Adrienne Banfield-Norris
Adrienne Banfield-Norris, fondly known as Gammy, has recently inked a representation deal with A3 Artists Agency. Recognized as the matriarch of the popular talk show Red Table Talk, alongside her daughter Jada Pinkett Smith and granddaughter Willow Smith, Norris has become a household name. The trio's significant impact led them to be featured on TIME 100's prestigious list of Most Influential People in 2021. Adding to her accomplishments, Norris received two NAACP Image Award nominations in 2023 for her outstanding hosting and the success of the talk series.
As the heart and soul of Red Table Talk, Norris captivated audiences over five seasons with the show's thought-provoking discussions. The groundbreaking talk series, tackling various subjects, witnessed the convergence of three generations sharing their perspectives on life, relationships, and societal issues. The program gained immense popularity, resulting in the recognition of all three women in the influential TIME 100 list. Building upon this success, Norris expanded her reach by hosting her own podcast, Positively Gam, for two seasons. The podcast showcased her ability to engage with high-profile guests like Tina Knowles-Lawson, Tabitha Brown, and Ashley C. Ford, covering topics ranging from relationships to culture and entertainment.
In 2020, the Red Table Talk franchise diversified its offerings with a spinoff series called Red Table Talk: The Estefans. Hosted by Gloria Estefan, alongside her daughter Emily and niece Lili, this new iteration of the show explored unique perspectives within the Estefan family. The expansion demonstrated the enduring appeal of the Red Table Talk concept and further solidified Norris's influence in the industry.
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Norris initially pursued a career in nursing, dedicating over 25 years to the profession. However, her passion for entertainment beckoned, and she decided to make a transition. Norris made her television debut alongside her husband, Rodney, in Season 6 of the acclaimed docuseries Black Love, featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network. This opportunity allowed her to showcase her authenticity and relatability, captivating audiences with her personal journey.
Now, with her recent signing with A3 Artists Agency, Norris has secured professional representation in all areas of her career. This partnership promises to open new doors and present exciting opportunities for the multi-talented host and personality. A3 Artists Agency boasts an impressive roster of clients and a proven track record in guiding talent to new heights.
Alongside her representation with A3 Artists Agency, Norris is also managed by Fallon Jethroe at Hello Fallon Entertainment. This collaborative effort ensures comprehensive support and strategic guidance to further elevate her career.
