142
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: Is it because I have a flip phone or it

00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 4: might be you that flip phote. I'm very old school,

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: you are. I was born in the seventies.

145
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Oh, we know. It says a lot about you early.

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: So this is this is what I want to know.

147
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: You know, I started studying like when the pandemic started.

148
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: Season one was you know where I fell into the

149
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: rabbit hole? And of course season two and season three,

150
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: I've watched each episode maybe like ten times each and

151
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: there's so many meta hidden jokes inside of each episode.

152
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: It's almost like you're seeing it for the first time,

153
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 4: blinking you missed it. Can you walk us through how

154
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: you get inspiration? Because I feel like you're covering everything

155
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: that I've not seen television cover as far as like

156
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: black comedy is concerned.

157
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think without giving away all the secret sauce.

158
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 6: I think for us it was like we didn't want

159
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 6: to give y'all. We were going to have something called

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: a Black Lady Sketch show. We wanted to give you layers.

161
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 6: We wanted people to feel seen. We wanted to like

162
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 6: create something that was cinematically the most beautiful sketch show ever.

163
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 6: We wanted to have black women look good and all

164
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 6: light like. It was just important. So so in order

165
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 6: to do that, we wanted to really layer the show

166
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: so it wasn't just a funny character. There were also

167
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 6: crossover elements between sketches because I knew, have y'all seen

168
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 6: Season three? Okay, perfect, perfect, So spoilers for anybody who hasn't,

169
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 6: but y'all seem to be good. So I knew what

170
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: was gonna happen in the finale, and I knew that

171
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 6: the women over these three seasons, it wasn't really the

172
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 6: end of the world.

173
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 9: It's the end of the world?

174
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 6: Is we all know it? Because what world would have

175
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 6: elected doctor had also president?

176
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Wait, you're spoiler alearning from Oh.

177
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 6: No, they've seen it.

178
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 9: You haven't seen the finale?

179
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: Okay, cool?

180
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 6: Who I didn't see the finale? Final?

181
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, alright, all the fans are in this audience, every

182
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: single listen. Here's the thing. And I admitted this in

183
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: the book.

184
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: I have things, mamhow Oh yes, yes, I thought.

185
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 9: That was my people have been watching my career more

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 9: a while.

187
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 2: No.

188
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: I was saying that whenever I watch any series, especially

189
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 4: in streaming, it's something about the penultimate episode. In the

190
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: final episode, I won't watch it until I know that

191
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: season four is ready.

192
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 9: Okay, So anyway, that's so dump.

193
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: Thank you, Oh Robin, I've been waiting for that moment go.

194
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 9: Ahead with so you're gonna get it spoiled. I'm so sorry.

195
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 6: But but I knew that the world was going to

196
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 6: be the end of the world storyline was gonna be

197
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 6: wrapped up so we could.

198
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 9: Kind of start something new in season four.

199
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 6: So the layers, without getting into the spoilers, are really

200
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 6: important to me because I wanted the characters to start

201
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 6: to meet, as you saw happen in the finale. I

202
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 6: won't tell you who, but they all start. They start

203
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 6: to meet, The world starts to kind of fold in

204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 6: on itself to create new possibilities for these women now

205
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: that they're evolved. So there's that story within a story.

206
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 6: But then the scat you start to realize if you

207
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 6: look in the background, it's like, oh, that Patti LaBelle

208
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 6: poster from all my own Season one is in a sketch.

209
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: Season three is in what if I'm.

210
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 9: Three in season three.

211
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 6: And like stuff is like starting to characters are starting.

212
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 9: To meet, things are starting to happen.

213
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: So I knew if we could do that, we could

214
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: create this Black Lady Multiverse with these characters that you

215
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 6: guys are Black Lady Multiverse, Black Lady Multiverse.

216
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 11: And so I'm excited for you guys to see now

217
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 11: what can happen with them because you know that any

218
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 11: of them can interact like doctor Hedasa can meet you know,

219
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 11: the Coral Reeves, like Chris can meet Trinity or whatever.

220
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 9: Right, so it's exciting just asking for a.

221
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: Friend, what's the sign for Black Lady Multiverse? There it is,

222
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,679

Speaker 2: I love that. That was amazing.

225
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 10: Moving on, the signers at the Roose pic nigs have

226
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 10: always been legendary.

227
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 6: Can I ask you yo?

228
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: I know Soude that was on to reach set. He's

229
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: he's like on Twitter.

230
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, more than the roots, because when you put your

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 6: body in its next level. But let me let me

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 6: ask this general. Black ladies.

233
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 10: Guess your question because I always want to notice as

234
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 10: a watcher, how much are the ladies that we see

235
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 10: that are a part of the show involved in the writing.

236
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 10: And if they're not, like how much, say how does

237
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 10: that go? How does that that labor work? I know

238
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 10: there are other people we don't see in the background.

239
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 6: The ladies that we do see are Emmy nominated writers. Yes, yeah,

240
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 6: so Ashley Nicole Black wrote on seasons one and two.

241
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 6: She's amazing, She's so sick. But that's it. That's the

242
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 6: only person who's written besides me, So Gab Quinta sky Lady.

243
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 6: None of them wrote. But but that's not to take

244
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 6: away from their creative collaborations. I was gonna say, the

245
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 6: improv must be them is crazy. They also bring the

246
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: looks how they want their characters to look. They design

247
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 6: that piece by piece with all of our black lady

248
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 6: glam departments. So no dabs are people? She from Philly?

