A milestone episode this week -- Lena welcomes her first male guest in the history of Legacy Talk! And it's a fitting one, as Robert Townsend has worked with just about everyone in Black Hollywood. As a comedian, actor, writer, and director, known for projects from The Parent 'Hood to The Five Heartbeats, his work is kind, hopeful, and even "fatherly," by Lena's description -- but also so significant. Lena and Robert discuss a lot in this special conversation -- everything from casting overqualified people for roles, to how Eddie Murphy created his own genre of comedy, and how Robert has always been a little bit ahead of his time.
