3:38
God they gotta respect her name
3:40
yeah I was listening to her tell this
3:42
story about Richard Pryor just brought
3:44
me back to these like live from the
3:45
sunset Sunset Strip and all these shows
3:47
and I love that tradition so I'm really
3:50
excited to see what her special is about
3:51

3:56
I'll never do it I wrote I wrote for
3:59
Kevin Hart Mike yeah it's like all these
4:00
dudes right Chris Rock I wrote for all
4:02
these guys but um I have so much respect
4:05
for what they do yeah yeah I'm much
4:06
happier you know playing a character
4:08
doing impressions that kind of stuff so
4:10
so you know we'll just try to make my
4:12
brain what's your favorite impression
4:13
because he was hoping maybe you could do
4:14
something today
4:16
listen I have a million favorite ones
4:18
but the one everyone always wants me to
4:20
do is JK it's Dr Clark from 227. okay
4:23
all right so
4:24
um you know everybody does the oh baby
4:27
but you know I think the funny thing
4:29
about her is that she used to tell the
4:30
nastiest stories on that show on network
4:33
TV yes and so she would be like she was
4:36
like she would like what would she say
4:37
she'd be like let me tell you something
4:39
you know what I'm saying this baby
4:51
show on a family show but yeah you know
4:54
she's she's dope I think
4:56
um the dope thing about schedule is we
4:58
have new casts this season okay so Sky
5:01
Townsend of course Robert Townsend's
5:02
daughter is incredible for like three
5:04
seasons she's still Gabrielle Dennis is
5:06
back the OG
5:08
um but we've got Angel Nikita Moore
5:09
who's that chick angel on IG she's dope
5:12
to my girly this young 24 year old tick
5:15
tocker that's so so dope does crazy
5:17
voices and Impressions and then Tamara
5:19
Jade who was in the top 10 on the voice
5:21
and we she's singing down on the show
5:24
like we incorporate music and everything
5:26
this season so I just love that I love
5:28
that um you're gonna see some cardi B
5:30
Impressions you're gonna see some
5:31
Jocelyn Hernandez from Skye she's wild
5:34
but the funny thing is the way we do
5:35
Impressions because we make the show
5:37
like a year out right so it's not live
5:39
you know or everything so it's a year
5:42
out about 10 months yeah wow so wow so
5:45
how we say current is like we'll do
5:47
characters like style do like cardi but
5:49
like it's not cardi but it's she's
5:51
definitely doing the voice and the
5:52
mannerisms but it's worked into another
5:54
sketch like this year we have a spoof on
5:56
verses
5:58
um called curses and it's about two
5:59
witches who are casting spells against
6:01
each other
6:02
so Skye is playing like this cardi B
6:05
sound and character and I'm playing um
6:07
like a sweetie like a sweetie kind of
6:09
character so it's so so we like Infuse
6:11
hip-hop and like pop culture into all of
6:13
that stuff even though it's kind of far
6:14
out yeah I love it Robin videos here you
6:16
hear that Talent have the beat I love it
6:18
you know all that Talent so here's what
6:20
I loved about it always been a big fan
6:22

same oh thank you thank you get
6:27
heather on the show

know
6:32
um
6:33
stand up is too real I agree with you
6:36
stand up but no thank you nah thank you
6:39
guys but I've read that Stacy Evans
6:42
Morgan was a part of you guys behind the
6:45
scenes is that true um yeah she she
6:46
consulted with us uh in season three for
6:49
a little bit Yeah so I love that she is
6:51
great um Hollywood royalty she's
6:53
Hollywood royalty and when when I saw
6:55
her name pop up I thought about you and
6:58
I was like the next time I see Robin I
7:00
want to say thank you I've taken Stacy's
7:01
classes
7:03
she's amazing so she's related to um
7:06
Bentley Evans yeah from Martin and Jamie
7:09
Foxx Show yeah your friend now Evans
7:11
that you introduced me out this that's
7:14
his um that's all that family
7:16
that's all family they like Williams
7:19
money yeah exactly exactly that exactly
7:21
and she was a part of yeah and I saw
7:24
that I was like that was so smart and
7:26
it's dope that you had women behind the
7:28
scenes as well and I just wanted to just
7:30
say thank you for that because I don't
7:32
real I don't think a lot of people
7:34
realize who Stacy is and then what that
7:37
