Black Comedy in America - Season 1

About This Project

Summary

Black Comedy in America is the history of the nation through the eyes and ears of one of its defining art forms: comedy. Throughout the season, hosts Tiffany Haddish, Chris Spencer, and Ryan Davis take us on a trek across the annals of Black comedy. They interact with comic legends and cultural figures - often at the very location where history was made - to understand the ways Black comedy has shaped America and the world at large.

Goals & Objectives

The series aims to provide unique perspectives on the evolution of the art form and shine a light on how Black comedy has upended and transformed notions of race and America. It seeks to reflect culture across generations - where we’ve come from, where we’re headed, and how we got that way.

Results & Impact

Black Comedy in America is a reflection of culture across generations. Funny and profound, serious and heartfelt, it is a memorable journey that pulls in multiple common threads while making us laugh at the same time.