249
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 10: She I thought she was from Philly. Oh Ship, sometimes

250
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 10: you get.

251
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 6: Out I like the people I like to you, said DC,

252
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 6: Ohio and DC. Yeah, she kind of lived on my

253
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 6: other hometown. Why am I telling all her business?

254
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: Right? So what happened was when she was like watching tennis.

255
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 4: I know, so if I were betting man, when I

256
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: when I go tonight to watch the finality, which I.

257
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 9: Will, which I've spoiled.

258
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm assuming that Quinta makes a return to the show.

259
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 6: Correct, I didn't say that.

260
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm assuming though, right?

261
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 9: Why would you assume that because he's wearing hairs?

262
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 6: I don't know.

263
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 9: Does she make a return to the show. Are we

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 9: gonna tell him?

265
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 6: They're not gonna tell these are my mother fucking people.

266
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 6: They're not gonna tell you?

267
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: Is quest Love Superior is the only podcast in which

268
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: everyone actually hates those.

269
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: So true?

270
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 6: And that's not true?

271
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 9: How happy are we for Quinta? This woman is killing?

272
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 6: Oh we proud? Oh no, that pretty Philly is proud.

273
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 6: She's very hard, best, she's the best.

274
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: Robin be supreme.

275
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 9: Now I got enough, I got enough to do to

276
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 9: do It's fine.

277
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, So that's what I want to know.

278
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: As far as the crafting, does it start with like

279
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: out of a dream, like oh we should do blah

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah blah blah, like when you did

281
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 4: the hair sketch that was the cold open for season three.

282
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 9: The product purge?

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 6: Yes?

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: So is there just a sort of a think board

285
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: on Yeah, I'm going on No, No, here's how you

286
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 4: get then like, they'll have no book.

287
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 6: Our show is very interesting, so we only have like

288
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 6: seven writers and they write everything.

289
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 9: So they come in.

290
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: They come in with a pitch that has a beginning, middle, twist,

291
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 6: and end. Like they come in with their raw, their

292
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 6: own concepts. Because it was really important to me that

293
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 6: this it's not a Robin Thede sketch show.

294
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 9: It's a black lady sketch show. So it's really important

295
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 9: that we have different points of view. So no, they

296
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 9: come in.

297
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 6: And that was actually Akuila Green who wrote that. Who's credible.

298
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 6: She works on Black Monday and a bunch of other shows.

299
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 6: She actually wrote that in season two, but we couldn't

300
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 6: shoot it till season three because we couldn't have one

301
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 6: hundred women running down the street during COVID.

302
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 9: So so yeah, she just came in and pitches.

303
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 6: She was like, what if, like the movie The Purge,

304
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 6: black women had fifteen minutes to return all their unused

305
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 6: hair products and get a full refundy, Like how chaotic

306
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 6: would that be? And I was like, yes, go write that,

307
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 6: you know, but yeah, the way, I gotta give the

308
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 6: writer's credit. I write a lot of these sketches too,

309
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 6: but it's it is collaborative. Like sometimes they'll be like, Okay,

310
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: I have an idea, it's like Romeo and Juliet, but

311
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 6: we're not sure what to do with it. And I'm like, okay, Ben,

312
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 6: let's put that together with the stand culture sketch and

313
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 6: do it. And I am at pentameter and then you

314
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 6: get Roman Julyssa, you know, so we it's very collaborative too.

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: Now working at thirty Rock, I often meet writers who

316
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: at SNL getting their feelings if their.

317
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Sketch doesn't make it to the show, So how are you? Also,

318
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: do you have to play the bad guy at the

319
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: show as the leader of the show?

320
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 6: And yeah, sometimes, but I think we all kind of

321
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 6: know which sketches are rising to the top, so we'll

322
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: do like internal table reads and perform it and you know,

323
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 6: critique it.

324
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 9: But I think it's pretty clear by the time we

325
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 9: go to our shooting scripts what's gonna work.

326
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 6: But no, they don't get their feelings hurt because everybody

327
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 6: gets sketches on. Because we have so few writers, everybody

328
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 6: gets sketches on. So do y'all ever get pushed back

329
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: from HBO?

330
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 9: Like has there ever been a subject that was or

331
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 9: no taboo.

332
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 6: No, it's HBO. You can do anything, but.

333
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 10: Can you You're the first black lead Craft Country?

334
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: What's that Craft Country?

335
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 9: Okay, well, look, don't talk no mess.

336
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 6: I don't know about that.

337
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: It got nineteen nominations now.

338
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 10: Right, but it wasn't there because he didn't want to

339
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 10: continue the person that did it.

340
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, Robin don't want to be on that

341
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 6: side of it.

342
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 9: I don't want to do I don't want to I

343
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 9: don't want to get involved.

344
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 6: I love that show. Yeah, I think for us, No,

345
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 6: we really don't get any pushback. I think it's just

346
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 6: like the funniest stuff rises to the top and they

347
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 6: just say, you know, be true to the show. But

348
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 6: we really don't get a lot of puchback. There's no

349
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 6: real taboo subjects. They've never said, oh, don't do that.

350
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 10: What's the sketches that y'all? I had problems getting through

351
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 10: because y'all just been dying.

352
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 6: I just need to know, like, have y'all ever been dying?

353
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 6: Laughing so hard? It has been hard to get you

354
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 6: know what we're performing?

355
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 10: Oh, my guys, and my mind was I'm going to

356
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 10: take it back to the to the courtroom, but I

357
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 10: feel like that was likely courtroom.

