerk Pan Man 🔥🔥🔥

I heard DL Hughley take he just uploaded to KZfaq and I'm on his side. He had nothing to do with the contract Mo should've taken that up with the promoters or your lawyers. Monique been annoying since that husband aka Daddy. And she tried to turn the audience against DL because he still had to perform after she unnecessarily brought up his family and sexuality. And she tries to weaponize black femininity just because things don't go your way or you feel entitled to something because of a supporting actress Oscar you won over 10 years ago slowly but surely loses its luster and the only thing I'm starting to associate with Monique is drama. And if she felt disrespected on his show then address it then!

As a daughter of a Jamaican man, yes that is true. "Unu man dem haffi know how fi cook!" 😅😂

I was anxiously awaiting y’all’s take on this. Y’all did not disappoint!

I was just listening to someone yesterday when they said people can blame others for most of there problems but the majority of come from hurt that's self inflicted. Monique can blame the world but you made if further than most what did you do with the baton once it was in your hand. You got the Oscar winner status did you become a creator or just wait to receive a job. You won what most go their whole career and still haven't got.

Is it just me or does Monique feel her Oscar winning performance in a drama should somehow translate to more $$$ when doing comedy shows and specials? I’ve been pondering this question for years and now even in this situation on stage she spoke of her accomplishments stating “I’m not even gone talk awards”. That award was not for comedy🙄. If that’s the case TI is the most decorated comedian, he’s got plenty of platinum records and awards never mind them being for music

First legs n hips n bawdy now I’m still here 🤣🤣🤣 Angel must be stopped immediately

Angel’s, Tisha Campbell impersonation had me in tears 😂 “I’m, I’m, I’m. I’m still here”

If she has SO MUCH anger, she needs THERAPY! Enough with all this misplaced sympathy!

I'm real comfortable on that grill. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, steaks, ribs, brisket, shrimp, and vegetables

The fact that they keep saying PRO-grem 😂😂😂

1# Monique's appearance on DL's show was years ago. 2# Kev - serious question, would you have her on Keep Your Distance ? If your answer is no, then 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ 3# She always agrees to" bad deals", then complains after the fact. What she needs is a real manager, not her husband/manager. Plus the contract she showed on IG is a contract from Hicks company, her husband/manager company to herself.

Martin~ The episode where they kill his mama bird sends me every time! 😆😆🤣🤣😂😂

It ain’t DL responsibility to fix her situation at the club. They will do anything to take the full heat off the person who is wrong

People are usually on Mo'Nique's side because she's 1st to run & put everything out in public (making it seem like she's "the victim" exposing something). But, typically, whenever you hear the full story, it seems like she "goes nuclear" over some things that could've & should've been resolved behind the scenes. It's not as if we don't appreciate the drama, but it damages her reputation & those of black women. No one in their right mind is going to want to work w/ a person, who's been known to put everyone she's had a disagreement w/ on blast. Especially in this case, where it seems to be a contract dispute, which she should've resolved in court, instead of on-stage. It's like Mo'Nique is running out of jokes, so she just rants, name-calls, & disparages ppl. While entertaining, that's not comedy & ppl who pay for a real comedy show are going to get tired of it, sooner or later. Personally, I think Mo's funnier than DL, because I don't recall ever laughing at his jokes (her Queens of Comedy performance, effortlessly eclipsed his King of Comedy one). So, I'm not "a hater of female comedians" or anything, but I'll call them out on their foolishness (especially when they try to turn it into a man vs woman argument, when it clearly isn't). I'm tired of ppl making excuses for "bad behavior", especially for a woman who puts on a "sweet as pie" act. If DL would've came on stage & said the vile things Mo' did, then everyone would be like "why would he attack a black woman?" (like Mo' was trying to play up, as the "perpetual victim" that she wants everyone to believe she is, but failed at). Just because most of us have a "crazy auntie", doesn't mean that we should make excuses for her and/or others who act like her, because that's toxic & only emboldens them to perpetuate the problem. IDK why everyone's listing off Mo's old accolades, like they really matter in this instance. 1st off, they're old & you're only as popular as your "current resume" (like Netflix told her). 2ndly, they neglected to list off DL's accomplishment, because he's had his own shows too, that were actually named after him (but since I don't find him funny I never really watched them). 3rd, while admirable, what does Mo' winning an academy award in a "serious film role" in 2010 have to do w/ her headlining a comedy show in 2022? Lastly, if it's a contract dispute, the appropriate thing would be for Mo' to take it up w/ her management & the promoters, in court. Our parents are supposed to teach us "there's a time & place for everything" & "there's a right way & a wrong way to handle situations". For instance: if you're passed up for a promotion, you shouldn't go in the middle of the office & blast the co-worker who got promoted over you, while simultaneously bringing up your grudges w/ your ex-bosses. Because that's plain insane & makes you look worse than the ppl you're berating. But Mo' can do what she wants, I just don't want to hear her cry & complain about the consequences of her own actions (again). Because if any of us were her potential employers we'd wisely steer clear of that possible headache, in advance. And at 54, Mo' knows your reputation precedes you, especially in Hollywood (where she wants to work because of the pay, praise, & privilege it affords her). But everyone coddling her, is only emboldening her to continue her bad behavior, because she clearly won't learn her lesson if she knows "we the people" aren't going to hold her accountable. Because, ultimately, we are the ones paying her bills & keeping her relevant (like we do all celebrities).

