Been watching Zazie’s movies and shows since Deadpool 2 and Geostorm. Awesome actor. Also if anyone was curious, Desus & Mero interviewed Erykah Badu on their old show and she talked about being a doula. 💪

[@gl3nnium]

I remember when she was cast as Domino in Deadpool 2 and I thought "WTF she looks nothing like that character". Hell in the movie she still didn't, but her portrayal was so wonderful that it's now the definitive version for me. In Joker her part wasn't huge but still so very important to that movie. A beautiful and talented actress.

I'm glad they've been doing interviews on a bodega set now, it fits the theme of the brand. A lot better than some generic set in the basement of the studio.

@@MarkSpizzle If you watch the behind the scenes from Season 1, it's white people awkwardly staring at the camera as Desus and Mero are just trying crack jokes, also the audience was stale.