358
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: Well, Lisa is very easy to break, so I could. Yeah,

359
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 6: I messed with her really bad. Whenever she's in a sketch,

360
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 6: She's like, why are you always with me in every sketch.

361
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: That I do?

362
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 10: And I'm like, I don't know, but I know it's

363
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 10: because I want to mess with It looks like, y'all

364
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 10: you're challenging her, You're trying to whole face and look

365
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 10: like you're holding fast, Like, bitch, how long your sketch?

366
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 6: Every sketch, not just Issa, all of our casts. My

367
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 6: job is to make them break, but they're so good

368
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 6: they don't. The Last Supper and The Resurrection, like those

369
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 6: disciple At sketches are really hard to get through anything with,

370
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: Like Gabrielle as the head of the Coral Reefs at least,

371
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 6: it's hard to get through. A lot of them are

372
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 6: really hard to get through, to be honest, especially this season.

373
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 6: The improv is crazy, Like the outtakes are so much longer.

374
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: We have so much stuff we couldn't even show you

375
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 6: guys because we have a time limit. Like there's so

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 6: many jokes that the world will liver see.

377
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 10: I have a dream world where like Larry David does

378
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 10: a guest spot on The Black Ladies Sketch Show and

379
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 10: it's like Battle.

380
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 6: Of the Improv.

381
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: That's your dream world.

382
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: That's to have a lot of dream worlds. They're about

383
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 6: twenty thousand.

384
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 9: That's like, can you guys tell her why that would

385
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 9: be impossible.

386
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 10: Because it's a Black Lady Sketch show and there are

387
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 10: no white people on The Black Ladies Sketch Show.

388
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 6: Never, not one. Oh I'm cool with that, not even

389
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 6: in the background bad not even not even out the

390
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 6: art on the walls.

391
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: I love that.

392
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 9: Correct where black women. I love Larry play all of

393
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 9: the characters the.

394
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: Multitude to start back at season.

395
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 9: One, never even in ature on a wall.

396
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 6: Oh my god, is that what freedom looks like? That's

397
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 6: what the finale is saying, Like, when you live in

398
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 6: this book whatever, you have to watch a finale, But

399
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 6: when you live in this world and you get to

400
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 6: evolve to your then you get to enter into this

401
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 6: world where we are free of the gaze of anyone else.

402
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 9: And to me, that's Mecca, that's heaven.

403
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: That's so yeah, because isn't that amazing? And it's not

404
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 6: like I got lost for a second I'm sorry. Well,

405
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 6: I know it's not at the exclusion of anyone else,

406
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 6: it's just at the celebration of us. I'm like, if

407
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: I have a chance to create something on HBO, like,

408
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: let me create this dream scenario. I think it frees

409
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 6: up the comedy too, right, because I don't want to

410
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 6: do a Karen sketch or microaggression sketch, Like I don't want.

411
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 12: To do that.

412
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 9: I'm not saying they don't have value.

413
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 6: We don't do that. Wow, we don't got to rewatch

414
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: it because you got you gotta caster. Well, because I

415
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 6: don't want to re traumatize us. I want you to

416
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: have thirty minutes of joy, like I want you to

417
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 6: you know, my god joy.

418
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: So no white Jewish guys at all.

419
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 9: No, no, I'm sorry.

420
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: They probably pay a bill or something, but not even

421
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: like the biggest white Jewish guy, right David, Nope, not no, sorry,

422
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: So where I.

423
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: Know that for a lot of sketch comedians.

424
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: Uh there, Mecca is Second City or like in Chicago

425
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: or Bright Citizens.

426
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, was it? You see b if you are black? Like,

427
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: is there what's the version of that?

428
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 6: No, No, there's not it.

429
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 9: It's now my show.

430
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 6: But no, I think because I did Second City and

431
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: I owe and I've done some shows at uc B,

432
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 6: but no, they're not actually just joined the advisory board

433
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: or Second City because I think we need to do

434
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 6: better and we need to invite us in legitimately, not

435
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 6: us in to be tokens in a class. We need

436
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 6: to legitimately have experiences that are authentic and that teach

437
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 6: us how to hone our comedy, not how to do

438
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 6: somebody else's comedy, how to do ours.

439
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 9: So yeah, no, I think I think we're.

440
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 6: Gonna We're gonna try some things to help out the

441
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: school that raised me. And you know, I think we

442
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 6: got a long way to go, but we're definitely working

443
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 6: at it.

444
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: Impressive.

445
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: I love my enjoyment because you know, like I live

446
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: in a world where everyone's always improving, and like with music,

447
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 4: I can handle it, but with words, I can't handle it.

448
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: And I feel like the person that said on a

449
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: you know, double dutching that can't get inside the roop,

450
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: Like I'm constantly.

451
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 6: Like, well you saw me. The moment music was playing,

452
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 6: I floundered. I couldn't even rhyme with my own last name.

453
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: But I think, yeah, I think the answer is always yes.

454
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, it's yes and no, but nobody but you

455
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 6: know what's interesting, But we don't. It's not that hard.

456
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 6: It's not like an improv school on our set. It's

457
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 6: like we're just trying to make a funny ass show.

458
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 6: So wherever we go, we'll just follow, like you know,

459
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 6: Gabrielle in those in the Resurrections sketches especially but the

460
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 6: Last Supper, just because I mentioned that, when she comes

461
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: in the scene as Mary, we know she's just gonna

462
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: be chaos. So she plays Mary Magdalen, and we've made

463
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 6: her this like mean girl to these other women who

464
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 6: aren't invited.

