Jay Pharoah is an hysterical comedian who’s on the cusp of a breakthrough. He feels his comedy and his understanding of himself coming together in a way that he really feels will soon lead to a creative breakthrough that will have people thinking of him in a whole new way. We talk about that and getting forcefully detained by LAPD and more. You can hear first half of this conversation here and the amazing back half is at Patreon.com/toureshow. Please support our team!

Toure Show Ep 3: Nikki Giovanni: How To Make It In Poetry Original Air Date: November 29, 2017 Nikki Giovanni is one of the greatest living poets in the world and a joy to be around. She’s funny, smart, humble, and undeniably cool. The best dinner guest imaginable. In this hour plus conversation from November of 2017 we talk about: • Her insight into Trump voters after a life lived in Appalachia. • The impact of watching domestic violence in her childhood home. • How she rebounded from a health scare by getting onstage. • What makes a great poem. • How she learned to cry. • Why she feels she needs to go into outer space.

Iyanla Vanzant is one of the most interesting guests I’ve ever had. In this talk she deeply analyzes the world, herself, me, everything. She’s a fountain of wisdom. I generally am skeptical of spiritual guru types but this woman is doing the work of saving people. And this conversation shows me how deeply she thinks and cares about people. It was an honor to get to know her. Let me know what you think. IG @toureshow twitter @toure.

Eddie Glaude is one of those brilliant intellectuals who makes the life of the mind seem cool. He’s an MSNBC star, a Princeton professor, and the author of Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own which mines Baldwin’s work for modern lessons. I’m a huge fan of Baldwin’s and a big fan of Glaude’s so this was a real treat.

Joy Reid’s ascension to MSNBC's vaunted 7pm weekday time slot makes her one of the few Black women to ever host a prime time news show so we had to dig into the archive and replay our interview from 2018. She digs into how she handles Trump surrogates on TV, how she dealt with getting fired while on the air, and how she survived the death of her mother just before she was set to go to Harvard. She’s an extraordinary person who’s both brilliant and hard working and I’m proud to call her a friend.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
