Pushkin This is talk easy. I'm San Frigo, so welcome to the show. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Today I'm joined by comedian Larry Wilmore. For three decades Larry has worked in

comedy in various capacities as a stand-up, a writer on the office and in-living color, the creator of the Bernie Mac show in Grownish,

the co-creator of Insecure, and the host of the nightly show with Larry Wilmore,

which ran on Comedy Central back in 2015. Larry is now the host of Black on the Air through the Ringer Podcast Network.

It's part interview show, part Larry unpacking the news of the week.

He has a way of doing both really well.

In fact, if you look at his career, he has a way of doing a lot of things very well.

Often at once, in today's episode, we start by walking through his upbringing in Pomona, California, and why he used comedy as a a given growing up. On the back half he shares these creative lessons that come from

three decades of working in television, a medium he's undeniably had an impact on,

both creatively and politically. His career-long

focus on diversity of amplifying voices that were previously unheard, Stories, untold, has permanently changed the landscape of television.

Now, before we jump in, since I started the show in 2016, my dad and I have had these long rambling phone calls about

which people he would like to hear on Talk Easy, mainly Kevin Koesner. He really wants us to have Kevin Koesner on.

But aside from Kevin Koesner, at least five or six times in the last few years my dad has said when is Larry

Wilmore coming on the show I love Larry Wilmore you have to make that happen and

so at long last we've made it happen and I'm glad we did. This one like every

episode is for you the listener wherever you are and of course for my dad we'll figure out Kevin Kostner next. For today

here is the one and only. Larry Wilmore

Moore.
