The Realhas a new host at the table!
The 38-year-old comedian and star of HBO’sInsecure, whom Love called “the newest member of our family,” was showered with confetti as she proudly came out from backstage and joined the other women at the table.
“I’m tripping right now,” said an emotional Seales, who served as a guest co-host on the show several times in 2019.
“We get emotional at this table, and it’s okay. It’s okay,” said Mowry-Housely, 41, prompting Seales to recall the positive influence her temporary time on the show last year had on her.
“What was always so great when I would come and guest-host with y’all was, I remember at the end of the first two weeks I looked up and was like, ‘Wait, I was myself for the whole two weeks and I didn’t have to think about anything,’ ” she said.

“I said that before, but thinking about it more, it was just like we are in a business and in a town where you are being scrutinized so much, and it’s always like, ‘You gotta play the game.’ You know, it’s really just dope to come to a space where there was four women who I get along with on and off-screen, and we have different personalities and we have different points of view, but that’s the world, that’s what it is,” Seales continued.
“To be able to have the honor of bringing my voice into that means a lot to me,” she told the other women. “I have been at this a long time. I did not just show up/ I am not new to this y’all. So, to get to be here and have somewhere to sit everyday and be myself and talk to the world is an honor.”