meant to that her being a part of that
7:39
show you know what my thing is like this
7:41
is a platform for people to come in and
7:43
come out and like we get to work with
7:45
our Legends right so like jacket Harry
7:47
as much as I talk about her is now on
7:48
the show right and like she gets it's
7:52
just so dope to me so I get to like
7:54
you're saying in front of and behind the
7:56
camera we get to work with Legends and
7:58
everyone's welcome and if somebody says
7:59
yeah I want to come play this season
8:00
whatever come on like that's the job
8:03
that's the being a boss you
8:07
better talk about it Robin
8:10
big old boss yeah so we just get to get
8:12
in and give everybody some love and some
8:15
time but also just give them their
8:16
flowers yes I've been such a fan of hers
8:18
and so many people that have come
8:20
through the show
8:22
um so yeah I love that that's dope nah I
8:24
was like when I see Robin
8:26
yeah because people that part isn't
8:29
often brought to them it's not it's
8:31
about the people on in front of the
8:32
camera yeah and we work so hard like you
8:35
know there's not a lot of black women in
8:36
like the camera units and the sound
8:37
department and transportation and we've
8:40
gotten dozens of black women in these
8:41
unions some of them like the third who's
8:44
ever been in it you know and like hair
8:46
makeup all that like is really critical
8:48
to us then when you leave black lady
8:50
sketch show you leave better than when
8:51
you came and set up for Success you know
8:54
I think about all the people that came
8:56
through Z-Wave and a bunch of people
8:57
that came through my late night show and
8:59
then and people obviously hello Quinta
9:01
Bronson was on season one of a black
9:02
ladies are watching it so you know it's
9:05
like it I just want this to be the
9:07
conduit for all the talent that we
9:09
already know is out there
9:17
um just behind the scenes the editors
9:19
that they're all of these things like
9:20
lady editors
9:22
come on I saw the speeches I saw you
9:24
standing behind the stage
9:29
they were like we want to thank Robin
9:31
thank you I said ma'am could you sit
9:34
down please but yeah I'm so proud of
9:37
them our black lady editors are sort of
9:38
and we've had some other people too all
9:40
people of color we've had latinx editors
9:41
we've had black men editors but but for
9:43
the most part the constant has been
9:44
black women and you do not see that in
9:46
the editor it's the first um woman of
9:49
color uh uh editing team to ever be
9:52
nominated for and then winning Emmy two
9:54
years ago come on two years ago first
9:57
ever also guess what two black women
9:59
have been nominated for comedy directing
10:01
and variety sketch both from our show
10:03
and one one last year talk about Bridget
10:05
Murphy soap
10:07
is lucky word come on HBO
10:13
yeah that's black girl magic but that's
10:16
how everybody leaves better than when
10:17
they came it's like yeah it's about a
10:18
sketch show and I want people to watch
10:19
and enjoy it but the power behind it and
10:23
people who get to eat off this show year
10:26
after year after year and then they go
10:28
and hire people because they were like
10:29
that happened for me you know so that's
10:32
dope you're creating economy bro I mean
10:35
rabbit feels your passion to the Max and
10:37
I'm so happy to understand the details
10:39
of how the passion it resonates behind
10:41
the scenes as well as from them of the
10:43
camera um a black lady sketch show is so
10:46
special to me because it just feels like
10:49
I'm at a brunch with my silliest most
10:51
practically incorrect
10:55
because
10:57
and sometimes what I get like nervous
11:00
about when I do find those shows is I'm
11:01
like this isn't private just for me I'm
11:04
like it's not HBO Max do I think about
11:05
yeah the other eyes you know the
11:08
eavesdroppers that come on I can tell
11:10
too much though like we don't put our
11:12
business in there so that's what I was
11:13
gonna say how do you determine your
11:15
don'ts because for so many comedians
11:17
it's like everything's on the table I
11:19
don't care who's in the room but I feel
11:20
like you still have a care I do I
11:23
definitely do I don't ever want to paint
11:26
us in a bad light at the center of the
