Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In Living Color: Keenen Ivory Wayans on Fearless Comedy, Working with Family, and Letting Go of Ego
Q: What does the phrase no vanity in comedy mean to you, and why is it important for actors to be willing to look goofy for the joke?
It means heroes of comedy should be willing to appear unglamorous if the character demands it; true performers remain beautiful but the character isn't, and the joke drives the outcome.
