Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. My guest tonight is the creator and star of the Emmy winning HBO series of Black Lady Sketch Show.
Starting point is 00:00:27 She can currently be seen in the new prime video film, Candy Kane Lane. Please welcome Robin Thitty. How are you, Queen Theatie? You know, just in the Christmas spirit. That's right. I never thought I would be three inches tall, but the benefit is I had like a two inch waist. Okay. So that was fun. Did you get those heels from Ron DeSantis? So, yeah, baby, I don't want to know what's in his club.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Probably Lindsay Graham. Now, no why? Probably Lindsay Graham, but listen, now, Oh no. This, he's like, now why am I in it? You know why. All right. Now, this movie seems pretty fantastical. Yes. There are elves and magic and black Santa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:14 But, now that's facts. The villain is a white woman. Yes. So is it fiction or not? Yeah. Oh my God, who knows, right? It is funny to imagine a black Santa too. That's what's so exciting, right? Because, you know, I grew up with the typical white Santa and all the, and all the books and everything.
Starting point is 00:01:36 So, yeah. But I think now, you know, I think the world's ready for a black Santa, why not? Do you think the world is ready tha tha tha thi w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w wi? thi? thi? thi? I thi? I thi? I thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th? It is th? It is th? th? It is th? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi the world is ready to tell kids that Santa isn't real? You think that's inappropriate? Hmm. You know, when I was growing up, so my parents definitely wanted me to believe in Santa? But my aunt was like, you know Santa thu. And I was like six, you know, and like, and the... She had a witness? No, but my babysitter babys babys babys babystold us we was going to hell because we were, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:08 not Jehovah's Witnesses. Which I was like, that don't feel like a tenet of your religion. But, um, but so my aunt told us, and like as an adult, I was like, now my aunt was sleeping with somebody other than my uncle. So I feel like. Like, if she told me Santa wasn't real, I said to my uncle, your life ain't real. But it's too late. Also, that's a complete lie.
Starting point is 00:02:35 She wasn't cheating on him, but I thought that would be funny. I think... It was about to be a rough Christmas dinner for you. My od is literally like, how dare you. They never cheated. You know, I don't know. Here's a thing. Marriage is a sham and I think everyone should cheat. No, I'm just I don't know. You're clearly in the lying spirit today. I don't know what's happening. Why do you think Jesus doesn't headline is on birthday though? Just like Santa? Santa, the the Grinch they get more attention. That's a good point. Jesus. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the Grinch, they get more attention. That's a good point. Jesus didn't have good marketing. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah, and his friends were whack. They were either trying to be him or betray him, so. That's very true. Jesus got out early, like Tupac. You know, he was just like, he was like, I'm good. Yeah, Bill Marta. Exactly. All his album slap. I mean, if Jesus would have made albums, they would have been like top five, Jesus,
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah. Two-pock, Jay-Z, you know? For most of the movie, you play a Christmas figurine. I do. And Eddie Murphy is basically, he had an ear piece to hear what you were saying. Yes. That seems annoying. Do you want this this ear all the time? It was funny because the first day, we didn't know,
Starting point is 00:03:49 we thought their ear, so we would go rehearse on set as live people. Because Eddie and Tracy really, Tracy, really, Tracy Alice Ross is incredible in the movie too. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So funny. They wanted me, Nick, Nick Offerman and off off off off played all the figurines to be there in person, improvised together, get the feeling of it. Then we would go to these sound booths,
Starting point is 00:04:09 and they would hear us on the mic in their ears. And we thought they only heard us when they were rolling. But at the end of the day, Tracy, Tracy just goes, you know, we were just like being so annoying while they were trying to work. And they didn't tell us the whole first day, but after that, we learned, so we were tried to chill out. How many times did like shooting get delayed
Starting point is 00:04:32 because you guys were busy making everybody laugh and laughing every day? Every day. the end of the live action stuff. So we were there for months. Wow. And so we got to hang out with them and and you know,
Starting point is 00:04:54 just go crazy. And Eddie lights up, as does Tracy, when we go off script. Especially me and Chris Red. We were always trying to make them break. So we never made Eddie break, but he definitely made us. Why does he like that? Because you can't remember his lines. So better than the crease kind? Like, what do you?
Starting point is 00:05:09 Why do you like? Let me tell you how Eddie knows everyone's lines? OK. He is a professional. This manned. I think there's so many comedians in the movie. DC Youngfly, Angela Johnson, all these great people. So I think he just wanted that spirit. Yeah. Now, the last season of a black lady sketch show, aired this past spring.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That's right. Let's come out to that. The fact that the show was even allowed to exist is a huge accomplishment. that's right. That's right, let alone the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. picked up a lot of awards for it. It's inspiring an entirely new generation of black women. What sketch from the show are you most proud of? Probably the one where I play a man. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:53 One person is like, I saw it. I don't know, what am I most proud of? You know what? I think courtroom kiki, which is like the black lady courtroom. OK. Yeah, I think that's fun because it's like it just, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it just, it's like, the the show, the show, the show, the show, the the show, the which is like the black lady courtroom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so what do you do it? Okay? Yeah, I think that's fun because it's like, it just shows like black sisterhood in a really fun way that I think we don't get to experience very often. So people always tag me on social media when they have like two black ladies at any one place it kind of lives beyond the show.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So I think any of those sketches, like the Bad Bitch Support Group with Angela Bassett, like, you know, like we had a lot of fun. Like creating these iconic moments that you don't see anywhere else in that you will never see again, you never gonna see a 227 remake where we actually have to have Jack A. Harry, you know, just all these amazing. You have to have a black woman run show to do a 227 sketch. Absolutely. For sure.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And a lot of trust from HBO because I'm sure they were like, what do you're like, what? they're like, they're like, thrown. to make it. But, you know, for me, I don't want to like be Jordan playing baseball. You know what I mean? Like, I want to like leave the legacy there? And like, first of all, he was great at baseball. No shade to Jordan.
Starting point is 00:07:17 He's Michael Jordan. He's Michael Jordan. But I mean, that's the thing that he spent his life doing. So I just didn't want to be, I never, in anything that I do want to be like past my prime. So although I'm incredibly young, I think, yeah, so I feel good about it, but I'm always going to be a little sad. And I still think of sketches wherever I go, which is the problem, but you know, I never say never, you never know what can happen in the future, I the future, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thin, I'm th. And, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. th. th. theean, th. th. th th tha. tha. th th tha. th tha. th th tha, tha, tha, than, th know, I never say never, you never know what can happen in the future. It feels like, well, it feels like it did check off a lot of boxes the show did, because you know, black, it was women. It feels like slightly Hollywood may not be on the diversity push
Starting point is 00:07:54 that it once was. Do you think that had anything to do with the show? You know, I'm not coming back? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. th. th. the the their. their. their. their. It was their. It was. It was. the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. It it. It their. It their. It their. It their. It their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th the their their their their their, it you have noticed, most shows really don't go past like three seasons anymore. Yeah. I don't think the audiences really want to, um, want that as much. I don't know. I think there's very few shows that moving forward in this kind of climate in the industry are going to last like 20, 50, 80 seasons. I just think, you know, I think we're always looking for the new thing and no one wants to overstay their welcome. So I have such great partners at HBO and I'm still making shows with them. I have a new show that I'm working on with them. So they'll be more to come. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I always want to keep it pre. That's right. So we may not have the black lady. Yes. That's right. That's right. Candy Kane is screaming now on Prime Video.

