Marla Gibbs’ Memoir It's Never Too Late (with Alrinthea Carter and Kristina Lopez)

NEW: Chelsea welcomes writer Alrinthea Carter and producer Kristina to unpack the memoir of TV legend Marla Gibbs. Together they dive into getting her big break into the business at 44 years old on “The Jeffersons”, how she drove the development of the iconic sitcom “227,” the impact of her fame, her alleged feud with Jackée Harry, and the producer credit she was robbed of. Not to mention, a mushroom trip, a psychic moment, and some very married men.
