maybe.... and just maybe... she went to an audition and was actually the best personYeah he definitely never said she wasn’t funny. He said she hasn’t proven herself in front of a live audience for a full hour or longer set with jokes. So what got her picked over other, more ‘proven’ funny women for a role in something like Girls Trip which had three seasoned vets. He also said people love her because she’s ‘real’ but everybody has a real as fukk funny auntie/cousin/sister etc, does that make them all automatically comediennes. Seemed to me like he was getting at that she’s a funny actress - but not a comedienne - that was picked to be the face of black female comedy for otherreasons.
Unless somebody can point me to the part of the interview where he outright said she wasn't funny![]()

she actually said she had to audition 4 times after begging to get the first one... y'all think it's just that easy to tap dance your way into leading roles? reminds me of everybody thinking any random nikka could call QM and have the same hits as drake... c00ning ain't about to get you a movie part... that audition line is long as fukk. and somebody must have seen her perform if both wanda sykes and kevin hart saw her and tried to bring her up... same way chris rock brought wanda along when i'm sure there were other black female comedians who was out longer and put in more work... nikkas can't even discover their own talent now
