Now, her character,
Hanna Young was the last women standing. Did you... oh my goodness,
that finale.
-[Egypt] Ms. Crystal Fox... -They think...
I mean, Crystal, what's it like to be here together today? Everyone.
I think it's a moment we've been waiting for.
Because we have had a phenomenal eight years, eight seasons.
But we have never fully gotten to say how appreciative we are to the fans.
And you recently tweeted this about the final half season.
-[reading] -[both chuckle]
[Egypt] What're you gonna miss the most?
My family. But my family is this family and this family.
Um! I'm not very much into social media.
But when we had to tweet, it was so fun. Because I felt even more connected to you.
And so I feel like,
this is just an extended family. I'm gonna miss having that every week.
So much to talk about but let's first take a look at Hanna's extraordinary side
and ride.
-Do you really love God? -I do.
You really hope to see him one day?
Yes.
Then come back around here,
or around me ever again and I promise you,
I'm gonna put you on that trip to see him.
Sooner than you think.
[Oprah] Who else but you, Crystal Fox, could have played that role?
God told me to stop praying for you. He told me. He told me.
So he did this?
-Leave me alone. -Say it then.
-God, took-- -You took him with your lying self.
You took him. You did.
We all just love seeing Hanna girl from being the Cryer's maid...
So, does that mean I'm hired?
Yes. And you start right now.
Thank you very much.
Don't thank me yet. You haven't met my family.
...to running their entire estate,
we love us some of that.
Hang on. Are you telling me
that you have been made the executor of Katheryn's estate?
Every bit of it.
Now, what were you saying to me Jim, about what I have,
or have not?
But the one moment,
I don't think any of us will ever forget is you singing
There's a leak in this old building
Oh, my goodness! When you did that,
you were singing to Katheryn Cryer when she was in the hospital,
um, um, um, um. I called up Tyler and I said,
"Who knew Crystal could sing?"
He said, "Told you."
This old building
Keeps on leaning
And my soul is gotta move
I have got another building
[continues singing]
[Egypt] They' re gonna put me out of this hospital.
Crystal, you don't sing, you sang.
You got the voice of our ancestors down there in your throat.
[laughing]
That's where I went with that.
That was just, I mean so much to just wow right?
I think we all wanna know what it felt like to take Jim Cryer out?
Come on, Hanna!
What did that... what did that feel like?
I don't want to say that it felt good, it felt necessary.
That's the best thing I could say because
he... That kind of evil.
It just kept going and kept going and he killed my child,
just, without any kind of remorse. And...
And he was threat... He was always a threat to our lives and so.
in that moment he had to go.
-It was necessary. -How many takes did you request?
[chuckles] I don't request
any particular takes, let me tell you why.
This Tyler, if he likes it, he just captures it.
And you're asking, are you good with that?
If you need another one, he'll let you do it.
What was funny to me, was that it was very few, so I guess I ran over him well.
[all laughing]
We do have a fan question for you, Roll it.
Hello, my name is Dakota from Baltimore, Maryland.
My question is for the legendary Miss Crystal Fox.
What has been your favorite moment of faith for Hanna?
And your favorite prayer that she prayed for?
Thank you.
I don't know if it was a prayer as much as it was a song choice.
Um,
when...
Benny was in the hospital,
first of all when you take on a role like this, you realize, you have
the responsibility of what you bring into people's homes.
So, my intension was always to bring you all
and your stories, into
your home and have a voice.
And my grandmother was a minister until she was 89 and she died at 99.
And always went to a place of prayer the darker the moment got.
And when he was in the hospital and there was the idea that he might die,
I asked Tyler, if I could sing a song, that was her favorite song and that was
This is my story
This is my song
And I... When he let me do it,
the focus was so clear,
that my face tingle now,
that it was a director specific purposeful song and prayer of,
hope that I could endure whatever happened,
but I wanted my child to get up.
This is my story
This is my soul
Praise him my savior
[Hanna crying] God, Jesus.
Oh! I just want to be like Abraham. I want to.
I want to but you gotta help me.
I want you to heal him, but if you don't...
if you don't, I'll serve you anyway, God.
I'll serve you anyway.
-That's one of my favorite moments. -[audience clapping]
I know we have someone in the audience who has a question specifically for you, Crystal.
-Okay. -Well, Sam.
It's great to be here today. Great to meet all of you, but
-Crystal Fox, -[laughing]
you have to understand.
I have been married for 42 years.
Okay. Don't get me in trouble.
[Egypt] This is your wife right, Angela?
This is my wife right here.
So, I can ask this question with her blessing.
Okay.
-[Egypt] Angela, can you stand up as well? -Please.
42 years right there.
-Fantastic. -That's beautiful.
[Egypt] What's the key to 42 years, before we go any further.
42 years, he stays in the computer room a lot.
And I'm in another room. Yeah.
But let me just say,
42 years of marriage
but on Tuesday nights,
it was Hanna. It was Hanna.
He left me for Hanna. Every Tuesday.
Which leaves me to my question for you.
[audience laughing]
I wanna know,
How much input do you have on your love interest for your next project?
And, I would love to read for that role.
Um!
Mr. Sam, Mr. Sam.
You're a brave man. You must have a death wish with
your wife sitting right next to you.
Go ahead. That's a good one.
Well, I'm nervous Mrs. Angela.
Okay. [chuckles]
Thank you for that. Do not get me in trouble with this Mrs. Angela.
But I will say this that, Tyler, actually did
let me eventually read with the characters that became my love interest on the show.
To feel the chemistry out.
If Angela, Mrs. Angela, says it's okay,
next time that happens,
we're gonna reach out to you.
There's hope. There's hope.
