In Ayo Edebiri's hosting premiere fresh from her Emmy win, we discuss the importance of civic engagement and accountability in Why'd You Say It, the ironic inclusion of power in satire in the CNN Town Hall South Carolina Cold Open, and the absurdities of (and opportunities associated with disrupting) white supremacy and normativity in Trivia Quest and People's Court - Bad Hair Day. Readings include topics of civic friendship, satire and power, whiteness, and the racial contract.
