You're listening to Comedy Central, Please welcome, Welcome to the show here. Thank you for having me. I'm beyond excited to be here. You're beyond excited. I am enthralled by everything that you're doing, genuinely, because like you have what has quickly become like people's favorite show on TV. Because yeah, because I mean we just saw in that clip you've created a show that is uniquely you and that you'll interview people and it's like the most awkward interview of all time. People would say that I don't make it awkward on purpose. I'm just a little strange. Okay, But but here's the thing. So I remember when you first started this was it wasn't on YouTube originally, right, and then it really blew up on Instagram, like during the pandemic, and I would watch people and they would talk to you on Instagram, like the biggest celebrities and be like, oh, I'm gonna look, let's see what interview me? And they look like idiots sometimes and then other times they just looked like they didn't know what was going on, And I was like, why why do they How do you get the people to keep talking to you? Well, I celebrate icons, and I enable icons to say iconic things. So when people come to the show, do they know the vibe ahead of time? Yes? Okay, the episodes are available for stream meg but but it seems like they don't expect it sometimes like they feel, you know, like we love it as the viewers, and then we watch like your your guests, and it's it seems like they've just been hit by like a ten time truck. Yeah. I think, well, so I am very personable and so I can neck with them, and maybe that's surprising that I'm so kind and hospitable. I also love that the show has like all these these these segments that you've created that have gone not just viral, but it's like into people's hearts. So you know, we've got the guest segments where you interview people. Um, you also have the music, which there's gonna be an album at some point. Yes, ye, yes, definitely definitely. I identify as a pop star. Yes, because I love what was Don't be poor Stop being? Yes, that's a thank you, thank you guys. Are you guys living by Reagonomics today. It's a very powerful song. It's like the lyrics don't match a fee, but it's like it's a yeah, yeah, I I like, I just think that trickle down economics it works. And I think if you look at yourself in the mirror and say stop being poor, eventually it'll happen. And that's why I'm ready for Congress. It it feels like this is the kind of show that you probably couldn't have made years and years ago. Like it's so unique, it's so you, it's so specific. It's it's loved by people who know exactly what the show is about. Like, do you think you could have always done this? Has this always been like a brand of comedy? Um? So can I have always done this? No? Because this show pulls from like Real Housewives and Eric Andre and Colbert Report, So these things didn't exist fifteen years ago. Um, but the brand of comedy is consistent. Again, this is my personality. Um, it's a hyperbolic character, but there's a kernel in there. This is you, like deep down inside. I mean, I Z way am kinder than the characters the way you are. Also you are also um, supremely talented, not just as the characters the way, but as yourself I mean writing, like creating, performing, the whole you have like a very specific vision for what you want. Some people don't get it at all, Like I heard that your parents don't. They don't get what you do. Know, they have no understanding of what I do. Do your parents are when you do well? My mom sort of she goes like I talked to people. I guess she's sort of but I but but yeah, she gets I think she gets it a little bit more, you know what I mean. My parents think that I just talked to GAYL King for a living so like once the year, they see me on CVS this morning and they're like, wow, girls, great. They are they proud of you? Though, because I don't like Nigerian parents are like very proud when their kids do any Like Nigerian parents are just like you, you're crushing it whatever you're doing, So are they proud of what you're doing? They're definitely proud of what I'm doing, although they do wish that I was a doctor. But it's a little later. That's what I was wondering because Nigerian parents have that vibe very much like what are you doing on TV? Are you causing trouble? They literally like, don't tell people your last name? We don't want people to know who you are. Wow. Wow, Um, so you have all these guests on the show. You have I mean like like in that clip for instance. So for people who don't understand the context, Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks's son, Yes, he like blew up again online because like you know, he'll speak, he'll say things like in patois and then people will like, oh, you're appropriating Jamaican culture. And it was a really interesting story though, because Jamaicans were like, we love this guy. He's doing it properly. He understands our culture, this is our vibe. And the people in America were like, this is disgusting. Don't do it. And Check was like, I don't give a damn what anyone says. I don't care about you. But then you got him to come on your show. No, he doesn't like speak to anybody. How did you get him to come up? And I went to college together and so yeah, fun fact and so um. I tried to poot him for my Instagram live and he did not want to do that. And then we had a guest dropout. He was we were texting, he was congratulating me for whatever, and I asked again and he flew in two days later. That's amazing. I just would like come, come and come and check. Yes, it's great that text Hanks, thank you. Thank Do you think for your cloud Hacks? Um, No, it's it's it was great. I mean he asked, he asked if we could promote his fitness app, which we do on the show. So it was about twenty minutes of chat in the next episode. I like that. Yeah, Chester of Marlon Hanks, you gotta love him. You also interviewed Charlemagne the God. Yes, yes, Leonard, and I mean he's he's a controversial figure, like you know for some people and others are like, oh, he's just doing his thing. Was that like a clash of the Titans for you? Was it a clash of the Titans? No? I I like to think that I'm embracing every single one of my guests, giving them a warm hug. I like that, you think that's I like that they have this feeling. You know, who do you think being your favorite guests? Like of season one at least, it's hard to every guests are like children. You can't pick a favorite, but you can you can. But like Friendly Boys is so different than Andrew Yang. It's different than Pope Bridger. Is there different energies? Yeah, but you can't, but you can pick. Every parent knows. Every parent deep down inside knows knows. They say they don't child, that's why you say that no no, no no, no no, I've got I've got two brothers and my mom knows. I mean, it's like it's like every parent. Every kid also assumes it is them, by the way, but I think every parent knows. What do they say? Oh okay, so you won't say but you know, so don't say it.
