Comedian Ziwe Fumudoh has made a career out of discomfort.
Her career started with her YouTube series “Baited,”a satire of the celebrity interview. During the pandemic she pivoted to Instagram Live, unflinchingly challenging her iconic guests about their own biases, all the while making viewers simultaneously laugh and cringe.

We sat down with her to discuss this new show and what her future looks like.
