When the comedian and writer Ziwe first went viral during the pandemic for her
gotcha-style interviews with celebrities on Instagram Live, people couldn’t get
enough. Today, she joins Dua to talk about all things funny, from finding comedy
in increasingly unfunny times to facing cancelations both metaphorical and
literal in the past few years.
In what’s truly our most laugh-out-loud episode of the series, Ziwe dives deep
into her comedic roots and takes us into the future of funny, touching on
everything from her rating on the website wikiFeet (yes, really!) to the impact
the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG strikes will have on Hollywood. If
you’re looking for an episode as equally brimming with insight as it is with
jokes, then this one is tailor-made for you.
