Tiffany Pollard & Sheryl Lee Ralph's Viral Brunch Clip Is Comedy Gold
Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Social media can't stop laughing after an old clip from VH1's Brunch With Tiffany resurfaced, featuring none other than the legendary Sheryl Lee Ralph sitting down with reality TV icon Tiffany 'New York' Pollard. Originally aired during Season 1 of the series, the interview has found new life online, and for good reason. It's the kind of chaotic comedy and unexpected connection that only these two could serve up. Watch the viral video clip inside. The now-viral moment begins with Pollard doing what she does best, blending earnest curiosity with outrageous commentary. As she interviews the Dreamgirls and Abbott Elementary star over mimosas, the conversation takes hilarious turns from Broadway to Jamaican auntie energy to fashion faux pas (spandex, anyone?). What's most delightful, though, is how game Sheryl Lee Ralph is for all of it. Fans online are praising Ralph's versatility and humor, marveling at how easily she goes from regal to real in Pollard's company. 'You've never seen Sheryl like this!' the post claims. Whether she's giggling over Pollard's questions or reminiscing about her Jamaican roots, Ralph is candid, quick-witted, and refreshingly down-to-earth. Pollard reminds everyone why she's still the queen of unscripted TV. With her signature blend of sass and sincerity, she creates a space where her guests feel at ease while keeping the laughs coming. 'Tiffany Pollard is so unserious 😂,' the Instagram caption reads, and the comment section agrees. Viewers are calling the exchange 'TV magic' and demanding more throwback interviews from the Brunch With Tiffany vault. Originally launched in 2017, Brunch With Tiffany was a short-form digital series that featured Pollard interviewing a range of celebrities over brunch. The series quickly developed a cult following for its mix of heartfelt moments and outrageous hilarity, which was often driven by Pollard's unpredictable approach to every conversation. The renewed buzz around this episode proves the internet's love for nostalgia, especially when it involves two beloved Black women from different corners of entertainment culture sharing a genuinely fun moment. Whether you're here for the laughs, the legacy, or just Tiffany being Tiffany, this clip is worth a rewatch (or three).

Who is Hollywood's richest celeb? With $8.3B net worth, richer than Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg
Hollywood fame brings fortune, but not like his. The industry's richest man is neither an actor, musician or even a director. While he doesn't appear in front of the camera, he runs the show behind it. With $8.3 billion to his name, this mogul is even richer than big names like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson. In fact, filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are nowhere close to him. It is film producer, record executive, and media proprietor David Geffen. According to Forbes magazine, David Geffen is the richest celebrity in the world. Reportedly, he has a net worth of $8.3 billion as of May 2025. Over the past fifty years, David Geffen has built an entertainment empire in the industry, launching iconic record labels and co-founding the popular studio DreamWorks, backing music and films. David Geffen's wealth is said to be a net worth of $8.3 billion. He's far ahead of other big names in Hollywood like Mark Cuban, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg, who are said to be worth between $5.3 and $5.7 billion. While Oprah Winfrey follows with $3.1 billion, it's Jay-Z, the world's richest musician and Beyonce's husband with $2.5 billion net worth. Geffen is so wealthy that even if you add up the net worth of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Tom Cruise to about $2.1 billion, still only a quarter of what Geffen's wealth is. David Geffen started in entertainment as a teenage extra on the sets. Later he moved into talent management in the late 1960s. In 1971, he co-founded Asylum Records, signing icons like the Eagles, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Linda Ronstadt, and others. By the 1970s, he forayed into films, becoming vice chairman at Warner Bros. In 1980, he launched Geffen Records, which went on to represent global music icons such as Elton John, Cher, Olivia Newton-John, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, and Neil Young to name only a few. In 1982, Geffen founded his own company, the Geffen Film Company, producing hit dark comedies like Beetlejuice and Broadway adaptations of hits like Dreamgirls and Cats. In 1994, Geffen joined forces with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg to co-found DreamWorks SKG, the studio producing blockbusters like Shrek, Transformers, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, and American Beauty.

Meet world's richest star, has net worth Rs 69000 crore, richer than Shah Rukh Khan, Salman, Aamir combine, not Tom Cruise, The Rock, name is...
Did you believe that Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Shah Rukh Khan, or even Taylor Swift are the richest people in the world of film? The real chunk of Hollywood wealth—a man who has never even been in front of a camera—is far more impressive than any of these megastars. Hollywood's billionaire king Introducing David Geffen, a media tycoon, record executive, and film producer who, as of May 2025, Forbes estimates, is the richest person in Hollywood with an astounding net worth of $8.3 billion. With $5.3–$5.7 billion, Geffen's fortune dwarfs that of industry tycoons like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Mark Cuban. Geffen is far wealthier than even Oprah Winfrey ($3.1 billion) and Jay-Z ($2.5 billion), the richest musician in the world. In actuality, you would still have less than 25% of Geffen's wealth if you added up the fortunes of Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. The story behind the fortune Geffen's ascent to fame started modestly as a teenage extra. He was a talent manager by the late 1960s and co-founded Asylum Records in 1971, signing such legendary artists as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and the Eagles. With the establishment of Geffen Records in 1980—home to legends like Neil Young, Elton John, Cher, Guns N' Roses, and Nirvana—he furthered his Midas touch. Geffen did more than just make music, though. In 1982, he established the Geffen Film Company, which produced Broadway triumphs like Dreamgirls and Cats as well as cult favorites like Beetlejuice. He then co-founded DreamWorks SKG, the formidable studio behind Shrek, Transformers, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, and American Beauty, with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg in 1994. David Geffen is not only the richest man in Hollywood but also the wealthiest celebrity in the world thanks to his empire, which spans five decades and numerous businesses. Even while the performers receive most of the attention, Geffen, who works in the background, is the real owner of the program.
