whoever wrote this and the description did their thing very informative and well written
4 minutes and 20 seconds in and I'm already very entertained. I'm glad I'm from Queens and not anywhere else. I get to really appreciate New York stories.
This was the best Michael Che interview I’ve watched and I’ve watched a LOT. That hour flew by.
Michael Che is my guy! Proud to have him repping the culture!
Rrf
Che is the funniest, most intelligent voice currently on SNL. Loved seeing him on this conversational platform. Thanks for making this happen!
I heard this then came towat h it. Great both times and Ms Leigh needs to cherished, that smile is contagious.
Thank you 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great interview, as always. Thank you Talib, Jasmin & Michael!
I’m obsessed with this man.
Same w me sis
Talib....you need a mic my dude. Airpods are killin me here.
Great show but you gotta get rid off those air pods..audio quality is not the greatest.
*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !*
Patrice O'Neal was one of the most honest, vulnerable and introspective PEOPLE, not comedians, PEOPLE I've ever had the honor and pleasure of listening to. His interview by Marc Maron, his appearances on O&A, The Black Phillip Show, his stand up specials, his TV appearances...he's sorely missed. His perspective on current events, in my opinion, would be invaluable !
Rest easy Big Homie. ✊🏾✊🏾
Jasmine's smile makes us happy
😊😊😊😊
Che and Jost are the beat part of SNL. This irritation of Weekend Update is hilarious
Respect from Mexico.
Would like to see a Vinia Mojica interview ( if you could )one of the most over looked founding sisters of hip-hop
thank you
This is one of my comedy GOAT’s right here
Too good. Che got it. Also love he knows the LPN dudes.
“First of all, condolences to you and your family...” after forty sum minutes in! Come on Talib haha
Great interview.
This whole thing was good and I'm here for the justice, but y'all validating Kyle's at home SNL shit was spot on. THAT's the stuff Gen Z is looking for. SNL even today is making great decisions with the whole please don't disturb crew and all too.
💪🏾💯✊🏾 RESPECT ⚔️ HONOR !!!
Talib is coming out on the Jam Master Jay side of the game #Respect
"Matters" I put it up there with Eddie's "raw" instant classic.
Good talk,guys 🍻
Excellent conversation!
Big up to Michael Che for being able to address some of Talib’s questions in a way that won’t put his career in jeopardy. I’m sure if they were in that basement with no recording devices like Jas was talking about he would have kept it 💯 as fuk #blackpostionsmatter
So true about going to New York City Public High Schools you get to be meet people from all over the city that you would have otherwise not run into that's true from all of the city schools in Manhattan specifically.
MICHAEL CHE: 4 TIME ROUND TABLER OF THE YEAR
Yo Talib......when are you going to interview Brother J from X-CLAN??
Where is the studio the guests are appearing in? Che's in the same room Common was.
Don't let those pods fry your brains. Go back to wire. We must protect Kweli at all costs.
