On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes comedian, writer, performer, and podcast host Rae Sanni to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are “Coming Attractions” with Dave and George, intersectionality, boundaries, and mental health at the Olympics, and the upcoming conclusion of HBO’s “White Lotus.” Rae discusses her return to New York, her experience writing on the multiple Emmy Award nominated “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” the weight of politics in the “President Show” writers’ room, and her deep love for reality TV. This week’s game has Rae and the fellas comparing reality TV shows to fashion accessories from “The Bachelor’s” wedding rings to the Housewives’ Kentucky Derby hats to the Kardashians’ Timberlands! In today’s Last Call, George preps for his upcoming comedy shows at Beauty Bar and Mama Tried while Dave prepares to attend his first outdoor concert since the lockdown with none other than the Roots! Producer Mary Bess brings good news and bad news in the form of Representative Cori Bush’s win in convincing President Biden to extend the country’s eviction moratorium, while many houseless Americans continue the fight for rights and protections.
