Kym Whitley Celebrates New Movie ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ at Game Night

On July 25th lifetime memories were made at Mari Morrow’s infamous ‘friends like family’ game night; which was more than just cards, dominoes, and laughter—it was a heartfelt celebration. ‘Friends like family’ gathered to welcome home actress Mari Morrow’s mom, Corrine Morrow, who finally returned from the hospice house to continue her recovery since her stroke 2 years ago which paralyzed the left side of her body.

Ms Morrow was so happy to recieve her floweres while she was still with us, and extremely happy to have so many visitors.

Adding to the excitement, comedy powerhouse Kym Whitley was in the house(literally). It felt only right to give a round of applause to the 2-time NAACP Image Awards (Outstanding Lifestyle & Self‑Help Podcast in 2022 Outstanding Arts & Entertainment Podcast in 2023) winner for her hit podcast 2 Funny Mamas alonside Sherri Shepherd. The crowd also celebrated her latest big move: landing a role in Happy Gilmore 2, which premiered on Netflix on Friday, July 24th. Ironically on movie night. It was a double celebration!

The room buzzed with joy as tables overflowed with classic favorites—Spades, Connect Four, Jenga, Uno—and a friendly game of dominoes. All teams on deck were ready for friendly rivalries and plenty of smack talk.

Between the games, the laughter, and the love in the room, it was a night that reminded everyone of the joy of togetherness—and the resilience of family.
