Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yo, I'm so excited to host this week and
Speaker 2: dig you doctor. And as I always say, it's such
Speaker 2: an honor to be a voice for Latinos on TV
Speaker 2: and film. But as I also always say, I wish
Speaker 2: the honor wasn't so rare.
Speaker 3: Hollywood's still struggling with representation on screen. According to a
Speaker 3: twenty twenty study by the USC Edinburgh Inclusion Initiative, Latino
Speaker 3: performers appearing in only five percent of speaking roles in
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen's top one hundred movies, despite being eighteen percent
Speaker 3: of the total US population.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean it's crazy. Latinos are almost
Speaker 2: twenty percent of the country, but we're barely represented in
Speaker 2: film and television, especially since every movie last year took
Speaker 2: place in the multiverse. Come on, you're telling me there
Speaker 2: ain't one dimension that's in the heights. Come on. And
Speaker 2: then when there is a good Latino role, it's going
Speaker 2: to people like James Franco. Well, guess what if white
Speaker 2: people can take our roles, I'm gonna take theirs. That's right.
Speaker 2: When they do the TV series based on Gwyneth Paltrow's
Speaker 2: ski accident, trial. I'm gonna be Gwyneth Paltrow. He hit me.
Speaker 2: He hit me so hard he knocked the egg right
Speaker 2: out of my vagina. Try not to visualize that. Please.
Speaker 2: The truth is, I myself have faced this type of discrimination.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't tell you how many times in
Speaker 2: my career I've been told that auditions, that I sound
Speaker 2: too Latino, not Latino enough, that Latinos don't want to
Speaker 2: watch other Latinos, all sorts of madness, And sometimes I
Speaker 2: wish I could put all those casting directors and executives
Speaker 2: into one room and bring you guys in with me,
Speaker 2: just to hear the kind of shit that I've been told. Luckily,
Speaker 2: it turns out the Daily Show has the technology to
Speaker 2: do just that.
Speaker 4: And you're gonna be all right, I promise you.
Speaker 2: And scene, Wow, that was quite spectacular.
Speaker 5: Drunk.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4: full sentences. Huh, John, I almost forgot you're not white.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, me too, me too?
Speaker 2: And can you imagine if you were white?
Speaker 4: Superstar Alert, you'd be one of the big white guys
Speaker 4: like Tom Cruise Tom Hanks, Tom Hardy Spitball. Have you
Speaker 4: thought of changing your name to Tom Tom Mazama?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Or how about a Tom leg with Tom
Speaker 2: would do a double Tom thing?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't even I like that.
Speaker 2: Hey, Tom, Tom master something. If you do a little
Speaker 2: more Latin, yes, yes, yes, but but also also less Latin.
Speaker 2: So wait a minute, more or less Latin?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 2: Just do what you did in the George Lopez show.
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not in the George Leape show, or
Speaker 4: I try I might be thinking of George Lopez.
Speaker 2: It's still understand what you mean by do.
Speaker 4: It less Latin. Well, John, Latin people don't want to
Speaker 4: see Latin people. They want to see white.
Speaker 2: People, white people named Tom.
Speaker 4: Well, you know how there's Hot Soza and Miles Souza.
Speaker 4: Will people want to catch him?
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of anybody you want to hit? Oh hell yeah,

Speaker 2: were fourteen years old, yeah, yeah yeah. And the police,
Speaker 2: the immigration I in s Ice came and took away
Speaker 2: your parents.
Speaker 5: And that's right. And I had to grow up on
Speaker 5: my own, and.
Speaker 7: I had to make very very difficult decisions on my
Speaker 7: own throughout my entire life.
Speaker 2: I imagine a kid just left alone at fourteen to
Speaker 2: raise themselves. So crazy, not right?
Speaker 5: Not okay?
Speaker 7: And I mean I've gone through a lot of therapy
Speaker 7: and I'm still going through therapy, and I'm you.
Speaker 2: Know, beauerful.
Speaker 1: I thank you.
Speaker 7: I've relied on my community to support me in this,
Speaker 7: and I have been very candid. I wrote a book
Speaker 7: in twenty sixteen, my experience and the people, my family
Speaker 7: and I were separated, like for twenty years. I mean,
Speaker 7: I've been able to go back, but they haven't been
Speaker 7: able to come here. And so, you know, pandemic happened
Speaker 7: and I was like, what am I going to do here?
Speaker 7: Like die in La by myself? So I bought a
Speaker 7: farm in the mountains of Plombia and I'm now I'm
Speaker 7: living there. My dad sadly passed away a year ago,
Speaker 7: but thank you so much, but my mom is there.
