“Sex In The Kitchen”
Regina Hall has jokes. None of the juvenile your-mama-so-stupid-she-thought-Tupac-Shakur-was-a-Jewish-holiday variety. She’d rather make you guffaw by making light of the word cunt. Gushing with adult humor, the 30-something DC native—with a Master’s degree in journalism, thank you very much—has ripened something lovely since she’s blessed the sliver screen with a small role, Candy the stripper, in The Best Man. She’s an unofficial Wayans sister thanks to her recurring role in the Scary Movie franchise, and in Malibu’s Most Wanted she straightened out Jamie Kennedy’s punk ass and became the around-the-way ideal for white boys with Down Syndrome. This summer, she takes the leap to blockbuster status in the long-awaited Honeymooners remake, where she, in the role of Trixie, helps Cedric The Entertainer, Mike Epps, and Gabrielle Union colorize the classic black-and-white sitcom.
Shunning “stupid,” her least favorite word:
“There’s just something about it that’s hurtful. And of course, there’s ‘cunt.’”
Slightly retracting the previous statement based on her time in Ireland:
“I do have to say that the accent makes it a little better. [laughs] Cahnt.”
Discussing the fish-out-of-water experience of being Black in Ireland:
“At first, I was really feeling like that, but once we got there and started working everyone was so friendly. I mean, we could get cabs. Consistently.”
