- Child, when we started this journey,
I was cream rising to the top of the internet.
- You finna be a mother-freaking superstar.
- Well, I can see us at the godd--- apollo, maddie.
- And hollywood started to take notice.
- I'd really feel confident
That we can get you on a mainstream platform.
- When you google you, all of the raunch is coming up.
- But cleaning up my act ain't always easy,
Especially if I wanna stay true to myself.
Everybody want me to be this cookie-cutter whoop-de-whoop.
That's not me.
And before I could seize my future,
I had to resolve my past.
There was only one thing to do.
I'm getting ready to kidnap you all
And take y'all to florida.
- Ah! [imitates guns popping]
- Not only is this the perfect time
To work on my new show...
I wanna combine all of my shows
To make one show.
"ts madison: Loud, live, and in color."
I can tackle some things in my past
That I don't even talk about.
- How could you just change just like that?
- I didn't change "just like that."
- You actually want me to treat you like a woman, tim.
Whew, my god. [dramatic percussion]

To call me madison at the end.
After he asked me for $3,000 for a truck.

My drawers ain't touching me nowhere right now.
I don't even wanna talk about ts madison father.

Girl, it was like pulling hair
To get tiffany to do the "ts madison after dark" show.
Tiff, I'm so excited for you coming to do my show.
- I'm not gonna come.
- Is it the man, girl?
So I'm having this pajama party for tiffany
To make her feel comfortable.
Give her a couple bottles of moet,
Rub her feet if I got to, stroke her ego
So I can get in her mind
And put my master plan together
Like the evil genius that I am.
You know I'm getting ready to launch the show.
"loud, live, and in color"--
That's why I got all the basement and stuff like that.
Each area of the house, I'm gonna make,
You know, a segment of the show,
And "ts madison after dark" was one of those segments.
This was actually a "ts madison after dark" moment.
Once I convince tiffany how much fun we have
On the "ts madison after dark" show, child,
How could she resist?

And you know I didn't wanna not do it.
You knew it wasn't-- - I knew it was the man.
I knew.
It don't even have to be about you.
Like, we just, like--
Like, oliver sparked that conversation,
Was, like, "how big is he?"
You was like, "honey, I need a wheelchair."
Like, people love that.
- Sex is a part of us
Because that's--obviously, that's how we all got here,
And I'm trying to ease my man into understanding that.
His only gripe is,
"I don't want you talking about anybody else's d---."
So I would love to talk about sex
If we could leave d--- off the table.
That's impossible, isn't it?
- Definitely with me.
But I can't leave the d--- off the table.
I guess "madison after dark" is off the table.
Understand, I charge by the pound
Just like usda grade-a top sirloin beef.

Becoming the first trans oprah.
Child, she stay all over me.
- I am so happy to see that.
- And you see the big old gigantic banner behind me?
- That looks real great.
- Pam, listen, I have a big idea
That I wanna run by you.
The team and I were on the bus coming up with one show.
I'm gonna put everything in one, and this is--
- A variety show. - A variety show.
There're gonna be some cooking segments,
There're gonna be some funny moments.
All the things that made the people, like,
Really fall in love with ts madison.
- Okay.
So is it gonna be raunchy?
- It will be polished raunch. - [laughs]
- You told me that you wanted me to be polished.
I have those raunchy elements.
- So it's gonna be polished, so that's very good.
- I would love to do the "after dark" show
On "loud, live, and in color,"
But pam is worried about the raunch.
So I guess I can't do it.
F--- it.
If I could show them that I could do that,
They could do the rest.
- Okay, I like that idea, and I know you can run with it.
- Pam loves the idea.
Now me and the team gotta put this s--- together
And make it happen.
- You wanna be in everybody's living room,
And so this is what is needed.
- Pam, I'm hoping that them connections that you got--
- I think that's gonna come through.
It's an unbelievable opportunity, maddie,
Because this is gonna take you to the next level.
It's what we've been really working towards.
Can you deliver it? I need it, like, yesterday.
- I know she said she needed something
Not now, but right now,
But girl, it's gonna take me a second
To put this stuff together.
- You are the ts madison. [chuckles]
- Y'all keep saying that s---,
But y'all don't know what it s to be the ts madison.
- You'll rise to the occasion.
- I always have before, godd--- it.
Can I even do this?
Coming up on "the ts madison experience"...
Here, we find out everything that we need to know.
Did you love flavor flav at one point?
- She has to give something to the agent.
- I know I'm not gonna be able
To do the full video in the time that you need it.
- Dear god.
I really don't know what to do.
This could either make or break us.