Speaker 7: I'm close to my family and no one's ever going

Speaker 2: I also hear that you're the leading actor who recently
Speaker 2: enjoyed no join a whole bunch of leading actors in
Speaker 2: the visionary a line to the National Hispanic Media Coalition.
Speaker 2: I had to read that because that's.
Speaker 5: Not the leading actor.
Speaker 2: You're not the leading actor.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not the leading actor. I'm one of the actors,
Speaker 5: one of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, and then and what is the mission statement
Speaker 2: of the coalition?
Speaker 5: Look, and I'll give you numbers.
Speaker 7: I'm not a math girly, but I'll give you some numbers.
Speaker 5: And in twenty twenty two, only.
Speaker 7: Three women of color directed a.
Speaker 5: Top one hundred film in.
Speaker 7: The span of sixteen years. Okay, twenty one female directors.
Speaker 7: Women of color directors directed twenty one films out of.
Speaker 5: Sixteen hundred films.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: I'm not a math girly, like I said.
Speaker 2: And people of color are at least forty percent of
Speaker 2: the population, if not a lot more, because white people
Speaker 2: are only fifty nine percent of the population.
Speaker 7: Right right, So I mean that's getting into more numbers
Speaker 7: than I rehearsed.
Speaker 2: But I'm a math boy.
Speaker 5: You are a mouth.
Speaker 7: Well, all I know is that that's cultural aparthep, yes, right,
Speaker 7: And I know that's the term that you use a lot.
Speaker 5: And I follow you and I follow your work. Thank
Speaker 5: you so much, Johnny Looz for doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah and inquiring me to do.
Speaker 5: The work that I'm doing alongside you.
Speaker 2: Well, we need allies, and we need people like you.
Speaker 2: We need soldiers out there.
Speaker 5: Thank you. We want representation.
Speaker 8: We want we want.
Speaker 5: We want the right kind of representation.
Speaker 7: We're tired of the only things getting made about us
Speaker 7: drug lords, criminals, cops, rights, Yeah, yeah right what we
Speaker 7: we We want to be represented as we are real, beautiful, curious.
Speaker 9: Uh you know, existential crises happened, and yes maybe and
Speaker 9: yes maybe even mediocre and in some days sometimes right
Speaker 9: and if something.
Speaker 2: Why people get to be mediocre all the time. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm jealous because white people get to fail upwards, just perus.
Speaker 2: Just I can barely succeed upwards.
Speaker 7: Agreed, likewise, just perus through the cannon, the cannon of
Speaker 7: like mediocre films of.
Speaker 2: Functional World, Jack, Jack and Jail.
Speaker 5: The cannon is rich. We deserve to be.
Speaker 2: Allowed to fail on camera in big movies we make credit.
Speaker 2: I want to make crap on television, on streaming. I
Speaker 2: want to be like white people.
Speaker 10: I want to make man wooly Man, meat ball, get paid,
Speaker 10: get paid for nobody paid for it.
Speaker 2: Test to do that, you have to work really well.
Speaker 2: In sushi kitchens, pezzias. We got to cook all the
Speaker 2: food of this goddamn country.
Speaker 7: Just like we deserve to be excellent, we deserve to
Speaker 7: make crap as well and everything in between.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I've been thinking about the term
Speaker 2: people of color came out p O POC. I loved it.
Speaker 2: I thought, oh my god, this is so incredible. It's
Speaker 2: going to unify us, it's going to bring us together,
Speaker 2: it's going to make us stronger. And then I started
Speaker 2: to see that people of color was sort of working,
Speaker 2: but it was excluding Latin people even more. Like, I
Speaker 2: started to see that Latin people were not being included,
Speaker 2: that we were actually less included. So I started having
Speaker 2: beef for the New York Times because I was like,
Speaker 2: there's no Latin stories. Where Latin stories. Where your Latin journalists?
Speaker 2: I mean there were no names there. I mean I
Speaker 2: was looking for those names, but you can only see
Speaker 2: it when they were like showing the Yankees sports pages
Speaker 2: or you know, and I'm not going to you know.
Speaker 2: So they got upset with me because I was upset
Speaker 2: at them, and then they called me up and said, John,
Speaker 2: you're so wrong because we've got we were about ten
Speaker 2: percent more people of color. That's fantastic, that's so awesome.