465
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 9: To any of the disciple events, and she is.

466
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 6: She's just so we know when she.

467
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 9: Comes in, it's just gonna be a mess.

468
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 6: She's gonna do what's scripted, but everything else is gonna

469
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 6: go out of the window.

470
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 9: So we just follow each other.

471
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 6: Really well, I think for us it's not necessarily yes.

472
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 9: Anne, but it's just follow.

473
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 6: Where they take you and anybody can move the story along,

474
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: but as long as we all go together.

475
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 9: So I think that's what you see on the screen,

476
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 9: especially in season three.

477
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: How many people have reached out to you about like

478
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 4: getting on the show or like I know that you

479
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 4: added sky to the oh.

480
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 6: For the cast or celebrity guests.

481
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh, not even a celebrity guests.

482
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 10: I just mean, like, for it, do regular people because

483
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 10: I want to know my way of doing it, because

484
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 10: I just be stalking you every six months ahead to

485
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 10: be doing well.

486
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 6: You know what's funny for the core cast, because we really.

487
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: Don't Now I don't know what the fuck just happened over.

488
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 9: Skin these men.

489
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 6: No, for the core cast, we don't really change it

490
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: that much. I mean we add takeaway each season one

491
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 6: or two maybe, I guess.

492
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 9: But people don't really approach me for that. They tag

493
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 9: me mostly in like people's tiktoks.

494
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 6: But I'm like, here's the thing. If you can't do

495
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 6: a hundred impressions and characters, like, I don't know what

496
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 6: to tell hundred. Yeah, we've all in three seasons, those

497
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 6: of us who have been there since day one have

498
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 6: played over one hundred characters in eighteen episodes. So it's like,

499
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 6: if you don't have that kind of depth and range,

500
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 6: then people don't. Really, it's way more celebrities pitching than

501
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: people trying to be regulars in the cast. It's a

502
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 6: hard job. It's a hard job. You know, other skeed

503
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 6: sules have big, big cast, but like, we're a small,

504
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 6: scrappy show. We play all the characters, no believe it

505
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 6: or not.

506
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 10: I think a lot of people watch it. With Gabrielle

507
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 10: was like, did not know she had all had depth?

508
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 9: It's crazy.

509
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 6: We were all like wait, even like she's killing it

510
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 6: and she's kills.

511
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, who's this person?

512
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 9: No, y'all sleep on Beautiful Surprise.

513
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 6: It was beautiful. I mean y'all not sleeping, but the

514
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 6: people listening to the podcast, y'all sleeping on Gabrielle. She's

515
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 6: so versatile, she's so incredible. Like people are like, oh,

516
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 6: I just knew her on the game and I didn't

517
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 6: like her, and it's like, okay, but this one so

518
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 6: I met her. She actually beat me out for a

519
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 6: sketch show on Showtime when that Damon Wayne's was doing

520
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 6: back in the day. This is like fifteen years ago,

521
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 6: and I remember being at the audition. We were like

522
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 6: the last two and she got it and I heard

523
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 6: her in the room and I was like, shit, she

524
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 6: needs to get that.

525
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 9: She's really good.

526
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 6: So no, I used to watch her doing stand up

527
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 6: back in the day. I used to watch her doing

528
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 6: sketch like she can mimic any singer, And because we

529
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 6: can't afford to do that a lot on the show,

530
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 6: she doesn't really get to use it.

531
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 9: But I'm gonna try to do it more next season.

532
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 10: But she can mimic any singer living or gone. We

533
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 10: should never female singer. We should have her a mirror

534
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 10: should She's incredible. She has an ear for musical mime,

535
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 10: which is incredible. And then she's just got a ton

536
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 10: of characters. You throw anything her way, She's like, I'll

537
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 10: figure it out. She played a character named Steve in

538
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 10: this sketch called Escrow Download, like this dude that just

539
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 10: like had an accent, but it was every accent. She

540
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 10: wasn't supposed to play that character.

541
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 6: It was supposed to be a guest star and we

542
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 6: table read it and she just started doing this character

543
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 6: and I was like, well that's you now, Like it's

544
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 6: just she just like will grab these roles we never

545
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 6: intended to be as funny, you know, we wanted them

546
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 6: to be funny, but the way she takes it to

547
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 6: the n degree is just crazy.

548
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 9: They all do that though.

549
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 6: Sky's really coming into her own Ashley's genius Ashley, and

550
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 6: what's the character at first season?

551
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 9: Trinity?

552
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 10: No black woman who superhero Trinity, nobody knows the world's

553
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 10: most Yes, the world's best Spike.

554
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: She's called the invisible Spike because she's just like a

555
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 6: plus sized black woman who's not wearing makeup, so no

556
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 6: one acknowledges her. I mean that's a statement and a half,

557
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 6: you know, talk about the development of that character.

558
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 9: So she actually brought that to us first season.

559
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 6: She was like, Yo, I think my superpower is being

560
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 6: like a plus sized black woman who just blends in

561
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 6: because nobody even notices I'm there. So she's like, I

562
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 6: want to make that the world's the cia is best spy.

563
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 6: And I was like, that's fucking genius.

564
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 9: So, I mean that's just what she does.

565
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 10: Though.

566
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 9: She just comes up with sketch it so easy.

