Over 25 years after ‘The Golden Girls’ – comprised of Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White, and Estelle Getty – originally went off the air, their stories are set to shine once again courtesy of Tracee Ellis Ross.
Full story below…
The Golden Globe winning actress has assembled an all-star cast for a special imagining of the hit sitcom.
Embracing the power of the internet, the ‘Black-ish’ star has called on some of Black Hollywood’s leading ladies – namely Academy Award winner Regina King, Alfre Woodard, and Sanaa Lathan – to perform their own take on classic show on Zoom.
A description of the refreshed version, which premieres tonight (Sept 8) at 6/9 ET read:
“We bring to you our rendition of Golden Girls, reimagined with an all-Black cast of your favorite actresses: Alfre Woodard, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sanaa Lathan, and Regina King, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and hosted by Lena Waithe.
This event is in partnership with Zoom, and the first episode is spotlighting and supporting Color of Change — the nation’s largest online racial justice organization.
We’ll be tuning in. Will you?
Ridiculous loool
Some black actors have no honour nor integrity.
Hunny, u can’t be serious. This ain’t Sister Act or Dreamgirls…. they ruined the originality.
The original version is better
disgrace to the legacy of the show
Why can’t they be creative these days? So tired of those remakes just to redo them with more ethnicity or out of lack of ideas. Think of own stories and themes.
Y’all do realize this is gonna be a move Zoom version?! Calm the f*** down. What are you doing with your life ?
Mess stop this right now. Nobody asked for this
Why do we need this?! Just don’t
Y’all are gonna hate me for this, but whatever I don’t care. Can white people have anything for themselves?
Isn’t this just like a one-off tho lol…it doesn’t seem like a full on remake show, just something cute 👀 that will leave quickly (thank God) 😂 Now, back to the iconic masterpiece that is the original Golden Girls! 🤳🏽 This is the Golden Gworls 🤣 Plus, the majority of the cast are too young (and look too young) anyways 💯
I rather have them bringing back Whoopi Goldberg & Lauryn Hill for Sister Act 3: Holy Moly😂🤣😂🤣😂
“… the first episode is spotlighting and supporting Color of Change — the nation’s largest online racial justice organization.”
So there will be more episodes SMH lawwwwwd!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Can black people keep something…. like jazz, rap, Vogueing, bluegrass, and the list goes on! Read a book hunny, racist trash.
We didn’t ask for this. I hope this is just a zoom thing.
Yep, I think this is exactly that…just a zoom thang lol 😂 👀

Honestly they had no business doing this
These great women are smart enough to know better. It’s like picking up the scraps that fell from a table we weren’t invited to originally. They don’t have to accept this.
Leeches. This is literally the dumbest and rudest thing I’ve heard today thus far. Actually in a LONG time SMH.
Wth??? This is like golden girls falling from grace & turned in to ghetto women on the street corner 🙄🙄🙄🙄
😂😂😊😂🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
The Golden Girls were white ladies of a certain age. They can not be replaced. If they are to be replaced with Ethnic Minority women then it can not be Golden but Muddy Brown Girls.
Wish black people would stop appropriating white culture
BLM is now looting hit sitcom shows lol
Clarkson, you are pathetic! Grow up and seriously get a life!
Only two people tuning in will be EyeOpine and tyty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😱💀
You still got a hard-on for me freak?
Yeah so sit on it b****
That’s the same thing Black people say when the world takes from their culture and make money off it! So the answer to your question is HELL NO! When I saw the photo I knew their were gonna be some racist comments.
I think this is a great idea! What’s wrong with these talented, award-winning actresses paying tribute to a legendary sitcom like the Golden Girls? It’s a one-off on Zoom for charity. You guys will b**** and complain about anything.
Sorry white peoples but the golden girls was dry just like y’all skin.
It’s actually not lol…if you were like me, you were a kid when it first came out…try watching it now, it’s for grown folks 💯
Not as dry as your moms Cochise though.
Heard she had to give birth to you through her àss
*c******
Girl bye long feet h**
Bish please black people are known for having dry ashy skin just look at their elbows, knees, and hair.
Bish BYE, your white ass is USING my screen name, you obsessed Shayla ClarkFOOL…you WISH you were black, OBVIOUSLY 😂 You come to this site everyday so you can be something YOU ARE NOT 🤣 STAY retarded lol…it takes a REAL delusional hater to diss something they LOVE 💯
Yes. We love to see you struggling in life based on your ashy dark skincolor
An all black cast does not equal Diversity… Yawn
So EVERY white cast member of popular shows need to be re imagined with other actors that are black because ?
What is there NO ONE able to think of new concepts and shows ? All things need to be “redone” in different colour because?
So sick of things being replaced all because someone doesn’t like the shade of colour the actors have or are just to Effen lazy to come up with something else . #Annie #TheWiz etc etc
