The third episode of Season 3 of “Succession,” titled “The Disruption,” sees Kendall Roy prepare to go on a late-night talk show to poke fun at himself and his family drama, only to cancel last-minute as he buckles under the pressure of being in the hot seat — and after his own sister releases a scathing statement about his addiction and mental health. In a perfectly cast guest role,
, host of her own self-titled talk show on Showtime, plays late-night comedian Sophie Iwobi, who skewers Kendall and his “caucasian rich brain.”about how creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong rewrote the character to better fit her personality, improvising lines and what her future with the Emmy-winning drama looks like.I auditioned for it. I texted my agent, and I was like, “I love ‘Succession.’ It’s one of my favorite shows, and I’d love to audition for the show.” So I sent in a self-tape.
Kendall references “BoJack Horseman” in the show, which means “BoJack” exists in the “Succession” universe. Was it always the plan to create a fictional show and host instead of using your real-life show “Ziwe” on Showtime? I mean, there are elements of myself, but it’s a slight adjustment because I don’t exist in the “Succession” world. It really felt like I was walking into a new universe. I felt a lot of power; I was much crueler to Kendall Roy than I would be to any of my guests, so that was really exciting. You don’t have the ramifications of a real-life billionaire being upset with you because you made him have an emotional breakdown.
