American comedian and television host Loni Love has recreated the fake pregnancy tummy looks by rapper Lil Nas X for the 2021 Halloween episode of ‘The Real.’
The Real is an American syndicated talk show created by SallyAnn Salsano (495 Productions). The series initially received a trial run on Fox-owned markets in the summer of 2013 and premiered for full syndication in 2014.
The series is currently co-hosted by Loni, singer Adrienne Bailon, television host Jeannie Mai, and actress Garcelle Beauvais.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in the Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects, Love started her comedic career in 2003, after appearing on Star Search, reaching the finals and losing in a close competition to winner John Roy. Since then, she has appeared in films and numerous television shows.
Prior to her career as a comedian, she was an electrical engineer, an experience she talks about in many of her acts. In 2016, Love won the ninth season Worst Cooks in America in 2016, winning $50,000 for her chosen charity.
In 2018, Love and her Real co-hosts won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host for their work.
In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Love hosts a show on Instagram Live under the hashtag #quarantinewithloni. Love’s show attracts 50,000 to 100,000 viewers. Since January 2021, Love has been a recurring guest judge on Season 13 of Rupaul’s Drag Race.
