• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Last time I saw a dude, an older black dude
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that looked that young was Smokey Robinson. I tell you what,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Al and Craig's makeup is way different than the s * * *
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they got at Fox News.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you something.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I think they, man, they use Glenn Plummer 7 down there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They can't, oh my goodness. They use the same, they
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: use the same makeup on them as they use on
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman. You can't even tell, man. Yeah, for real.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, comedian actress Nissy Nash.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: How you doing? I am so happy to be here.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Likewise.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I just adore you.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Right back at you for real.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I saw you. I think it was a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: bunch of actresses and you were talking to her. It
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was a clip of you talking about how you didn't
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: want to play any more sassy black maids or sassy
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: black friends or sassy. It was the Hollywood Reporter Roundtable.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And and you you spoke like I just it was
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: just such a plain spoken way to address an issue.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And you can see them look like, I didn't know
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: she was going to say this.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Well, that's because when the interviewer asked the question, we
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: all went around and had to answer. And the question was,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: what is it that you don't want to do? You know, people,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be objectified by men. I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: want to, you know, everybody had a list. And I
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: just was like, well, here's mine.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And what a good one it was.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not interested. I've done it. You know, and I
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: want to play something else other than a sassy black something.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Can you put a little more sass?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: No, I sure can't.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I think that was a very important thing when I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: saw it. I loved it because I felt, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of times as black women, you get pigeonholed
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: into being one particular thing. And, you know, you're so talented.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Why do you have to play one particular role all
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the time? It makes no sense.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Well, the interesting thing about that is that Hollywood was kind,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: but they were very clear in that you have a lane.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: It was like you do over-the-top... It was nice of you, yeah. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: over-the-top broad comedy. And they would not... let me do
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: anything else. And even though I was like, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I want to try this over here. No, no, no, no, no.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: We got you right over here. You keep doing that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: You know, and we wanted to come with the neck
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: roll and the finger point and all of it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: And I just was like, I'm over it. And I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: finally got someone to see me for a dramatic role.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: And that was when I did Getting On on HBO.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: And I ended up being nominated for an Emmy. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I was like, see, He.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Told me I have to win.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I told you. Now you're going to.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Roll your neck.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You're going to learn today. You know, you went, you've
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: been on series after series after series. Now you have
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: your own. That's a testament not only to your talent,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but to how fine people are of you. Because I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: know a lot of talented people who stay home a lot, too.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of talented people that can't seem to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: find the lanes to keep their career kind of moving along.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And you always have. You go from one thing to another.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I think that says something about who you are as
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a performer and as a human being.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you. And second of all,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the one thing that I will tell you is that
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: let me just say how I move. If I get
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a job, I'm going to make sure some other people
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I know eat because of that job. And I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: care what it is, PA, assistant, director. You got music
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you can do. Let me have it. Let me submit it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And so because I feel like I don't want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: be selfish in any blessing, I want to pay it
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: forward to multiple people.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I just feel like the universe responds in kind. It
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: just keeps circling around.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Right. I like to keep young people around, like Gar said,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: because I don't have to pay them. You know, it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: funny because no one would have slaves, but people would
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have interns. I don't beat on me or anything.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That's nice. Not physically.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Every day I come in and question myself.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't beat on myself. Oh, Kyle.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: This isn't the time for a group chat. Keep going. Sorry.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about my problems later.
• 5:17

  Speaker 3: Former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lena Kahn warned on ABC's
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: This Week that allowing artificial intelligence companies to self-regulate would

  Speaker 3: at a recent White House summit. Off the coast of Massachusetts,
