Larry Wilmore is a comedy legend and cultural force – but you’ve never heard him like this.

The creative mind behind Grown-ish, Insecure, and The Bernie Mac Show joins My Legacy for an unfiltered, unforgettable conversation – this time, alongside someone who knows him best: his daughter, Lauren Wilmore.

Hosted by Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, this episode is part masterclass, part family roast, and all heart.

Larry gets real about the moment that nearly broke him, the truth about failure, and his unfiltered take on what’s really wrong with America. Lauren shares the one piece of advice from her father that changed her life. Plus: never-before-heard behind-the-scenes moments – from Jon Stewart’s pep talk before Larry’s The Daily Show debut, to mentoring Quinta Brunson, to the shock of getting fired after winning an Emmy.

If you’ve ever faced setbacks, questioned your path, or just needed a reminder to stay grounded—Larry and Lauren deliver wisdom, wit, and warmth that will leave you laughing and deeply moved.

Don’t miss this rare father-daughter conversation—only on My Legacy.
