“They say that every artist’s first album is 15 years material and I think that’s true here. What you see in season one is so many of our ideas that often started at Jimmy Fallon and that we’re even too edgy for that audience that we’re like ‘let’s do it on IFC’,” added Salahuddin.
It features guest stars including Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor, Common, Morris Day, Tiffany Haddish, Lil Rel Howery, Quincy Jones, Mike Judge, Kenny and Keith Lucas, John Legend, Nigel Lythgoe, Curt Menefee, Vic Mensa, Tawny Newsome, Ne-Yo, Ray Parker, Jr., Mario Van Peebles, Damon Wayans, Jr., Marlon Wayans and Bresha Webb.
It is exec produced by John Legend and Frank Scherma, the chairman and CEO of the Television Academy, who runs RadicalMedia, alongside Riddle, Salahuddin Mike Jackson, and Ty Stiklorius and Jim Bouvet. Asked about their thought on the number of diverse sketch shows recently commissioned including HBO’s, featuring the UCB alums, Riddle, said, “We have no problem with being lumped in those people, we love Robin Thede and Issa Rae. It’s super cool that we’re all coming out at the same time. Not since the 1990s have you felt that you can be a black show and people won’t be like ‘is there space for more than one’.
