...When they kept saying that Nia Long's charachter was "sort of light"...
Her skin tone was a lovely shade that was almost identical to Whoopi's...at least that's what it seemed when their faces were right next to each other.
As someone who has a lot of european in her African-American bloodlines that whole thing just didn't make sense to me.
I think they were referring to Nia's character being lighter than Whoopi's character. She was saying from contrast to her mother, she was a little lighter in complexion.
"She's the kitten that the cats prefer."
It was probably bad script writing. It was in the script but didn't think they'd hire Nia Long. The Cosby joke was hilarious though!
