What's up, y'all?
We're at Day Two of BET at the Super Bowl LIII,
and we at home. Yeah. We're at the House of BET
with all your favorite shows coming up this one.
I know you can't wait for it. And one of the shows
we're paying attention to is Boomerang.
We've got one of the stars of Boomerang
coming to us right now. Lala Milan.
Lala, what's up with you?
Hey, what's going on?
I'm doing good, how you doing?
I'm feeling blessed, amazing, and all that extra stuff.
The supportive people want to know,
what is the difference between BET Boomerang on the TV
and the film that came out 25 years ago?
Okay, so I'm glad you asked,
because literally, the movie is that in itself.
The original, it cannot be duplicated.
This is a continuation, so if you saw the original movie,
you know that Eddie Murphy and Halle
Berry worked together at the end.
So, years later, they had a child,
and that ended up being the person who I'm working with,
so it's basically like a black version of Friends.
Okay, okay.
I like that right there. I like that right there.
Yeah.
What can viewers expect for the tone of the show
when they watch?
The character that's being followed around,
showing their lifestyle and everything like that,
so it depends what person you're paying most attention to,
to tell you what tone you're going to get.
For me, my character Tia, I could say spicy, a spicy tone.
All right, now, Lala.
You know you kept me on the new one,
and I know about the original.
You're right, you're right.
Okay, so I like to play this game called,
"Does the Cast of Boomerang Know Their Boomerang?"
Give me my cards. Cue my music.
Give us your best Lady Eloise impression.
"My best, grrr."
Her too?
Hey, question number two.
What year was Boomerang released?
In 1992.
Got you. Okay, that's correct.
I'm so nervous.
No, no, no, don't be nervous. You're two for two.
Let's go.
What is Marcus' occupation who played by Eddie Murphy?
He works at a commercial agency.
Okay. That's good, that's good, that's good. That's correct.
What city does the movie take place?
New York.
A made-up, fictitious place in New York, actually.
Oh, man, and a little extra credit for us, huh?
You know what I'm saying? Give me my point!
Oh, you got 'em. You got 'em. That's four for four.
Marcus sends flowers to nine different women
with the same note attached. What does the note say?
Child, that's a good question. I'm stuck on that.
But ... yeah, no, I'm stuck.
"Thinking only of you."
Boy! Thinking only of everybody else.
What would you do if a man just sent you,
"Thinking only of you," knowing he sent it to-
Well, after hearing that line, I'ma be like, "He lying,"
and throw the freaking flowers in the trash.
What comedian played the mailman?
Chris Rock.
Oh, correct, correct!
And, last question. What's the name of the perfume
Marcus' agency created a commercial for,
and who did it star?
That was Strangé.
Okay.
And it was starring ... hold on, hold on ...
Grace Jones!
Oh, that's correct! Woohoo!
You know your Boomerang.
Yes, I do, honey. I better!
Make sure you tell everybody when to come out, when it drops.
Oh, honey, you could go ahead and catch the show on BET
on February 12th at 10:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, honey,
and if you in the other coast of the world,
then make sure you check it at 7:00. Okay?
Wherever you are, make sure you get it at the right time.
Different coasts be everywhere, though.
You know what it is. Lala Milan, everybody.
Appreciate you keep it locked.
