Ziwe: What's funny these days?

Dua Lipa: At Your Service

Available for 170 days

When the comedian and writer Ziwe first went viral during the pandemic for her gotcha-style interviews with celebrities on Instagram Live, people couldn’t get enough. Today, she joins Dua to talk about all things funny, from finding comedy in increasingly unfunny times to facing cancelations both metaphorical and literal in the past few years. In what’s truly our most laugh-out-loud episode of the series, Ziwe dives deep into her comedic roots and takes us into the future of funny, touching on everything from her rating on the website wikiFeet (yes, really!) to the impact the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG strikes will have on Hollywood. If you’re looking for an episode as equally brimming with insight as it is with jokes, then this one is tailor-made for you.