567
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 6: She also came in the room and goes, what if

568
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 6: Patti LaBelle every time you get broken up.

569
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 9: With makes you sing on my own till you like,

570
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 9: she won't leave until you sing on my own. I

571
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 9: was like, yeah, what about that?

572
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 6: Go write it? Why not?

573
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 9: She came up with black Lady Courtroom. She's amazing.

574
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, she wrote the first one, I wrote the second one.

575
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 9: But yeah, like those those ladies. The writers are so good.

576
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 6: Like I think a lot of people think the magic

577
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 6: just happens on set, but those scripts are incredible.

578
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 10: Whatever it is, it looks like y'all come together like Voltron.

579

Speaker 6: I think she's hilarious. I think she's such a phenomenal actress.

631
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 6: I think she's so funny.

632
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 9: You know, the reason why.

633
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 6: Angela Bassett did the show is she said, I did

634
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: it because you asked, and no one thinks I'm funny.

635
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 9: And she got nominated for an Emmy for Bad.

636
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 6: Bite some war group. Like she's so dope, like and

637
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 6: she's so dope, she's so supportive. She was actually the

638
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: first guest star we booked. We hadn't been on the air,

639
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 6: no one knew what the show was. She was like, Yo,

640
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 6: I like your late night show and I want to

641
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 6: do it. No one thinks I can be funny. She

642
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 6: never these I mean, think about it. These black women

643
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 6: that have been on the show, and the black men

644
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 6: that have been on the show, they none of them

645
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 6: have ever hosted SNL. None of them have ever, And

646
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 6: this is no shade to SNL. It's just like we

647
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 6: just didn't have an outlet for us. You know, that

648
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: was that was dedicated to us. So that's what I

649
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 6: want to try to provide. Oh, we got time.

650
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 9: Let's say questions from the audio.

651
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: That would be so fun.

652
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 10: I mean, whatever you say, am I feel like they

00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 10: Hey, y'all, I'm India, I'm from Texas.

686
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: Hello.

687
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 14: Hey, So my question is, with the show being so amazing,

688
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 14: do you ever have writer's block? Or have you ever

689
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 14: had a sketch come out where it took so long

690
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 14: to produce that you had to prolong it to another season?

691
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: Real life questions.

692
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 6: No, we had some sketches we couldn't make in COVID

693
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 6: because they had like kids, or like a bunch of

694
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: extras or whatever. But no, we never had to postpone

695
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 6: it to another season for any other reason. Do I

696
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: ever have writer's block?

697
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 9: I always, I'm always thinking of sketches.

698
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 10: My mind just kind of works that way. So then

699
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 10: you don't smoke or drink. You don't smoke or drink.

700
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 9: I don't drink.

701
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 6: Ah, you're a writer too, Yeah, I mean, look, writer's

702
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 6: black can happen. There's some people that don't believe in it.

703
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 6: But sometimes you just don't feel like doing the shit,

704
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 6: or you just can't get an idea. You know what

705
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 6: you gotta do, Just write a bunch of.

706
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 9: Bullshit and some of it'll be good.

707
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, just keep typing or take a nap.

708
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: How many drafts do you go to before a lot?

709
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 6: The sketches go through a lot of drafts, sometimes ten

710
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 6: twelve drafts for sure, and then we continue to punch

711
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 6: on set and then we improvise and then we edit different.

712
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 9: So it's always Yeah.

713
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a.

714
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: Moment where you are reading one of your things and

715
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 4: you know it's not working and oh, DA's silent.

716
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: Oh god, they try to force laugh there.

717
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

718
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 6: No, they will not laugh at me. If my shit

719
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 6: is whack, they'll be like dead silent. One of the

720
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: writers season two, cent I, was like, why are y'all laughing?

721
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 6: I'm killing at this. This is why how Keisha got

722
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: the joke Keisha the bad Sanda comedian. That's how she

723
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 6: happened because that was me. And they like pitching bad

724
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 6: sketches and jokes because I'm just a pitch machine. Like

725
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 6: I'm one of those people that's just like right, like

726
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 6: you're just gonna get a hundred ideas.

727
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: And they're allowed to be honest with you. Yeah about no,

728
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 4: you say yes for know, people with egos where you

729
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 4: have to laugh at the.

730
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: Don't do that ship laugh at their bosses jokes I heard.

731
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 6: I was about to say that don't happen here.

732
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: You know people with egos, But no, you can't have an.

733
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 9: Ego because the audience isn't gonna give a ship. The

734
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 9: ship's not funny Jackson.

735
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 10: All right, we got another question, bro.

736
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 6: Do you thank you?

737
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: Thank you for your question? Yes? No, no, no? The

738
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: numbers all right.

739
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 8: My name is Ralph from Virginia. My question is very simple.

740
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 8: I love the credits to opening credits that y'all do.

741
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 8: Can you explain that because I feel like they change

742
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 8: a ship? But I could be high and missing ship.

743
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 8: I don't know, I know, pausing the ship like it

744
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 8: be long in a motherfucker. So like, I'm sorry, I

745
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 8: got open. My point is like, could you could you

746
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 8: talk about that to me? Because I thought, like the

747
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 8: layers and shit like trying to get them the ship.

748
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 8: Now you told me this season to look for and

749
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 8: I did and I couldn't find.

750
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: I was like, I must be an idiot because I

751
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: don't see a difference in like how obvious.