11:27
show is Joy right right so we want to
11:30
play like crazy good characters Bad
11:32
characters whatever they are
11:34
um but at the same time we don't have
11:35
have an agenda and I think a lot of
11:37
people approach comedy with an agenda
11:39
and I think our only agenda is joy and
11:42
it's to create like all these different
11:44
ways that black women can be seen right
11:45
and so because of that I think what you
11:48
notice is if you watch even three
11:49
sketches right not even a whole episode
11:51
if you just watch three sketches in a
11:52
row you're gonna see so many different
11:53
types of characters that you don't feel
11:55
like anybody's being picked on or
11:58
targeted right I think you can kind of
12:00
feel a mean spirit in some comedy and
12:03
like people that like maybe they don't
12:05
really like themselves they don't really
12:07
like other black people and it's like
12:08
that's not the vibe over here like the
12:10
Bible over here is we celebrating us
12:12
like some people be like oh why aren't
12:13
there any white people on the show I'm
12:14
like this isn't we're not trying to make
12:17
fun of white people we're trying to
12:18
celebrate black women yeah that's just a
12:20
different situation it's just a
12:21
different angle to come out so I think
12:23
we just come at it with Good Vibes and
12:24
good intention but I also think that um
12:27
what's off limits if you tackle it the
12:30
right way it's not gonna feel like
12:32
you're airing dirty laundry or putting
12:34
our business industry right
12:36
um so I think we just try to ride that
12:38
line but we definitely push it for sure
12:40
and this season oh my gosh we're very
12:43
much pushing it yeah but but I think
12:45
it's all done in a good spirit and I
12:46
think people feel that yeah I do yeah
12:49
Rob and thidia is here black lady sketch
12:51
show season four premiere in April 14 on
12:53
HBO Max 888
12:55
742-3345 call UPS
12:58
game changer
13:01
I remember seeing this woman do an
13:04
interview with um Kirk Franklin
13:06
oh yeah while back and
13:09
you were talking about the the journey
13:12
I'm paraphrasing and how you was
13:15
thinking about I gotta get it I gotta
13:17
get it damn I gotta put myself in
13:18
position and the moment you let that
13:21
thought process go and start thinking
13:22
about how you could bring everybody up
13:24
yeah is when you start seeing your star
13:26
ride that's right right and all this
13:28
opportunities start coming and that's
13:30
right you're living in purpose now
13:32
listen there were so many years I would
13:34
say like the first
13:36
five six years I was in LA I was really
13:40
like how can I get what what can I get
13:41
what can I do I went on like a thousand
13:43
auditions I booked maybe three or four
13:45
things but that was not paying the bills
13:47
okay and I was doing sketch and improv
13:50
with groups that I love people I'm so
13:51
friends with to say but
13:53
um it was everything was from an eye
13:56
perspective right and it just limited me
14:00
because what it did was mean that
14:02
everything was on someone else's
14:03
shoulders to pick me right right the
14:06
original pick me right
14:11
I was the OG piggy I was like please
14:13
hire me I'll be anything I'll work for
14:15
free like but it was like that desperate
14:17
energy but that self-focused energy
14:19
didn't leave room for any expansion not
14:22
for me or for anybody else so what I
14:23
realized was once I started writing for
14:25
comedians once I started writing on
14:27
other shows for other people my acting
14:29
opportunities and my comedy
14:31
opportunities in front of the camera
14:32
grew and then once I started hiring
14:35
people at the Queen Latifah Show at
14:37
nightly show at the rundown at black
14:39
lady sketch show my world blew wide open
14:43
and it became my focus became
14:46
um what can I do for other people
14:48
because putting those people around me
14:50
makes everybody rise yeah you know and
14:54
so you know Bernie Mac told me a long
14:56
time ago
15:00
Bernie Mac
15:02
wow he said to me put the smartest
15:05
people around you and you'll always be
15:07
seen as the smartest person in the room
15:08
and I don't need to be seen as the
15:10
smartest person I just love that I can
