J. Ricc Rollins II is an award-winning television talk show host, creator, producer, author and storyteller whose career in television spans decades.
Long before Really?!! with Ricc Rollins, audiences knew Ricc from Up Front with Ricc Rollins and the award-winning Goin’ Places with Ricc Rollins. Along the way, he has built a career around something deceptively simple: conversation.
Ricc has interviewed an extraordinary range of people, including Patti LaBelle, Angela Bassett, Jerry Springer, Jesse Jackson, Tavis Smiley, Terry McMillan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tracee Ellis Ross, Eugene Levy, Kelly Clarkson, Tamron Hall, Daphne Oz, Shirley Caesar and Vickie Winans. More recently, television audiences have also seen him as a contributor on TV One’s Fatal Attraction.
But television is only part of Ricc’s story.
He is also an author, publisher, creative entrepreneur, style architect and pastor—a collection of roles that may seem unrelated until you realize that each one centers on the same thing: people. How we see ourselves. How we see one another. What we believe. What we wear. What we create. And, perhaps most importantly, what happens when we actually sit down and talk to each other.
Now Ricc returns to the host’s chair with Really?!! with Ricc Rollins, bringing with him the curiosity, humor and interviewing style that have defined his work from the beginning.
Because after all these years, Ricc still believes one thing:
Conversations can change things. And some conversations are simply worth having.
