Baby, This is Keke Palmer

We’re taking a quick break and celebrating some of our favorite episodes! First up: the hilarious and talented Quinta Brunson! She helps us dive into the art of sitcoms, what it takes to make a successful one, and why they stand the test of time. I mean, what would TV be without them?!There is nothing like that feeling you get from watching a classic sitcom. You know the feeling right? When you’ve laughed your ass off AND learned some valuable life lessons, all within 30 minutes. Only a good sitcom could do that. So why did they go away?? In today’s episode we’re going down the rabbit hole on classic sitcoms to find out what happened to them. We’re joined by Quinta Brunson, creator and star of “Abbott Elementary.” We get into her love of sitcoms, the shows that inspired her, and some insider secrets on how she’s trying to bring the sitcom back. Plus, we reveal some unpopular opinions on recent TV comedies, and you might be surprised to find out which fan favorite show we don’t love.Listen to Baby, This is Keke Palmer on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
