Ahead of ziwe's variety show premiere, take a look back at our conversation with the comedian.
—subverts what talk shows are. It satirizes what a celebrity interview means. This show is like, ‘Tell me your darkest secret about race.’ It’s really intrusive and intimate. It’s voyeuristic. You feel like you’re spying on an intimate dialogue between two friends. That’s my intention with the show, to create something that feels both wide to the audience and also acutely intimate, and to subvert how we think of talk shows, late night shows, and media in general.I don’t know.
So the idea that I get to spend my time sitting and thinking about what thoughts of mine are worth printing sounds like a good time.I don’t believe in cancel culture. Who has been canceled? I didn’t create the term so I won’t define it, but I think that it encompasses too much. On one hand, you can be canceled for tweeting something, or you can be canceled for being a racist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic misogynist. Those are two very different things.
