Chris Spencer

Chris Spencer, a comedian and host of 'Black Comedy in America,' discusses the evolution and representation within Black comedy, emphasizing its cultural significance. Lynnette Grey Bull, founder of Not Our Native Daughters, shares her profound feelings about Indigenous Peoples' Day and the ongoing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis, advocating for change and healing. The conversation also touches on Barack Obama’s call to action for engaging Black male voters, diving into the complexities of representation and electoral dynamics.

Chris Spencer is the kind of guy the White House calls when they need a show business favor. How did he become so connected? In Chris's words, Black Hollywood is a small place. Chris talks with Marc about how his early comedy career paved the way for a big break as a late night talk show host. But when that opportunity fizzled from the start, Chris had to figure out how to redirect his talents. That new approach led to a lot of comedy writing and directing his first feature film with Kevin Hart, Wesley Snipes and Tiffany Haddish.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
