Oprah And Tyler Perry (And Madea Too) w/ Carvell Wallace

Tyler Perry appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show ten times over the years — sometimes to go deep on his traumatic past, and sometimes in over-the-top drag as Madea. It’s complicated, it’s deep, it’s messy, and we break it all down. Special Guest: Carvell Wallace, writer and podcaster, regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine and host of the podcast “Finding Fred.” Find lots more on our website — Oprahdemics.com Producer Nina Earnest, Executive Producer Jody Avirgan.
