My TV Cameo on The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty!

This is the first among many of my TV cameos to come, and I am so humbled by it. God is the Greatest! I have a quick cameo in the latest episode of A&E's hit new reality show, "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," which follows Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon's lives as they record new material for a concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five. In the latest episode, "Come Together," (Part 1,) Marlon Jackson is gearing to attend the Thurgood Marshall College Fund event to receive an award on behalf of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson; and somewhere in the mix, you will find me! LOL

Watch the episode right here.

You can also catch this episode of The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, "Come Together" exclusively on A&E this Sunday, January 10th at 4 pm, 11 pm,
and Monday, January 11th at 3 am; EST.

Interviewing the incomparable Marlon Jackson was an unforgettable moment for me. I was so moved and touched by his genuine humility. There was no ego, he was so transparent, and so real. Marlon spoke in the Jackson's signature "soft spoken-voice-above-a-whisper," and reminiscences of his childhood, and shared his great love and admiration for his brother, Michael, (which in turn, made me want to cry.)

At one point during my interview with Marlon, he tilted his head to the side and said to me, 'my God, you're good! You were made for this weren't you?'