Speaker 2: That's my dream come true. How many of those people
Speaker 2: are Latin? None? Now they have maybe one or two
Speaker 2: percent journalists at the New York Times, but it's not enough.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to be reading about Latin
Speaker 2: Sofito recipes written by Heidi and the term people of
Speaker 2: color is cool, but not if it's excluding Land people.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're half of the people of color. People
Speaker 2: of color are forty percent of the US population, and
Speaker 2: we're fifty percent of that POC, but we're less than
Speaker 2: than one percent of the leads and movies and television
Speaker 2: and streaming, less than one percent of the stories being told,
Speaker 2: less than zero point something one percent of the executives. Now,
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to think that do we have to
Speaker 2: get more aggressive? Do we have to get more assertive
Speaker 2: about ourselves? Do we have to start like boycotting, picketing
Speaker 2: call obviously calling hunger strikes. What do we have to
Speaker 2: do to make this change? Because it's got to happen
Speaker 2: in my lifetime. It's got to happen before my kids
Speaker 2: get old and before you know, before I pass. It's
Speaker 2: got to change.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: Make the Puerto Rican Day Parade like longer, go up
Speaker 2: every street. Make the Port Rigon Day Parade for a month.
Speaker 2: Do we cancel Hamilton? My guest tonight is the pream
Speaker 2: of the New York Underground, A rapper, songwriter and actor.
Speaker 5: And when new EP.
Speaker 2: Is called I Love You, but this is goodbye, Please
Speaker 2: welcome Princess No kia okay o. Bring Let at that reception?
Speaker 5: Oh no, I love you.
Speaker 2: Were a look at that. Yeah, now you're you're a
Speaker 2: hip you're a multi hyphen a singer, actor, producer, director, voice.
Speaker 2: Oh that, but isn't the idea of being very successful
Speaker 2: to have to work less?
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean some would say working harder, not smarter.
Speaker 1: I am a multi hyphenate. I've done so many things musician, actress, comedian, director, songwriter.
Speaker 2: And what drives that, what drives all.
Speaker 1: That creativity, you know, the need to want to express
Speaker 1: myself taking boredom and you know they say, uh, bored
Speaker 1: idleness is the double playground, and I don't ever want
Speaker 1: to be in the douvile's playground.
Speaker 5: I just want to have fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you do it, and your working so powerful.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm so inspired by you. And you chose
Speaker 2: your stage named Nokia because the telephone is so undestructible
Speaker 2: and you're indestructible.
Speaker 5: I would say, so it's a finished company.
Speaker 1: At the time, I was using Obama phones because you know,
Speaker 1: we was just that poor, so I couldn't call myself
Speaker 1: Princess Obama Phone, and I just know I was I
Speaker 1: was too young to have an Okia, but I chose
Speaker 1: something with a futurist angle because I liked the idea
Speaker 1: of having something old and new and they you know,
Speaker 1: Disney princesses, all their moms are dead and my mom's dead,
Speaker 1: so I figured, well, let me add a little dead
Speaker 1: humor to that as well.
Speaker 2: I love the way you mix it all together. It's
Speaker 2: amazing we're both with both street kids. Yes, you know,
Speaker 2: I went to the fresh air fun that survived the
Speaker 2: public New York City public school system. Uh, how do
Speaker 2: you use your street streetness and your lens of the
Speaker 2: Latini dad to do your storytelling?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, I was really fortunate to grow up in an
Speaker 1: extremely vivid cultural upbringing. You know, being Afro Indigenous was
Speaker 1: what I was supposed to do on the weekend when
Speaker 1: my girlfriends was playing double Dutch and hanging rope, I
Speaker 1: was at Powell. It's just like why, you know, like
Speaker 1: I loved my upbringing. But it's funny because you know,
Speaker 1: there's so many inter intersections of my childhood. And there's
Speaker 1: the public school, you know, being in Jefferson Park with
Speaker 1: my friends, and then there was the times where I
Speaker 1: didn't connect with my friends, where I didn't get to
Speaker 1: have sneakers or you know, be wearing lip glows that
Speaker 1: I had to you know, go to ceremonies or go
Speaker 1: to the un to do a performance of the sort.
Speaker 1: But I think that, you know, I'm very street, I'm
Speaker 1: very I'm very protective.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I was taught to fight with my words in my
Speaker 1: hands and be vivacious and be protective. And I am
Speaker 1: protective of myself and my loved ones.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it comes out in your work. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: such a big fan of your work because you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like I see myself in you, you know,
Speaker 2: and it revitalizes me as a as an older artist,
Speaker 2: seeing like the young latinas that have, you know, such
Speaker 2: self worth and strength and vivacity and not afraid of
Speaker 2: their power and strength. Yeah. I was telling.
