A Black Lady Sketch Show/That Damn Michael Che
HBO/HBO MAX
There were only three nominees for “Best Variety Sketch Series” at this year’s Primetime Emmys. Saturday Night Live, Drunk History, and one of the shows mentioned below, A Black Lady Sketch Show. It seems like Black sketch shows haven’t been a factor since Key and Peele, but there might be a resurgence.
Season 2 of the Robin Thede created sketch show premiered in April and delivered six episodes to make us not think about the pandemic for 30 minutes.
The SNL co-head writer has his own sketch show based around his real-life and delivering his perspective on vaccines, the police, dating, and the entertainment industry.