15:12
talk about my black lady editors my my
15:14
Emmy award-winning director my Emmy
15:16
award-winning editor is my my cast that
15:17
should have won Emmys period
15:20
um but you know I think it's not too
15:22
late they still can't but you know all
15:24
these people who have done all these
15:25
things we have the same amount of Emmy
15:27
nominations and more wins than In Living
15:28
Color damn In Living Color I think had
15:31
13 nominations in one win which was
15:33
crazy for the time because they didn't
15:35
give black people Nothing Better even
15:36
Living Color was on now they would have
15:38
that seven thousand Emmys but we have
15:40
had 13 nominations and three wins and
15:42
that's that's only because we stand on
15:43
their shoulder but Bernie Mac's you know
15:46
said that to me and that really stood
15:47
with me and he also said you know if you
15:49
got an audience perform whether it's one
15:51
person or a hundred thousand you know
15:53
and to always give your best you know
15:55
and I think I think for me giving my
15:58
best is being able to provide for other
15:59
people now when I say this I don't say
16:02
it like give away everything you have
16:03
when you get your first check because
16:05
people do that and that's not that's not
16:07
it
16:09
you can't be tricking off the first
16:11
check but the thing is I don't give
16:12
people money I give them opportunities
16:14
and then they step into those and they
16:16
make their money you know Larry Wilmore
16:19
told me on the nightly show he said my
16:21
job is to make you rich and I was like
16:23
oh okay and he was like but you're gonna
16:26
make yourself rich I'm gonna show you
16:27
how like I'm gonna give you the game
16:29
that lets you you become the boss you
16:31
know and that's what's so dope to me
16:33
that's been the stuff that's that's led
16:34
me to the next level so I love doing
16:36
that for other people especially black
16:37
women that's amazing Robin feedy and
16:40
congratulations on disengagement oh my
16:43
gosh yes can you believe it I saw the
16:45
second show to HBO which who would have
16:48
thought
16:49
um well I have an overall deal in my
16:50
company for better Awards we produce a
16:52
bunch of shows we produce my late night
16:53
show we produce a sketcho and now we're
16:55
producing this show it's called
16:56
disengagement it's about a Midwest black
16:58
family which I've never seen but I'm
16:59
from the Midwest and like I never get to
17:01
see like black people who just live in
17:04
St Louis or Illinois or wherever you
17:06
know so it's about a dope family that
17:09
has hit some snags and they're a little
17:11
dysfunctional it's kind of like Arrested
17:13
Development meets you know I don't know
17:15
I can't even I don't want to say The
17:16
Cosby Show because it's not that okay
17:18
but it's in early stages but I'm really
17:21
excited about bringing like adult family
17:23
issues kind of to the table but again
17:25
not airing our dirty laundry but being
17:27
able to It's A Hard comedy
17:29
um but we get to see kind of black
17:31
people in a new light which is something
17:32
that I'm always trying to do I'm always
17:33
trying to show the breadth of what we
17:35
can be the variety of what we have and
17:37
how many different stories we have to
17:38
tell so I'm excited about it do an
17:40

20:52
she's she's 14. and you know a lot of
20:55
the a lot of the things you know still
20:57
go over ahead a little bit but she's
20:59
really into the culture and it's so
21:01
important to me to make sure that I
21:03
point this out to her when when I see
21:05
those opportunities on the screen or you
21:08
know the opportunities that are there
21:09
it's it's so valuable for mixed people
21:13
oh my God damn where where we did we did
21:17
we get overlooked we get overlooked
21:19
sometimes right we don't know if we're
21:20
you know what what what what family
21:23
we're in right or we are with the white
21:25
or with black is this damn you got a
21:27
question Dan you got a question
21:29
Dan you got a question you know the
21:32
politically correct term is Blended now
21:34
Dan is it is it
21:35
I'm joking I'm black
21:39
Robin's black then
21:41
uh no yes thank you so much please just
21:44
tell your daughter I said hi a black
21:45

21:47