752
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 6: Are the wait? So you see the finale, Well it's

753
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 6: the text. So this year's opening credits the opening sequence

754
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 6: is exactly the same except for the text on the screen,

755
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 6: and it tells a separate story. But that story, I'll

756
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 6: tell you, mister Virginia, is a bit of a red herring.

757
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

758
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 9: It's supposed to throw you off.

759
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 6: The trail of who's actually mind controlling them by sending

760
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 6: you down this other rabbit hole.

761
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 9: But it all dovetails into this idea that.

762
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 6: These black women are creating these characters in this universe,

763
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 6: and it's giving you long story for each of the

764
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 6: I can't believe you haven't noticed, because I know you've

765
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 6: seen one through five, six.

766
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 9: You'll be able to see you have to pause it.

767
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 6: It was also kind of a It was also.

768
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 9: A fun thing. Yeah, for the audience.

769
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 6: I wanted you to have to pause it to read

770
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 6: the ongoing story as long as fuck long.

771
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: Why would you do that to us?

772
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 6: Because I think it's hilarious, and because I think that

773
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 6: I want y'all to have to be so engaged, because

774
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 6: people like people will be like, oh wow, that was sketch,

775
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 6: went by so fast, and I'm like, I want you

776
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: to have to actively, like have to pause and like

777
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: really digest it, and I want you to get in

778
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 6: the Bible doing that for the sketches because they'll be

779
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 6: so much more rich if you do that.

780
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 4: Is there an Easter egg from one to or three

781
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 4: that is so deep and funny that no one has

782
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 4: come back to you yet with I see you there?

783
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 9: I mean there's shit that you would really have to

784
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 9: pause it to see.

785
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 6: In this sketch called It's getting a Heist in here,

786
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 6: it's a museum high sketch, kind of.

787
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 9: Like Ocean's eleven.

788
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: Yes.

789
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 6: In the cases, it's a Rihanna fashion exhibit, and there

790
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 6: is a Rihanna diamond, but all the fashion in the

791
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 6: cases that they go by are our interstitial outfits from

792
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 6: last year, and they're the last supper outfits also in

793
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 6: one of the cases. So it's like showing you that

794
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 6: this world is all starting to dumbtail. But the biggest

795
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 6: one is Millstone Coffee. So if you look, Millstone Coffee

796
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: was the corporation that plug your ears, that doctor Hadassa

797
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 6: secretly owned and used to fund her mind control of

798
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 6: the women.

799
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 9: Okay, you're done to wow, so you'll see Millstone.

800
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 6: Batmach support group starts with Angela Bassett pouring a cup

801
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 6: of Millstone coffee like you see it.

802
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 9: Trinity kicked Nicole.

803
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 6: Byer into a case of Millstone boxes. The no makeup

804
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 6: sketch is at Millstone. She's like, how can I brew

805
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 6: up an answer for you? She's literally selling millstoneffee. So

806
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 6: Millstone has been there since episode one, and it culminates

807
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 6: as kind of the evil nefarious corporation in the end

808
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 6: of season three. One more question. All right, I'm making good, y'all.

809
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 9: What's up, y'all? My name is bre Daddy.

810
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 6: I'm coming all the way from Miami and the reason,

811
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 6: but I'm.

812
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 10: Feeling fucking Philly, so shout out Philly.

813
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 12: Horring as an Afro Latina woman, Black representation is so important,

814
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 12: but we all know how it is. It could be

815
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 12: hard to represent ourselves as black women, black men, non

816
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 12: binary whatever.

817
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 9: Y'all choice is, how do y'all get past? How do

818
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 9: you get past imposter syndrome? That is not where I

819
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 9: expected that question to go. I've never had imposter syndrome.

820
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 6: I don't even understand it, honestly, I just kind of

821
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 6: have reckless confidence and everything I do like it's just

822
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: gonna be greating.

823
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 9: So that's just real. I don't I'm never like, should

824
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 9: I be doing this?

825
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 6: What I will tell you is I do know that

826
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 6: there are people just as funny and funnier than me

827
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 6: who could have had this opportunity. So I don't want

828
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 6: to fuck it up because I want to keep the

829
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 6: door open for all of us to be able to

830
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 6: do it. That's why I called it a Black Lady sketchow,

831
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 6: not the because I can't represent us all and I

832
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 6: want us to be one of many. Right. I wanted

833
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 6: Amber Ruffing to go get her late now show ze

834
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 6: way to do what she's doing. All the sam jazz

835
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 6: bad women be doing this, and I think that we've

836
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 6: helped in that. I'm not taking responsibility for their success,

837
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 6: but I'm just saying, like us being their season after

838
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 6: season is showing the world how funny we can be.

839
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 9: The funniest women in the world. To me, are black

840
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 9: women like and you know on the.

841
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 6: Show, it's so important to us that our afer Latina sisters,

842
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 6: Gina Torres, marl n Egra, like all these Afa Latinas

843
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: on the show, reg and Gomez, like, it's important that

844
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 6: that they're there. It's important that our trans sistors are there.

845
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 6: It's important, Like it's really important to me because we're

846
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 6: not the same. We're so different and we have so

847
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 6: in this season coming up, it's really gonna explore a

848
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 6: lot of that in the way we haven't had a

849
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 6: chance to.

850
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 9: So I'm really excited about that because.

851
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 6: We're so rich, we're so you know, diverse amongst ourselves.

852
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 4: Speaking of seasons, I know this is a very like

853
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 4: BBC network thing, this whole like one season is only

854
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 4: four episodes thing.

855
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 9: We have six, thank you very much.

