Tyler Perry Reflects On Getting Rejected By CBS — ‘I Wouldn’t Own Everything That I Own Had I Went That Way’

Perry seemed to show regret in being considered.

“I had an opportunity to do a TV show with CBS. They wanted to do ‘The Tyler Perry Show’ or ‘Two and a Half Men.’ I got into the meetings and it was just — I hated every minute of it. I didn’t like the notes. I just didn’t want to do it. And I was like, ‘God, if I just get out of this, I’ll never look back,’” Perry told Martyn.