- Before we start taping,
I need everybody to be on the same page.
We gonna put this show together to pitch to the networks.
This is what's gonna propel us
Into the next level of superstardom.
So I gotta show the hollywood execs
That I'm not just a one-trick pony.

[laughter]
Maddie, you is rich!
- Girl, please. - Girl, this is rich!

We're going for an audience outside of what we're used to.
We need to open up with very, very, very funny things
Because we need to capture the audience...

We have limited time with tiffany.
"cracking the cold cases,"
We have her "bish let's dish,"
We have her "spotlight." tiffany's done.
We can kiss our sister, aunt, mother, queen,
And let her... - Go head.

What I want people to take away from this show
Is like, "oh, my god, this is lightning in a bottle."

She does great work for the trans community,
For the black community and black women.
- Carry on.
- "spotlight" is a talk segment where we discuss
Real issues faced by the lgbtq+ community.
- Rolling.
- Today we're discussing an issue
That should not just be specific
In the trans community, but the community at large.
- I'm really excited and nervous at the same time.
All of these segments are important
To show the different facets of ts madison.
This could either make or break us.
We need to make sure that we
Teach the people out there that are watching
That it's important that you address people
By the proper pronouns. - Yeah, correct.
- Now, hope, your pronouns...
- She, her, and hers.
- Craig, your pronouns? - He, him, and his.
- Mine is she, her, and hers, and all of hers.
- Yes. Yes.
- Tiffany, your pronouns?
- Mine, mine, and sometimes his.
- I'm gonna guess grammar
Was not tiffany's best subject in school.
Hell, it ain't my strongest subject, either.
And damn sure not ms. Mary's.
- Welcome to "cracking the cold cases"
With ts madison.
In "cracking the cold cases,"
I spice up my interview skills
So I can get into those cold situations
That people don't wanna talk about no more,
But I can get them to spill the tea.
Did you love flavor flav at one point?
- Well, if love is, you know, doing the do...
- Oh, you just love the d--- pics.

Thank you for saying that. - Girl!

Camera speed? - Rolling.

Tiffany is involved in this segment, honey,
And because she's getting married
To this new sugar daddy that she got,
I needed to know what was her special dish
That was gonna keep that man at home.

For having me here in your kitchen today,
And I cannot wait to chef up
And let you know my water chicken recipe.