Speaker 1: John, I was telling I was telling uh to the crowd.
Speaker 1: Is the camera here here? I was telling John earlier
Speaker 1: that he's one of my biggest inspirations. Is him and
Speaker 1: markin Lawrence that created my identity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel I feel like we're about the same height.
Speaker 2: We're both shortcans. I'm there too, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Like I watched Freak sex Aholic Spicherama Ghetto Clown,
Speaker 6: Like Jesus, you.
Speaker 2: Watch that inappropriate crap?
Speaker 1: Come on, no, they allowed me to watch it. It was
Speaker 1: the it was our household thing. We saw you and
Speaker 1: we saw ourselves.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful. Pause, thank you, bang girl. I mean when
Speaker 2: I wrote my stuff, I wanted to write it for
Speaker 2: all the young Latino kids that weren't seeing themselves and
Speaker 2: that they felt invisible, and I wanted them to feel
Speaker 2: like I saw them. You know, That's why I wrote it. Now,
Speaker 2: you got your new EP coming out right.
Speaker 1: It's a radio that's okay, everything is misinformed.
Speaker 2: But this is about love, right.
Speaker 7: This is.
Speaker 5: How many rumors have you heard about?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but it's about love though. This is the
Speaker 2: first time you're talking about love. You've never been this
Speaker 2: vulnerable before? Why now?
Speaker 5: It was?
Speaker 1: It was the time it was I was speaking. I
Speaker 1: always speak from my heart. I always speak from a
Speaker 1: personal experience.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety two covers my my life as a child
Speaker 1: growing up and all the intersections of my life from
Speaker 1: childhood to adult. You know, girl, Ca read is about
Speaker 1: my love for rock music. Everything is beautiful. It's a
Speaker 1: neo soul jazz album with R and B. Everything sucks
Speaker 1: kind of have like an ICP effect to it. It
Speaker 1: was a little bit more fun in this. I stripped
Speaker 1: it down. I wanted to sing. I always say when
Speaker 1: I am sing, I'm happy, and when I sing, I'm sad.
Speaker 1: And when I got the blues, I sing, so I
Speaker 1: had the blues and I was going to get married
Speaker 1: in uh that dress and I didn't. And I like using, no.
Speaker 5: It's okay, that's this is it's okay.
Speaker 1: Like I'm a young woman. And I said this to
Speaker 1: Billboard the Insider. I said, everyone is so used to
Speaker 1: me being the rapper, the strong woman, the soup thrower,
Speaker 1: you know, the voice of a generation, but no one
Speaker 1: has ever heard me or and I've never allowed myself
Speaker 1: to be that vulnerable. I don't talk about my personal
Speaker 1: life like online, so no one would know who I'm dating.
Speaker 1: No one knows who I'm talking about. It's no one
Speaker 1: I've ever posted publicly. So someone could have an idea,
Speaker 1: and they completely have no idea what's going on. So
Speaker 1: I put all of these intricate things about a failed relationship,
Speaker 1: but the takeaway of the project is really that that
Speaker 1: person was inter excuse me, that person allowed me to
Speaker 1: feel love. They allowed me to feel a little something.
Speaker 1: You know, I hadn't felt I hadn't dated it in
Speaker 1: like five years. Wow, And like I think that, like,
Speaker 1: I just, you know, hooked up with my child's sweetheart
Speaker 1: and we had a love tunnel and it was fabulous
Speaker 1: and it was hot and saucy and sexy and then
Speaker 1: scary and then scary, and we were going to get
Speaker 1: married and it was going to be amazing. And then
Speaker 1: I left because it didn't serve me when I said
Speaker 1: my hot purpose and I spoke to God and God
Speaker 1: said get your ass out there, and I said, okay,
Speaker 1: And but I tell him he's listened to the music,
Speaker 1: he loves the project. He was still good friends.
Speaker 2: You know, we were apart, and I want to go
Speaker 2: back to that soup thing.
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 2: What happened in that public adding, I'm not kidding. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you all know what happened? Well, was
Speaker 2: she going to tell you?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: I've never spoken about it publicly because I public attention
Speaker 1: gives me nervous. And I was on the front of
Speaker 1: the Metro or in the Metro and I was like, oh.
Speaker 5: My god, my name is like in the paper.
Speaker 2: Because it went viral, that video went viral.
Speaker 1: I still don't realize. I realized that I'm a person
Speaker 1: of interest. Like for me, I'm just destiny.
