Welcome to the stage to speak about Carrie, Tyler Perry.
00:17
This is so great.
00:18
I get to roast her in front of her.
00:21
I will be kind.
00:22
I got to tell you, I'm so honored, Carrie, to be here to witness this for you because
00:28
I've watched you over the years.
00:31
He just gave your resume, but I just want to talk about some of the personal things
00:33
that I've noticed about you.
00:36
I remember when we met years ago, she comes walking up, she's beautiful, and this little
00:42
dainty woman.
00:43
She starts talking.
00:44
I'm like, where is your inside voice?
00:45
She was so loud.
00:46
When I met her mother, I finally say, her mother's so delightful and just regal and
00:54
classy.
00:55
I was like, you're such an elegant woman.
00:56
What happened to your daughter?
00:59
We laugh about it often, but the truth is, is she is incredibly kind and giving and powerful
01:06
and her heart speaks first.
01:08
Her heart speaks first.
01:09
As I look at the roles that she has taken on from For Colored Girls to all of the things
01:13
I would mention, she ... Ratchet ass.
01:22
She approaches it with heart.
01:26
She approaches it understanding that she's not just acting, but she's representing the
01:31
people that she is portraying.
01:34
With that, with that kind of love, with that kind of attention, she approaches every detail.
01:39
I had a chance to spend some time ... I just forget these cards.
01:42
I had a chance to spend some time with her and her family on vacation.
01:46
I watched how much she loved and honored her parents.
01:50
I watched how much she loved and honored her husband and her children, how she fiercely
01:55
protects their privacy.
01:58
This made me laugh because we were walking back to the room and all of my family, her
02:02
family on holiday, walking back to the room.
02:05
Because she embodies these characters so much, when she was pregnant with her daughter, she
02:11
was doing Scandal.
02:13
As she was walking back to the room, the baby's walking in front of us with her diaper on.
02:17
I'm looking at her and I'm like, I said, Carrie, she's walking like Olivia Pope.
02:22
She's got the whole walk down all the way to the room.
02:25
She embodies it.
02:26
She embodies it.
02:27
I think that she passed it on to the baby in her DNA.
02:31
With that said, as I think about the life that she's lived as an activist, as a woman,
02:36
as a person, as a person of color, the character that she has exhibited for everyone to see,
02:44
I'm so incredibly proud of her.
02:46
I want the absolute best for you in everything you do.
02:50
As I look here and I realize that a star is being given to you and your honor, what
02:57
I know is that no one knows what it took for you to be Carrie Washington.
03:02
Not the fans, not even the people that love you the most.
03:04
They don't know how much you've prayed and cried and worked your way through.
03:11
No one could have lived the life of Carrie Washington but you.
03:15
You have been a great honor for us and it is my pleasure to be here to celebrate this
03:19
moment with you because when I think about a star, it's made of all these different gases.
03:24
They're two of the lightest gases in the world that make up 98% of what a star is.
03:29
At the core of it, it's all of this matter, this thickness, this heart.
03:35
That's what you carry every day.
03:37
I'm so proud of you.
03:38
I'm so excited to celebrate this moment with you and I wish you nothing but the best, my
03:42
love.
03:43
God bless you.
03:44
God bless you.
03:45
God bless you.
03:48
She's got a star.
03:49
Mark, do you come back up or do I?
03:51
Okay.
03:52
Okay.
03:53
I just got directed by Tyler Perry.
03:57
Not bad.
