voting done i-realized
We always look at gerrymandering and what it has done to voting in America, but what I realized the other day is that the news has somehow become gerrymandered and is continuing to be gerrymandered in America.
planning
No one knows what Donald Trump is doing or planning.
amazing comedians comics dry explore love
I'm not a confrontational person or comedian. I think we can explore more things if one of us is not fighting with the other. I take it easy. But I do like comedians who are very different from myself: I love dry comics with deadpan one-liners. I look on and think, 'That's amazing; why didn't I think of that?'
doors play add
I often feel like the woman in your life is your driving force. She's your muse. She plays a big role in determining how confident you feel when you walk out the door. She can add 1,000 kilowatts of energy - or drain that out of you. She said, "No, you're not that funny." I thought, She knows better than anyone.
views groups news
Our go-to source is no longer dictated by a small group of cable news outlets. We have to expand our view. Sometimes, a story is made and breaks on Twitter. We have to find a way to react to that, to consume and also disseminate the information from Twitter, which is not an easy thing to do.
gay rights progressive
In an American context, let's say gay rights or marriage policy - that's a progressive thing. I understand that in an American context.
ebola people identity
I love ebola jokes. When done in the right way, maybe it gets people to learn about ebola, to learn about the stigmas behind the identities held by Africans and so on.
news spheres normal
There's news that happens in different spheres and can be made just as funny, but it's not necessarily in the normal news medium.
political trying way
I'm not a political progressive, but I consider myself a progressive person. What makes me a progressive, in my opinion, is the fact that I try to improve myself and by large improve the world that I'm in - in the smallest way possible.
white people black
When I first started doing comedy, there was no such thing as a room that had black people and white people in it. That didn't exist.
comedian world comedy
Comedy is crowded. There are hundreds of comedians in every place in the world.
citizens world
I've lived many places all over the world, so I've always seen myself as a citizen of the world.
laugh share
If you laugh with somebody, then you know you share something.
africa african awkward black born family grew illegal laws mix mixed obviously people south system
I was born in South Africa during apartheid, a system of laws that made it illegal for people to mix in South Africa. And this was obviously awkward because I grew up in a mixed family. My mother's a black woman, South African Xhosa woman... and my father's Swiss, from Switzerland.
