Actor, writer, comedian, musician, and internet icon Jaboukie Young-White joins Kyle for a conversation about the winding path that took him from Chicago to The Daily Show, Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, and beyond. They dive into why stand-up is his "first language," the rush of getting his first big laugh, the Twitter jokes that accidentally changed internet history, and why unemployment might just be the secret ingredient to going viral. Jaboukie also opens up about juggling acting, comedy, music, and woodworking, and takes on a very cursed round of What Are We Even Posting? where he channels Shrek, the USPS, SpongeBob, and more.
