Ziwe S1-2
Born in the US to Nigerian parents, Ziwe Fumudoh is the host of Ziwe, a no-holds-barred mix of musical numbers, interviews and sketches that challenge our discomfort with race, politics, and other cultural issues.
Ziwe has earned back to back nominations from The Television Critics Association Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Variety, Talk or Sketch, as well as the Dorian Award for Best Current Affairs Program from GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.
Season 2 features guest appearances by the likes of multiple Emmy nominees Nicole Byer (A Black Lady Sketch Show) and Ilana Glazer (Broad City), RuPaul’s Drag Race fan favourite Katya Zamalodchikova, model, actress and author Emily Ratajkowski, and Mia Khalifa.
Vulture hails Ziwe as “iconic” and Vanity Fair says, “Ziwe perfected the art of putting people on the spot,”while Salon.com calls her show “both a true star-making platform and a spoof of the same.”
