Larry Wilmore has a resume that could rival pretty much anyone's in Hollywood. Name a show and he probably had his hands in it. He created
The Bernie Mac Show, co-created
Insecure, wrote for shows like
In Living Color,
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and
The Office, and served as the "Senior Black Correspondent" on
The Daily Show. He also had his own late night show called
The Nightly Show.
Now, Wilmore is back in the hosting chair with a new show on the NBC streaming service Peacock. Sam and Wilmore chat about starting a new show from scratch in a pandemic, deconstructing 2020, and why that one episode of
The Office probably wouldn't fly today.
