Uncensored is returning for a seventh season on TV One, with the premiere episode featuring actor Anthony Anderson discussing a pivotal moment in his life: his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis at age 30.
A Wake-Up Call
Anderson described experiencing unusual fatigue and lethargy, including falling asleep during commercials – behaviors he says were uncharacteristic for him. He recalled a specific night where he consumed five gallons of water between 11:30 p.m. And 2 a.m., constantly alternating between drinking and using the restroom.
The upcoming episode will also explore Anderson’s early life and a period where he considered selling drugs to make ends meet. He ultimately decided against it, recalling the negative consequences he witnessed for friends and neighbors – imprisonment or death. He also spoke candidly about the strong disciplinary approach of his parents.
Beyond his health and past challenges, Anderson will share insights into his pursuit of a Hollywood career, setbacks like leaving Howard University and his journey to success.

This season of Uncensored will also feature interviews with Keke Palmer, Blair Underwood, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Kiera Sheard, and Wood Harris, among others. Each episode aims to provide an intimate look at the experiences that shaped these individuals’ careers and helped them overcome obstacles.
