A Black Lady Sketch Show

is, people are petty and I love it.

So, and you know what's funny is like before Black Lady Sketch Show came out and I could talk about it, we were, it was like, it was like, it's a big secret.

Like you can't talk about it.

You can't take photos in your trailer, all this shit.

Um, and also follow me @D-I-V-A-L-A-C-I, @divalaci on all platforms.

And guys, A Black Lady Sketch Show, April 23rd.

Yes.

I will scam myself back onto television.

I, I...

This is one of my favorite bits from, uh, Black Lady Sketch Show from, from Dr. Hadassah Olayinka, uh, pre-PhD talking about, "Look, look, look, see, see, see, here, here, here." [laughs]

Yeah.

No. [laughs]

That's what I want.

The Black Lady Sketch Show.

Yes.

Which I wanted to watch so bad.

Do you know the, uh, Black lady, uh, sketch-

Black Lady Sketch Show?

Yeah.

[laughs]

And when I say least talked about, I mean for those regular folks who don't know what's happening behind the scenes.

Erika, welcome to the show.

Mm-hmm.

So in 2022, I was working on three television shows.

I was working on Black Mirror, I was working on Girls on the Bus, and I was working on A Black Lady Sketch Show.

And I was very nervous, 'cause I had never done three shows, let alone actually two shows at once, fully, 100%.
