Members Dana Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 I don't really want to go through Ellen's letter again to verify this, but did she even try to get a lawyer and/or get representation when contract talks would came up or did she just meekly sign her non-negotiable contract every time? Again, I still don't understand how and why she would even sign that first contract via a guy on the phone supposedly representing her who wouldn't identify himself. Maybe she was intimidated or totally naive given she was paving new ground as an AA on daytime, but that smacks of utter stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daphne Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for posting the link. My memory is very fuzzy about Nathan (err, "Kong's") early beginnings. All I remember about Jazz was his bald head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 I just did a search and found these....WTF? People actually thought this passed as a white person? It looks like a bad Wayans Brothers sketch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 In case anyone was wondering: yes, "Kong" was Nathan Hastings. As I said, I'll give Chris B that Nathan was a positive, front-burner portrayal of AA's on Y&R...if by "positive," we mean "henchman who reforms himself into Olivia's bougie husband who slept with HIV-positive Keesha behind Olivia's back and wound up getting killed as a result of trying to kidnap his own son."

Members Khan Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 No, Jazz and Amy weren't a couple, but he and "Konathan" worked in Anthony's organization. Together, they helped Tyrone take down the mobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Tyrone should have consulted Oprah. She's been passing as White for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
