DELLA REESE: FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO GUEST HOST 'THE TONIGHT SHOW'

Delloreese Patricia Early (July 6, 1931 – November 19, 2017), known professionally as Della Reese, was an American jazz and gospel singer, actress, and ordained minister whose career spanned seven decades.

Della Reese was born Delloreese Patricia Early, in the historic Black Bottom neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan.

In 1944, she began her career directing the young people's choir, after she had nurtured acting plus her obvious musical talent. She was often chosen, on radio, as a regular singer. At the age of 13, she was hired to sing with Mahalia Jackson's gospel group. Reese entered Detroit's Cass Technical High School (where she attended the same year as Edna Rae Gillooly, later known as Ellen Burstyn). She also continued with her touring with Jackson. With higher grades, she became in 1947 the first in her family to graduate from high school, aged 15.

After this she formed her own gospel group, the Meditation Singers.

She began her long career as a singer, scoring a hit with her 1959 single "Don't You Know?". In the late 1960s she hosted her own talk show, Della, which ran for 197 episodes.

In 1970, Reese became the first black woman to guest host The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. She appeared in several TV movies and miniseries, was a regular on Chico and the Man and played the mother of B. A. Baracus in The A-Team episode "Lease with an Option to Die". In 1991, she starred opposite her old friend Redd Foxx in his final sitcom, The Royal Family, but his death halted production of the series for several months. Reese also did voice-over for the late 1980s Hanna-Barbera animated series A Pup Named Scooby-Doo on ABC. Reese achieved continued success in the religious television drama Touched by an Angel (1994–2003), in which she played the leading role of Tess.

From 1975 she also starred in films, playing opposite Redd Foxx in Harlem Nights (1989), Martin Lawrence in A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) and Elliott Gould in Expecting Mary (2010).

In our continued bonus episode excursions into other worlds, we've gone so far out of it that Christina doesn't actually know what's going on. So we brought in Tanner's friend Cyd to tell us all about Magic: the Gathering! The card might have complex rules, but the lore is what we're here for, and we're trying our best not to assign everybody theatre kid colours.

Day #74: Creation and Destruction

[sandraharissa]

I totally agree with the observation many ppl made that it's clear that in the song Alastor is just lying and manipulating for some reason and says what he says more bcos of Lucifer than Charlie but I also kinda anticipate that in some regard he's gonna be humanized/redeemed so I do think he'll form somewhat of a genuine bond at minimum with Charlie at some point in the future (maybe s2 or s3).

Cos Charlie believed everything Alastor was saying and already in this episode we met Mimzy with the whole "wow I didn't know Alastor had friends" and "he's a kitten", in the next we'll meet Rosie and it looks like Alastor takes Charlie to her to show her that ppl support her and will help her defend the hotel, so it's kinda funny how before the song Alastor doesn't do any real bonding with Charlie so to the audience it's clear it's all bs but he might do it in the very next ep that comes out.

It's also possible Vaggie is not anymore in the picture (big maybe), which could make Charlie more reliant on Alastor for the first time for real emotional support. And this is all happening very soon after he claimed they have this special bond and she's like his daughter so why wouldn't she turn to him.

Now don't get me wrong I totally expect Alastor to do some truly fucked up shit first but if the hotel ever is to prove that truly anyone can be redeemed then what better example is there than Alastor bettering himself (probs not becoming an angel tho cos we know it's not his style).