Come on, y'all. Let's go. - All right.
- Y'all hos asleep?
You already know what time it is.
[curious music]
Ah. Wait a minute.
Oh, che che.
- Hi, che che, baby.
- Where in the hell has che che been
At all this long time?
- Typical che che.
- Tiffany, you standing like-- - well, shonté is in my seat.
- Whoa, no, no, no.
Well, tiffany, your car is almost here.
- Oh, that's right. - Yeah.
- Oh, queen, I... [stammers]
I have a plane to catch.
It's literally leaving in less than an hour.
- Damn, so I always get you--
- I would only run down the runway for you.
- That's right. That's right.
- I do have to take off, but thank y'all so much.
Madison, thank you for having me.
- Listen, you is my first guest,
And I wouldn't have had it any other way.
- And queen, just like you had that,
You got this too, 'cause I got to go, girl.
[laughter]
Madison worked so hard.
Honey, this woman has built a show
In her basement.
She's fire!
So the fact that I'm a pat of her journey,
It means the world to me.
When she's unleashed to the world,
Y'all better watch your ass.
Eat enough for me too. - Girl!
Oh, my god, I love you. - All right.
- Thank you. - God bless y'all.
- Yes, yes. - Y'all take care, now.
- Coming up on "the ts madison experience"...
- There was a constant echoing that was going.
- The way it sounds, it's not usable.
- I'm out of time, I'm out of money,
And I'm out of motherf------ patience.
- Now, wait a minute, bitch.
Child, ooh, the glow up is real, baby.
Honey, the basement done,
The show done been shot,
Tiffany here,
We look good, baby.
Oh, my god, I feel like that we are on the right track.
I can't wait to see how this thing turn out
And catapult me into superstardom, girl.
I told y'all from the start I was that bitch.
[laughs]
Get ready, baby. Oh, yes.
[upbeat music]
Child, y'all sit back and enjoy the damn show.
I'm outta here.
- The only thing that's working!
'cause oliver got the audio for this.
- I have my hand on your ass, tiffany, you feel that?
- I'm loving it. - Ooh!
- I don't even need him anymore.
- Oh, my god!
- Everything is f----- up.
I haven't slept since the day we shot this.
I've been up, trying to edit,
Trying to create all the graphics, intros, music,
The boom-pow-pow-pow-pow that the ts wants,
And I am about to have a nervous breakdown
Because the sound is not right.
[knock at door]
- Hola. ¿cómo estás? - You look very manly today.
- I look that way every day.
- Ah, how are you, craig? - What's going on?
- This is your first time at my place.
- This is my first time. This is really nice.
- This is the office spac. A home away from home.
- It's a little rough in this challenged area,
But you know, I made it.
- Well, there are things rougher
That we need to discuss.
- So you don't love it?
- So it's not that I don't love it.
- I got home... - Mm-hmm.
- And I started on the hard stuff first.
I was like, "I'll start on the intro,
I'll start on the graphics, the animations,"
And then the easiest part is for me
Just to edit the segments. - Okay.
- So I finally get to the segments,
Like, around, like, 2:00 this morning.
- So did you get any sleep last night?
- No, I haven't gotten any sleep in now...
26 hours.
- Are you serious? - Mm-hmm.
I get to these segments,
And this is what I hear. Look at this thing.
- [audio echoing] I'm about to take this all right now.
- That's it. You better not drink that!
Don't drink that!
- I'm about to enjoy this. - No!
[indistinct echoing]
[laughter]
- The sound is trash.
It's unusable.
She has to give something to these people, this agent.
Is there anything in here that you can pull?
- All the sound is f----- up.
- The sound is bad in "spotlight" too?
- Yes, it's even worse because it's four of you.
- What happens with this? Like, what are we gonna do?
- Can it be fixed within the time that she needs to?
I don't know, honestly.
I anticipate when I tell madison this news
That she's gonna go crazy
Because she not only spent her money,
But it did not serve the purpose
When she needed it to, so I'm glad craig is here
Because, mm-hmm, we finna get all the things of the things,
And these things ain't what we wanna bring.
[knock at door]
- It's open. - Come in!
- Hey. - Hey! How you doing?
Nice to see you. You look so nice.
What made you get so dressed up today?
- Honey, this is the money.
I needed to come see what the money was getting on.
- Oh! [laughs]
- Today, I get to see the first cut of the new show.
Pam is on my ass about getting his content.
I need for this stuff to be right.
Baby, I got everything riding on this.
- Well, girl, it looks good.
- B--but what?
- The sound...
- There was a constant echoing
That was going throughout.
I'm not sure how it wasn't caught,
But the way it sounds is not usable.
I haven't been to sleep. It's going, now, on 27 hours.
I haven't been to sleep because I wanted to make sure
We got this, and it was like, I got it,
And it was like...
It's a waste of money-- your money.
I know I'm not gonna be able to do the full video
In the time that you need it.
Now, I am trying to salvage something
So that you can send it to them,
But that's where we are with it.
- Hold on. Let me hear it.
- [audio echoing] watch your titties!
- Oh! - Watch your titties!
- Oh, my god.
Well, it would be fried chicken.
[laughter]
Thank you for being the first guest
On the "ts madison: Loud, live, and in color" show.
- I miss you already.
- Yeah, I hear that.
We end up with this?
