Marsha provides commentary on a video by award-winning content creator Garrison Hayes (@GarrisonHayesthat) that addresses advertising mediums that began to include African Americans at the tail end of the Civil Rights Movement. Marsha provides context for the (in)famous McDonald's "Calvin Got A Job" commercial by hypothesizing that the roots of American entertainment lie within the advent of Blackface and minstrelsy. She also welcomes very special guest actor, comedian, and two-time NAACP Image Award winner Kym Whitley as they go down memory lane and discuss one of Kym's events when Marsha openly came out of the closet. Her comedy sons Steven Roberts and Skills Hudson join her as they celebrate Steven's birthday, which occurred during the taping, and muse on Skillz's personal space, homophobic slurs, and Republicans (Black or otherwise). She also shares her thoughts and experiences on her visit to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. This episode is a blend of nostalgia, humor, and thought-provoking discussions that you won't want to miss!

Midnight in the MARSHAVERSE is a late-night vibed chill and hang session with actress/comedienne Marsha Warfield, her special guests, and her "2Sons," Skillz Hudson and Steven Roberts. Warfield guides audiences and guests through her world of Upper Ghetto Sheology, Comediosophy, the Church of SHESUS, the Book of MARSHA, and her vision for the future with warmth, heart, humor, and the help of her favorite Cannabis and Cognac. It's one Black woman's world where everyone is welcome to join in and contribute to her mission of freeing Americans' colonized minds while we laugh at the uptight, unfair, and uncool world...
