(Shaking head) Is that what you learned in Howard?

ANTHONY ANDERSON: I learned a lot of things in Howard. You know what I learned? I learned how to survive and that’s what kept me on my game. I was accepted into Howard, got there with $900 in my pocket, I had a $950 Pell grant and I had no housing. So Howard taught me how to survive in the real world. And I was only 18 years old and I didn’t know anybody in DC. So that’s what it taught me. And because of the skills that I was able to learn when I was there as a student, its allowed me to navigate in life.

“How’s Guys With Kids” treating you?

It’s great man! Jimmy Fallon exec produces it and created it. He also sings our theme song. I’ve known Jimmy for a little more ten 10 years now. Just on a personal level, he’s a great guy. He called me out of the blue and said I have this show that I’m doing with NBC and I want you to be apart of it. And here we are a year later with 17 shows in the can. I can’t be mad at that.

How did you feel being attached to “Guys With Kids” when “All My Baby Mamas” with Shawty Lo came along?

You know, I’ve only heard about “All My Baby Mamas” with Shawty Lo. I’ve never seen it. I understand I may never see it.

Yeah, it may go down like that….

It SHOULD go down like the titanic. There’s a place for everything and an audience for everything. But when you have sponsors threatening to pull their advertising dollars from your network because of the content that they’ve become accustomed to kind of strays to the left, um something has to be said for that. Something has to be said for a reality program that’s dealing with a real-life situations and people when the people don’t want to see it. I’ve yet to see the show so I can’t make my own personal judgment, I’m just going on based on what I hear.

I only saw the trailer.

I’ve heard about the trailer and from what I hear, more power to him but it’s not something I would want to watch or have my children watch. Just being real. I support everybody’s hustle out there. Like there’s some things out there that Shawty Lo may not want to watch or think is trash. I can’t think of anything, but there might be! Might be “My Baby’s Daddy”. I don’t know…