You know music meets us where we are that's the beauty of a Charlemagne is that music is there to help and heal it's a constant and a life that doesn't have many constants in it so I'm just glad to see the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song the song to the song to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that's to to that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the song. the the song. the to the the the the to the the to the to. to to to to to tho. to that's to that's that's that's to to to the. tou tou I love your story too man 15 years ago you went in prison and now you're a Grammy nominated musician so I guess my question is yeah yeah exactly they're giving it away somea to find success yeah exactly they're giving it away free, y'all, especially.

Might see a high school friend. And I love your song, she too, when you address the heroin and fentanyl epidemic. Why is this song so important to you? You know man I think it's important as an artist for us to talk about the things that people are afraid to talk about and that art sometimes is an expression of what words are even afraid to say so I think it's a responsibility as a songwriter to write those kind of songs and the fentanyl epidemic is sickening what's what's happening in in in th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the thi. thi. the is the is the is the is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the is thi.

Starting point is 00:11:45 I think it's, thank y'all. So, I think I heard a statistic that it's 14 people an hour, overdose and die in the United States of America every hour on the hour. Damn. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 366 in a leap here, I'm that country. But, but, and I think if you think, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you th, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you think, if you thi, thi, if you're thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. th. th. th. th. th. But, but, and I think if you think about those numbers alone, it shows me that you heard people here sharing that it has affected every household, every side of the aisle, everybody in America has been affected by this somewhere or the other, and I think it's time we stand up and do something about it.

Starting point is 00:13:25 and that all that matters, representing your people in music, because they didn't care about representing nothing but Memphis. And the fact that the sound went worldwide just shows that how much the problems are common everywhere, so write what you know. Don't write what you know. And they taught me a lot to that,

That's why God didn't make me skinny. He knew I'd abuse the power. You know what I mean? Now, I saw you post the picker you meeting Dolly Parton this past month. As a country artist from Tennessee, is that like your version of
Starting point is 00:15:39 meeting the Pope? Oh dude, yes. It was like meeting Jay-Z. Okay. It was that big. It couldn't have got no bigger for me. She's the queen. She's, I've never seen, I don't know what you know, you're from the south, but I don't know what you all know about a little town called Severeville, Tennessee. It's where Dolly Parton's from, and before Dolly Parton was from there, the history of East Tennessee. You wouldn't have cared no severe real Tennessee. I mean, it was a map dot is what we call. It was a dot on the map, dude.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It made Monk's corner look big. Really? What was the population? Yeah, I mean, God, back then, nothing. I mean, probably in the early thousand. But she went back to build Dollywood and hasto her stance, the way she carried herself. Dolly Parton is her philanthropy. She is who I aspire to be, man. That's dope. That's dope. I was reading, um, I was reading a interview that the black kid, the black keys did recently. Yeah, and they said, I you thought they were making jokes on you so

Starting point is 00:19:33 I said, boy, you better say something that matters. And I just kind of, if you ever come to a jelly roll show, you'll see that.

Starting point is 00:20:13 Well, no, because I don't expect to win anything. Man, stop. Stop. I saw you say that, man. I'm nominated for a Grammy. And I'm just like, dude, I'm afraid that if I actually won a Grammy Charlemagne I would just snot rock it the whole time. That would definitely go back. And then they have to turn the music on and I'm just weeping like a child. That could be dope though you can be the new Michael