Speaker 2: Well, if you throw hot soup in somebody's face, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be aest to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: This is what happened. This is from this iss mouth
Speaker 1: before that man's start saying slurs. A group of young
Speaker 1: men who are like on a basketball team, black and
Speaker 1: Latino brothers, and I remember thinking, Wow, look at kids
Speaker 1: getting air, being outside, being healthy, playing sports. That's a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing.
Speaker 5: You look. Oh, oh my people, look at oh, look
Speaker 5: at young.
Speaker 1: Men being a gentleman.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And this man came onto the train and he bumped
Speaker 1: them purposely, and that was the first thing I seen.
Speaker 1: I seen an adult bump of child, and I thought
Speaker 1: that was very weird. And then when they got off,
Speaker 1: he drunkenly just said these had words and I got
Speaker 1: up and I said, how dare you? And I just
Speaker 1: sucked him in the eye and he called.
Speaker 5: Me so I didn't want to say that. I didn't
Speaker 5: want to say that.
Speaker 1: I said it on Twitter once, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to say that to publications in case he tried to
Speaker 1: sue me. But you know, I was like, we got
Speaker 1: some money. So that's actually what happened. There was a
Speaker 1: whole discourse before the soup the soupers. What happened very last,
Speaker 1: what I says, You're not about to talk about black
Speaker 1: people like that, not in my face. I would never
Speaker 1: like xenophobia and anti blackness. That makes my skin crawl
Speaker 1: eye like that.
Speaker 2: And you can't stay quiet because if you stay quiet,
Speaker 2: then you're you're you're kind of guilty.
Speaker 1: Well, people stay quiet because people are crazy. You don't
Speaker 1: know what they're capable of. He could have punched me back,
Speaker 1: He could have slapped me, he could have spinn me,
Speaker 1: and I have been punched back before.
Speaker 5: Standing enough for myself.
Speaker 1: I got really lucky. Then he started hurling racial slurs
Speaker 1: at me. And when I said what I said, I
Speaker 1: said to him very distinctly, you don't ever talk about
Speaker 1: people like that. Don't ever fix your mouth to say
Speaker 1: something like that. A whole bunch of men came to
Speaker 1: my aid and it was brothers and like people just
Speaker 1: it was like this. The train of New York just
Speaker 1: came behind my back and these two brothers they looked
Speaker 1: at me and said, we got you to this. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: and then we and then everybody like white black, polka
Speaker 1: dot red, was like, you can't talk like that.
Speaker 5: That's not okay as white men. And there was white
Speaker 5: men going, dude, what's wrong with me? Are you sick?
Speaker 2: And that I was everybody.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: It was like I was a rapt and it was
Speaker 2: so you're gonna make me cry. That made me take
Speaker 2: it because we.
Speaker 1: All collectively threw him off the train.
Speaker 5: It was done. You see the mom man, they're throwing him.
Speaker 1: And I had just went to Panera bread and got
Speaker 1: me a butternut squash and I that was my thing.
Speaker 1: I used to get me a butternut squash soup and go.
Speaker 5: To Brooklyn and you know, be a New Yorker.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, ship, excuse me, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh well from me, he'd done seve racial slurs. He
Speaker 1: done got in my face, he done made a fool
Speaker 1: of himself. He about to get this soup too. So
Speaker 1: I just I was like, you know what, I've already
Speaker 1: punched him.
Speaker 5: I've already done that.
Speaker 1: That's all off camera, I said. I remember I went
Speaker 1: to get my bag because I was like, I got
Speaker 1: my bag and then I was.
Speaker 10: Like, sou and witho even thinking about it, without don't
Speaker 10: even thinking about it, it's in two seconds, I swear
Speaker 10: to God, it was from fourteenth Street to the first
Speaker 10: stop of the L.
Speaker 1: Train, so you know that underground tunnel is like extra
Speaker 1: three minutes, so it's like it felt like a long time,
Speaker 1: but it was just one train.
Speaker 5: Stop and it was it was. It was wild and
Speaker 5: I and I stand behind that.
Speaker 1: You know, I was taught. I was taught to always
Speaker 1: if you are about something, be about something. And I
Speaker 1: would never strike my brother sister unless they you know,
Speaker 1: provoked the first. But when it comes to defending blackness
Speaker 1: or you know, Latin being indigenous anything, you know that
Speaker 1: I am maybe it vulnerable, Yeah, absolutely, And we were
Speaker 1: just at a point in the time society, like in
Speaker 1: society where that rhetoric was just so you know, and
Speaker 1: I caught that man his.
