How Taye Diggs Found His Groove in Hollywood

Y'all, thanks for swinging through for this #HouseGuest episode with my boy Taye Diggs! This episode serves charisma, cocktails, and chaos—just how we like it. We make a specialty cocktail with his new bourbon brand, Sable, while we test each other's Black telepathy (...or charades 🤣) We also hit on the deep stuff: his career highs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back, All American), lessons learned from Angela Bassett, and Whoopi Goldberg, plus the infamous slap scene with Nia Long in The Best Man. We also test each other's improv skills before we nearly lose Taye to the pool 🤣 You know I love hearing from y'all in the comments, what was your favorite part of the episode?? 00:00 Intro 02:19 Best Superbowl Half Time 03:56 Taye & Prince 04:45 Taye & Sable Bourbon 07:04 The Best Man Cocktail 10:25 The Least Black Holiday 13:30 Taye & Thanksgiving 16:53 Taye Turns Up 19:00 Taye's Most-Used Emoji 22:43 All American 24:00 Coach is Killed Off 26:22 Career Start 27:26 Confidence in Hollywood 31:40 Taye on Stage 33:30 Taye's Least Favorite Sound 35:16 Leading Ladies 39:03 Taye & Nia Long 41:57 Game Time: Make a Scene *The Best Man Cocktail* Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon 4-5 fresh blackberries (or preferred berries) 0.75 oz lemon juice 3-4 mint leaves 0.5 oz simple syrup (optional) Soda water Ice Directions: Muddle the blackberries, mint leaves, and lemon juice in a shaker.