856
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's what I'm.

857
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: Saying, like, why where is the traditional who decides what

858
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 4: an arnt is for the season as far as the

859
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: volume is concerned, Like, or is it.

860
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 6: The number of episodes? Yes, oh, that's determined by HBO.

861
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 6: I don't have any say about that. But what I

862
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 6: will say is, people, I know that the episodes go

863
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 6: by fast. Y'all tell me this all the time, But

864
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 6: if you think about it, we're doing like fifty short films,

865
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 6: Like it really is denser than most tell I know

866
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 6: that doesn't help because the show goes by fast. But

867
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 6: we're on.

868
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 9: Location, we don't shoot on a stage. We got new characters.

869
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 6: We're like reinventing a sitcom every day, twice a day sometimes,

870
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 6: So it's just it takes a while. Like I work

871
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 6: on the show three hundred and sixty five days a year.

872
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 6: People think I'm, like, you know, just doing six episodes

873
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 6: in like three weeks. No, we shoot for three months,

874
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 6: we write for three months, we prep I post for

875
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 6: three months, like you know, it takes a long time

876
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 6: to make the show.

877
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 10: But so any more episodes you wouldn't have anytime for yourself.

878
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I don't anyway, So that's fine.

879
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 4: What are you afraid to take a break because what

880
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: I did learn with the pandemic. No, no, no, I'm

881
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: not trying to get deep, but I'm just saying what

882
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: I learned in the pandemic is when you have silence.

883
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 8: And like.

884
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 4: The sound of what we're hearing right now, that's where

885
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: ideals really come, and that's where.

886
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: The ideas flow in and inspiration.

887
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 4: So for you, if this is all year round, where

888
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 4: you have to now spend the summer months thinking and thinking,

889
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 4: crafting and building and building and then shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting, and.

890
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: Then promoting, promoting, promoting, promoter and all that.

891
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 6: When I'm never out of ideas, I don't know.

892
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 2: What do you take time out just to have nothing happening.

893
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I definitely, like, you know, have

894
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 6: three or four day like a Memorial Day weekend or

895
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 6: something like that and go somewhere just chill out.

896
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 9: But that doesn't really help me.

897
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 6: I know, well, I know what you mean, but that

898
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 6: doesn't I'm not one of those people.

899
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 9: I work really weird. Like the more shit I have

900
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 9: going on, the more creative I am.

901
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 6: And I'm not going to say that the pandemic I

902
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 6: wasn't creative, but I don't like sitting still.

903
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 9: I'm not really that person.

904
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 6: So I mean, you know, for me, playing dozens of

905
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 6: characters in a season is like great, that's the status quo.

906
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 9: Like I can't imagine being on one show playing one character.

907
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 9: I would be so bored.

908
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 6: So for me, you know what, Also, you know, this

909
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 6: like this is like my seventh sketch show that I've

910
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 6: been on. So it's like I did shows with David

911
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 6: Allen Greer and Jamie Fox and Apion Krockett and everybody,

912
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 6: and so for me, it was like I got to

913
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 6: watch all of them have shows that happened really fast

914
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 6: and didn't get second seasons, and I was like, Okay,

915
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 6: I want to take all those lessons and make this

916
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 6: love letter to black women and like make it really

917
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 6: funny and like make history.

918
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 9: And I just don't take it for granted.

919
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 6: So taking a break as far as like the show,

920
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 6: like maybe not doing it one year or whatever. I've

921
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 6: thought about it because sleep is good, but I feel

922
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 6: like people need it, like especially in the pandemic, Like

923
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 6: people need it, and I think that's important.

924
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 9: And that's that's like we do.

925
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 10: But we don't never want you to put us before

926
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 10: your own self.

927
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 6: No, butsuse it's facrif no, no, no, no, here's the thing.

928
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 9: I'm very rich, so it's fine.

929
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 6: Okay, Well then this is the very last question.

930
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 9: Then all right, thank you.

931
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 6: Siya from Cleveland, Ohio. Two part question.

932
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 12: First, have you thought about a tour around the country

933
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 12: where you can expose new black female talent.

934
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 10: Second, what's the advice for young people who are trying

935
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 10: to get in this work?

936
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 6: Yes, I have thought about a tour. I wanted to

937
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 6: take my cast around. They're just so insanely busy. They

938
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 6: go to immediately to other shows when they're not shooting

939
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 6: this one. But in terms of showcasing like unknown talent,

940
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 6: that's I.

941
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 9: Mean, that would be dope. I mean we try to

942
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 9: get every year.

943
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 6: We try to get folks from like everything from Angela

944
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 6: Bassett to folks from TikTok and YouTube, and you'll see.

945
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 9: Them on the show.

946
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 6: Like you may not recognize some of them, but if

947
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 6: they're your favorites, you will. And then I just ran

948
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 6: into Duran and Bernardo was performing on the other stage.

949
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 6: He was so dope. Yeah, we got him in his

950
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 6: sketch this year, and like people you wouldn't expect to

951
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 6: see in sketches.

952
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 9: I think that's really fun. But yeah, I mean a

953
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 9: tour would be great.

954
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 6: I don't know when I would do it, but I

955
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 6: would find time.

956
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 9: We could do it on the weekends.

957
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 6: But yeah, maybe.

958
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 9: But also what advice do I have? My thing is,

959
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 9: don't think you're.

