Hosted by JB Smoove, this premium documentary series explores six Black comedy icons whose names may not be as well-known, but whose careers and style blazed a trail for today’s top entertainers. Their stories—told through interviews with friends, family members, and colleagues; as well as archival clips from standup sets and media appearances—offer not only a unique view into the comedy world, but also into the tectonic shifts in Black culture and politics they witnessed and shaped across the 20th and 21st centuries.
