Still Standing: Jason Weaver on Resilience, ATL, and What's Next

Still Standing: Jason Weaver on Resilience, ATL, and What's Next

Author: The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts May 27, 2026 Duration: 23:07

Loren LoRosa sits down with actor and entertainer Jason Weaver — known for his roles in ATL and as the singing voice of young Simba in The Lion King — for a candid conversation that goes way beyond the highlight reel. They open up about the anxiety that comes with being a provider in uncertain times, why it's okay to feel uneasy even when things are going well, and how pressing forward through the doubt is what signals to the universe you're ready. Jason breaks down the real reason an ATL sequel hasn't happened yet, what it would take to make it a reality, and why Black creatives need ownership over their intellectual properties. Plus, he reveals his brand new late night talk show Leave It to Weaver, launching this summer with 85 South — and why he believes now is exactly the right time to bring that Arsenio Hall energy back. This one's for the culture.

You’re tuning into the unfiltered, unpredictable energy of weekday mornings with The Breakfast Club. Hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God have built what’s been called the world’s most dangerous morning show, and this podcast captures every chaotic, insightful, and hilarious moment. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a table where no topic is off-limits-current events, celebrity interviews, and raw social commentary all get dissected with equal parts humor and blunt honesty. The chemistry between the three hosts is the real engine here; their debates, personal stories, and spontaneous tangents often become the main event. Listening means you’re in the room for genuine reactions, whether it’s a heated discussion or a moment of unexpected vulnerability. This isn’t a polished, scripted conversation-it’s the sound of three distinct personalities navigating the day’s headlines and their own lives, usually at the same time. For a daily dose of comedy that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, this podcast delivers the unique blend of chaos and clarity that has defined its reputation.