960
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 6: Better than any job, Like, especially for young people. There's

961
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 6: a thing that's happening now that I'm seeing where like

962
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 6: people would be like, Okay, cool, I want to come

963
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 6: in as the CEO of the company, or I want

964
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 6: to come in like and have an overall deal at

965
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 6: a studio, and it's like we haven't done anything yet.

966
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 6: Like go be a PA, you know, go be a

967
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 6: production assistant, Go be a writer's assistant. Don't think you're

968
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 6: better than those things, you know, and just work your

969
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 6: way up. I'm a showrunner, right, so that means I

970
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 6: run the whole show. I manage a multimillion dollar budgets

971
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 6: and on any show that I run, and I also

972
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 6: write and I act and I you know, all this stuff.

973
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 6: So it's a lot of hats to wear. But the

974
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 6: only reason I was prepared to do that is because

975
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 6: I had twenty years in the business.

976
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 9: Doing every job on so many for shows. So I

977
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 9: don't know if y'all know a lot about where I

978
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 9: came from.

979
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 6: But like I was writing for Mike Epps and Chris

980
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 6: Rock and Kevin Hart and all these comedians, like I'll

981
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 6: be on the roll with comedians. Then I started writing

982
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 6: for award shows and writing like the monologues and the

983
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 6: sketches and the jokes. Then I got Then I started

984
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 6: staffing in rooms as those comedians started selling shows.

985
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 9: Then I, you know, worked my way up to being

986
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 9: head writer.

987
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 10: We should remind people, Robin that that story is actually

988
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 10: in the QLs classic.

989
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 8: It is.

990
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 10: It is also the Puppetsier version as well. We talked

991
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 10: about there too.

992
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 9: But I say all that to say, not to run

993
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 9: down the resume, but.

994
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 6: Just to say, like, I've been here a long time

995
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 6: and some people just got to know me yesterday, you

996
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 6: know so, and and I'm and I'm.

997
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 9: Grateful for that. I'm never better than somebody just now saying.

998
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 9: There's probably people standing here who are like, who is

999
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 9: this woman talking?

1000
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: You know?

1001
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 6: But now you might go google.

1002
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 9: So oh I thought they were saying us, we don't

1003
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 9: know you if they're waving to you.

1004
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's yeah, right question.

1005
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of you writing for other comedians, will you

1006
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 4: ever or is it even a bucket list of yours

1007
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 4: to try stand up once? Because that's the thing I

1008
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 4: was shocked at. I don't because you have never You

1009
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: told me you never done stand up, and.

1010
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 6: You yell at me because you're like your literal late

1011
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 6: night show was you standing up telling jokes?

1012
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 9: So I guess I did do stand up.

1013
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: No.

1014
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I've wrote for literally name your favorite comedian.

1015
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 6: I wrote jokes for them, so, you know, being on

1016
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 6: the road and watching them do what they do, do

1017
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 6: you still feed them now?

1018
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, sometimes I have a good idea for you.

1019
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 9: Why don't you sometimes?

1020
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: Okay?

1021
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 6: Sometimes but like I'll reach out to them because it's

1022
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 6: just that community. Like when Wanda was hosting the Oscars,

1023
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 6: I was like, yo, you did some jokes. She was

1024
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 6: like hit me, you know, and like and I didn't

1025
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 6: because I'm a bad friend. But I just got caught

1026
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 6: up doing shit and not I forgot but but but no,

1027
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 6: it's that kind of community though. Or if they call me, like,

1028
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 6: I'm there, if Rock calls me, if if want to

1029
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 6: calls me, whoever, I'm there.

1030
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 9: So But will I ever do stand up?

1031
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 6: I don't think so, for the same reasons that like

1032
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 6: a lot of older comedians don't really do stand up anymore.

1033
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 6: I think it's like you got to go out and

1034
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 6: fail for a year doing that material. And because I

1035
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 6: never put my ten years in right.

1036
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: Now a good time.

1037
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 9: No, it's not a good time to start. I don't

1038
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 9: even want that.

1039
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: No, no ten seconds stand up.

1040
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 6: No, I will not be swayed there. This is why

1041
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 6: I play the bad comedian, Like I know where my strengths.

1042
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 6: I I know I'm good at impressions and characters, like

1043
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 6: I'm not good at just standing up and being myself.

1044
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 6: Maybe that's imposter syndrome for the lady that I don't know.

1045
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 6: I know, it's just knowing.

1046
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: I don't.

1047
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 6: I don't like it. I tried it twice and I

1048
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 6: almost uncomfortable zone. But for what most stand ups are

1049
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 6: doing it so they can get a TV show. I

1050
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 6: have had multiple television shows. I am multiple my active.

1051
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 2: What you gotroactive? You gotta do the TV shows before

1052
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 2: you do the stand up standing TV shows.

1053
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 9: It would be hustling backwards.

1054
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it backwards?

1055
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 6: I mean, one day you should do what.

1056
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: You want to do.

1057
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have no desire, right, I mean, oh yeah,

1058
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 6: I'm not doing a toxic mail.

1059
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 10: You know why?

1060
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 6: I think you were?

1061
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 8: No.

1062
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 6: You know why too, Because it's a very solitary life

1063
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 6: and it's a very solitary pursuit. And I like doing

1064
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 6: things with other people, and I like supporting us, and

1065
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 6: I like showcasing us, and I feel like stand up

1066
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 6: would just be showcasing me, which I don't think.

1067
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll take that.

1068
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 6: Wait before you wrap it up, can I gotta ask

1069
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:32,719
