Kyle Massey left no stone unturned in his roast of Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Maday.
The couple, who celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in June, were put in the hot seat by Raven-Symoné’s former That’s So Raven costar in the Thursday (Oct. 29) episode of Tea Time with Raven & Miranda. Following his time on That’s So Raven during its four-season run, Massey starred on spinoff Cory in the House for two seasons in the late 2000s. A third spinoff, Raven’s Home, starred the titular actress until it concluded in 2023 after six seasons.
Among Massey’s wisecracks early in the Halloween special above, he joked rumors about that Maday was the actress’ “handler.”
“Miranda, they say that they say that you are Raven's handler. Everybody thinks you're in control of everything she does, all of her decisions, all the shit she says, all the stupid shit she says. I'm here to set the record straight,” Massey said around the 3-minute mark.
“Miranda, there's no way you could be her handler. No one can handle Raven,” he continued. “She can't handle standing in front of a microphone and speaking without pissing everybody off. Raven, are you aware that we can hear you?”
Massey also teased Maday about her repeatedly admitting that she had never watched That’s So Raven before meeting her now-wife — an admission that has gotten her publicly ridiculed.
“Never could find the remote, but you watched Even Stevens even though there was no n***as on it,” he joked.
Following the roast, the hosts caught up with Massey, and Raven-Symoné also clarified a past remark about not considering the Baxter family on That’s So Raven to be Black.
"You had people from every country watching a Black family, but they saw themselves in that family, which means we were universal," Raven-Symoné explained. "There are some shows that I look at, I don't see myself in the character because the cultural aspect of it is so minuscule that it's not universal."
