'2 Dope Queens' star Phoebe Robinson (dopequeenpheebs) lands Comedy Central interview show
Robinson is set to star in and executive produce an interview series for the Viacom-CBS owned cable network, which has ordered 10 episodes. The untitled show is the first project from her recently formed production company, Tiny Reparations.
The series will feature one-on-one interviews and "unique experience" with pop culture luminaries. Robinson, who describes herself as a workaholic who usually works from home, will leave the house and meet the people she's admired from afar. "This show will hit that sweet spot between educational and charmingly ignorant," said Robinson. "Who doesn’t love that? Well, all older black people who struggled and marched for my rights. But besides that, everyone else does!"the Comedy Central show was in the works before her ABC pact was finalized and thus falls outside it.
"Phoebe is everything we look for in a creative partner. She's hilarious, brilliant, relatable and not afraid to be provocative," said Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen, co-heads of original content at Comedy Central. "This unique format is the perfect vehicle for her, as she gets some of today's most fascinating people to show us a new side of themselves, while we also get to spend more time with the incredibly compelling Phoebe.