The promoter double dipped and its on her management to prevent it from happening

The issue isn't that Mo'Nique isn't on par with her male counterparts in comedy. She has achieved a many great things on a level some of them hadn't come close too. The issue is Mo allowed a man to come into her queendom and sully her focus. Notice she didn't have all these issues until after she married that man she calls her husband. He is an instigator for drama, hyping her up against Oprah, Tyler, Lee, Steve and many others. It can't always be everyone else that's the problem, sometimes it's you that's the problem. Your enemy doesn't always have to be a negative vile force that's obvious. Sometimes your enemy may be right in front of your face, sleeping in your bed, eating your food and calling you baby, saying they love you. All the while doing the Devil's work. And that's 💯. Stay Blessed! ❤️

I’m stating my opinion. Monique was great on the Parkers an all other shows but she hasn’t really pivoted or evolved with the times and to me she is entitled. She is passive aggressive with the my beloved, babies that’s to reel you in but will cut you down , people gonna get enough of wanting people to win but don’t truly know who they are. Times have changed and to be honest she hasn’t evolved with comedy.

I def have started to create my own recipe history and writing them down for my kids and friends. Nothing is unchangeable as many of our traditional foods are unhealthy. Plus, many of us don’t eat scavengers so we have to get certain ingredients out of our food. I have tweaked all of the recipes learned from my southern family to be healthier but still nostalgic.

Kev, that Latino pronunciation was muy bien!! That carne asada was smooth.

I don't care about the entertainers contract! I just want to see a show!

Martin Chatacter Rankings 1. Shenehneh 2. Jerome 3. Otis

DL said he did NOT know Mo'Nique's situation, and she NEVER came to speak to him about the contract situation.

This was balanced and fair. You guys respectfully addressed so many issues,

Great show! Angel has such a soothing voice.💛💖

"Its a puppy" I die laughing uncontrollably every time I watch that episode of Martin!

They could've handled it internally instead of bringing it to social media

Angel needs to have a segment/bring back a segment called "ask Angel. I would call in all the time for her advice/thoughts.

Thanks for the time stamps! 💕

Monique comes off as classless.

My teenage daughter's favorite Martin episode is when Martin is sick and Cole spills his soup. Martin says, "Oh damn! My soup!" She thinks that is hilarious!

The “ are you comfortable on that grill? “Timestamp is hilarious lol

Black man under 30 here. I’m super comfortable on the grill, but that came with experience of wanting what I like at affordable price. So for the past 7 years since I was 20 I’ve put the time in to learn and get super comfortable. But I think this is def a uncommon thing. But ima bring the bros to the promise land with me, I happily teach anyone who ask.
