On today's show, Tyler Perry describes his alter ego Madea—the character at the center of his film "Diary of a Mad Black Woman." Plus, we'll hear about a new documentary about a small courthouse in Cameroon. Also on the show: a look at the art of character acting. And to start it all off, Alvin and Larry Ubell answer your home repair questions.
