These white people are the redneck revolt. Now, they aren't a bunch of rednecks revolting against equality like I first thought.

They're actually rednecks revolting against the rednecks who are revolting against equality. I'll explain.

Hello and welcome to The Last Laugh. My name's Matt Wilstein and I'm a senior writer at The Daily Beast.

This week on the show,

a comedian I've had the pleasure of interviewing a bunch of times in the past and was super excited to get in our LA studio, W. Kamau Bell. Kamau came down here from Berkeley to talk about, among

other things, the fourth season of his show, United Shades of America, which is currently airing on CNN.

He told me what it's like to travel to all corners of the U.S. with Trump as president and shared his thoughts about the continued lack of diversity in late-night TV, six years after his previous

show, totally biased, was canceled. I can't wait to share our lively conversation with you,

so let's get right to it. This is the last laugh with today's guest, W. Kamau Bell.

Kamau, thank you for making the trip down from the Bay Area.

Well, thank you for letting me bully you into putting me on your podcast.

Yeah, I think you're probably the first and only comic to reach out to me directly on Twitter requesting to be a guest.

So, uh, so thank you for that.

Yeah, me too.
