When I first started out with "The Parkers" and it was No. 1, I was in Philly and this woman says, "It's great that you're No. 1 in Black America, but you're No. 160-something in White America." I said, "Well, before I answer your question, have you asked the cast of 'Friends' how it feels to be No. 200 in Black America?" The interview was then over.
