However, it wasn\u2019t as fond of a recollection as you might expect, as she actually felt the show was overlooked by the wider television industry during its generational run.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"load-later load-later-vendor-twittercom\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/creativeburne\/status\/2088054424249737222\" data-content=\"%3Cblockquote%20class%3D%22twitter-tweet%22%20data-width%3D%22500%22%20data-dnt%3D%22true%22%3E%3Cp%20lang%3D%22en%22%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3ETracee%20Ellis%20Ross%20says%20a%20show%20with%20a%20quarter%20of%20her%20viewership%20got%20the%20Late%20Night%20bookings%20that%20she%20never%20did%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%26quot%3Bnever%20asked%20on%20a%20late%20night%20show.%20No.%20it%20was%20Jay%20Leno%20and%20I%20had%20girlfriends%20and%20the%20comment%20was%20%26%2339%3Bwe%20love%20Tracee%20call%20us%20when%20she%20gets%20something%26%2339%3B%20while%20on%20girlfriends%26quot%3B%E2%80%A6%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FmFCM7xQj9q%22%3Epic.twitter.com%2FmFCM7xQj9q%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%26mdash%3B%20CreativeDude%20%28%40creativeburne%29%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fcreativeburne%2Fstatus%2F2088054424249737222%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw%22%3EAugust%2014%2C%202026%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fblockquote%3E%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.x.com%2Fwidgets.js%22%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blackamericaweb.com\/playlist\/tracee-ellis-ross-ship-has-sailed-girlfriends-reboot-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Still There Through Thick And Thin? Tracee Ellis Ross Says \u201cShip Has Sailed\u201d On <em>Girlfriends<\/em> Reboot<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blackamericaweb.com\/2026\/08\/06\/girlfriends-reunite-tracee-ellis-ross-broadway-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Girlfriends<\/em> Cast Reunite For Tracee Ellis Ross\u2019 Broadway Debut<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 53-year-old actress expressed to Noah in detail the various ways <em>Girlfriends<\/em> ultimately received the short end of the stick, including zero invites to promote the series on the primetime talk shows of the time and no nominations at the major award ceremonies. For <em>The Jay Leno Show<\/em> specifically, she told the podcast, <em>\u201cI had \u2018Girlfriends\u2019 [on-air], and the comment was, \u2018We love Tracee! Call us when she gets something,&#8217;\u201d <\/em>expressing her shock by adding, <em>\u201cI remember thinking, \u2018What?! Like, what else do you have to get?&#8217;\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For reference, over the span of eight seasons and 172 episodes, <em>Girlfriends<\/em> received only one Emmy nomination for \u201cOutstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series.\u201d Comparing that to <em>Sex And The City<\/em>, the popular HBO series that many saw as the white counterpart to <em>Girlfriends<\/em>, the nominations and wins for Sarah Jessica Parker and crew simply don\u2019t compare. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ross herself used the USA Network series <em>Monk<\/em> as an example, explaining that even with 25% of the viewership <em>Girlfriends<\/em> had at the time, star Tony Shalhoub had no problem getting a seat on late-night television. \u201cIs it just racism?,\u201d Ross rhetorically asks Trevor Noah, but something tells us she might be onto something.