21:50
hey Dan do yourself a favor go to
21:52
SiriusXM the at the mobile app and play
21:55
this back for your 14 year old daughter
21:57
and y'all have a discussion afterwards
22:00
you need to you need to hear yourself
22:02
mixed you gotta hear you sometimes it's
22:05
different when you hear yourself yeah
22:06
back when I hear a mix I think of Jiffy
22:09
cornbread you know what
22:11
you said Kool-Aid at first yes he did
22:14
you know what it's interesting but Dan
22:16
is Dan is saying a real thing that they
22:18
have been exploring identity and I'm
22:19
happy to hear that they're using a black
22:20
lady schedule to find more yeah yeah
22:23
they'll find it they'll find it you'll
22:25
find it they sound like they probably
22:26
found it Dan gotta watch it
22:32
that's a lot for me
22:35
why do you keep saying it like that too
22:37
and putting all the stress on it he put
22:39
it like he landed yeah
22:42
I was like I'll mix mixed and Mastered
22:45
by Guru
22:49
I don't know how to go with that also my
22:51
mother is black so I was never like they
22:53
were like you're black like I don't know
22:55
I don't know I think for some people
22:56
it's a little confusing depending on who
22:57
the parent is but or just how you're
22:59
raised but maybe in Canada it's
23:00
different I'm not sure it might be
23:01
different but I could see a sketch out
23:03
of this oh God that was the skinship
23:07
Canada in California
23:12
[Applause]
23:14
Anthony are you mixed
23:21
what publicity
23:23
please
23:25
no we didn't say where you're driving
23:28
oh is that where he lives
23:30
oh he's a driver you're driving through
23:32
us just give me Pinole what you say
23:35
no no Sacramento Sacramento okay
23:37
Sacramento all right
23:39
they got a good comedy club there they
23:41
do yeah they got they do comedy out
23:43
there yeah they do yeah yeah they do and
23:46
what you want to say to Robin
23:47
uh Robin I was just wondering you know I
23:50
have a daughter she's getting ready to
23:52
go off to college and you know she don't
23:55
have a lot of black friends you know she
23:58
has a lot of other friends you know and
24:01
they cool too but it's hard for her to
24:04
get along with some of her own her own
24:06
race sometimes so I'm just wondering how
24:08
do you how can I explain that to her
24:10
like you know it's okay
24:17
I appreciate that
24:24
you know you just explain it differently
24:26
you know
24:28
um
24:29
you know I think she's got to come on
24:31
her own and figure out who her people
24:33
are but she gonna get one too many weird
24:35
awkward conversations with her friends
24:38
that are not black and I might bring her
24:39
back but I don't know I think I think I
24:42
don't know that's that's a tough one
24:44
that's a tough one there's kids that
24:45
just don't really hang with their own
24:47
people and they gonna find out one day I
24:50
don't know I don't know
24:52
I'm not black I'm OJ
24:55
okay okay I don't know look I'm not
25:00
saying that she needs to like dump her
25:01
white friends I just think she's got to
25:02
figure it out right like no no they're
25:04
not white they like more Mexican she
25:06
kick it with mostly man
25:08
you know that's because yeah she's in
25:12
California she's good yeah she good
25:14
Mexican people get it they down with
25:15
they down with the
25:21
good I wouldn't worry about it man just
25:24
make sure you teach her about her
25:26
Heritage all right and her hair
25:28
[Laughter]
25:54
but this is you know what you're not
25:56
wrong and it's dope to me that people
25:58
are calling saying like my daughter I
25:59
want to show her like what you do and
26:01
what you can do like I don't get out in
26:03
the world because the pandemic so like
26:05
I'm so happy to see y'all in person so
26:07
it's like the first season we saw
26:09
people's reaction to the show in person
26:10
and then it was like we never got to see
26:12
anybody so we never get to talk to
26:14
people about how they're affected and
26:15
like you know they tweet or whatever but
26:17
it's not the same as hearing somebody
26:18
say my daughter like watches the show
26:21
and is you're like a role model like 14
26:24
years old
26:25

26:27
that's fine are you taking it on do you

26:38
shows like in Austin at like um just for
26:40