I don't have but 24 hours to give this to pam,
And I can't go back and redo none of this stuff.
Like, I really don't know what to do.
Like, I can't even really flip like I want to
Because it was something that was new,
But if you telling me that we got something to present,
It displays my interview skills,
Then I'm in a better space.
Now, if you'd have told me I couldn't present anything,
Then I'd have been, like, "dear god."
- Right.
I'll see what I can do.
- Come up here, ms. Mary.
- Oh, but you don't wanna sit by me.
- No, I didn't know it was a special seating.
- Well, look at the chair, ms. Mary.
Look at the chair, ms. Mary.
- What chair is ms. Mary sitting in?
- "suck a d---."
[laughter]
- She's been known to gulp ball through a straw, hon.
- Ooh!
- I ain't one to gossip.
- So are you ready to see the things of the things?
- I'm nervous.
- Here is the rough cut of our pilot episode
Of "ts madison: Loud, live, and in color."
- All right, here we go. - Yes, ma'am.
- [laughs] - yay!
- Hey, everybody!
Welcome to the "ts madiso: Loud, live, and in color" show.
Tonight, we're gonna have some fun, fun, fun.
- Look how good that looks. - I'm absorbing it.
We gonna teach y'all some stuff out there.
- Oh, wow. - That screen behind you.
- Wow.
- [screams]
- Mama, please let me watch this.
- Girl!
[laughter]
- Everybody else in the rm is really enjoying the show,
But I am not.
I'm taking mental notes like,
"this is wrong. That's wrong. That's not right."
- Me being your first live guest
Means everything to me.
- When I put together stuff for people,
I'm not watching it.
My focus is on their faces to see their reaction,
And right now, the ts does not look happy,
And I'm like, "oh, f---."
Y'all know what time it is! - Uh-huh!
- You already know what time it is.
- Ah!
- Court is now in session.
- I never had no respect for nobody
That kissed flavor flav in the mouth.
- Bitch, you sitting over thee looking like flavor flav.
[laughter]
- All this while you talking,
It just would've been clips and--
- And voiceover. - Mm-hmm.
- This is the rough cut, so.
- You look good, ts. - Ts, you look good.
- All right, this has been
"the queens supreme court" show.
- It looks amazing.
- Don't forget to subscribe.
- It's just the sound. - See you next week! Bye!
- Take it all in. - Yeah.
- Take it all in.
- I am my harshest critic.
I know that things could have been so much better
If I had more time.
But I don't.
- All right, this has been
"the queens supreme court" show.
- See you next week! Bye!
- Take it all in. - Yeah.
- Take it all in.
- I mean, I have lots of critiques on it,
But overall, this definitely displays
That all of us in the room, together as a family,
Have a potential to keep people
Glued to the screen and laughing.
- It's just amazing what y'all get done
When y'all pull together.
- Yes, when y'all work together.
- I'm glad you like it. I was nervous.
I cannot lie, I feel amazing
'cause if that bitch didn't like any of this,
Y'all could've just laid me to rest
Right next to that dead-ass sound.
But hold your caskets
And your lovely baskets
Because she is feeling this, and I am happy.
'cause bitch, I haven't slept.
- Is it fixable?
- Yeah, definitely. I just needed more time.
We just had such a small, small window to work with, so.
- So when I do see it again...
- You can add all of those elements in.
- Right. - Definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I am proud of my team coming together
And making this project work,
But my performance, the way the show sounds,
I can't send that out like that.
I'm so, so disappointed.
But being the consummate professional that I am, honey,
I gotta keep a smile on my face.
Well, I think everybody should give theyself
A round of applause. - Absolutely.
- You give yourself.
- You deserve a round of applause too.
- You give yourself. - Mm-hmm.
- Clap for yourself right now. Clap for yourself.
- I am with the second cut.
[laughter]
- I wanna hold--
- Get her from the back! Get her from the back!
- That's too much.
- Are you hungry, baby?
- I'm always hungry.
- Never too tired to eat, yeah.
- These past couple of weeks, they've been f----- up.
Oliver is still working
On trying to get the footage right.
Pam is on the blitz. She calling me.
I feel like the whole taping
Of the "loud, live, and in color" show
Was for nothing.
I get right up there to the plate,
The ball is thrown at me,
And I miss it.
What am I really on this journey for?
- Ding, dong, ding, dong.
- Leggra just walking on in my house.
Hey, legs.
- Somebody done left and didn't lock the door.
- Whoever left last gonna get their ass whupped.

Come sit with me.
- Sit with you? - Yes, come on!
I gotta show you somethin. Come hither.
- You know I'm getting old, leggra.

- Ready? - I can't see nothing.
- I know you can't. You just listen.

And how I couldn't be what I wanted to be.
- Give it to me. - And how pam telling me
"don't read nobody."
Leggra telling me, "don't clap back."
I understand ts madison brand.
Bitch! Didn't I tell y'all?
The way that you be a boss is, you got to be yourself.
When you're right, bitch, you're right.
'cause the ts, she stay right, okay?
See, I've always believed
That if you stand on just being yourself,
Being exactly who you are and authentic to yourself,
You don't need to do all that other stuff.

- And then I told you when the time comes,
Everything gonna fall right in place.
It's gonna happen so quick,
You ain't gonna be able to believe it.
