Ego Nwodim didn't know she was funny until a stranger told her she was.
Nov 15, 2019 @ 5:30 pm-style Discover Card employee, a “thirsty” cop, or a “bad girl” named Rae Rae, Ego Nwodim’s intention remains the same: to make people laugh.star is keenly focused on when it comes to comedy and the figurative line that separates well-meaning, funny jokes from offensive ones. It’s a discussion many people have had in regard to Shane Gillis, the comedian who was hired and subsequently fired fromafter homophobic and racist jokes he’d made in 2018 resurfaced.
No, that'd be a fun segue to say, but no, it wasn't. I started taking improv in 2012 per the urging of my managers and agents at the time and I was a little resistant at first. And then I took improv and I was like,"Oh, this is where I want to be. This is where I feel the most me and I'm having the most fun."Was that like you trying to please your parents, or ... ?
The culture is pretty amazing. We have a pretty big cast right now and it's all people that are so incredibly talented. Some people I grew up watching, so that's pretty remarkable. Sometimes I have to pinch myself and be like,"Wait, I'm here working with this person, what?" So I loved the “Mid-Day News” sketch that you co-wrote. Do you have any conflicting feelings about finding humor in stereotypes?
The intention matters. I think that you have to be sure you're saying something for a reason and you also need to make sure you're not abusing your privilege. And you have to be aware of your privilege in order to know whether or not you're abusing it. And I think these are the kind of introspective assessments people need to be making with themselves. So it's hard to draw any hard and fast rules in any case.No, I have not.
So on a lighter note … They say never meet your heroes, which I feel like is like an occupational hazard for you.I've never really been a starstruck person to begin with. There's a few people who, if I met, I'd probably be at a loss for words and gasping for air, but there are very few people that would have me that way.I would freak out if I got to meet Jamie Foxx. He's just the best! He's the best to me.
