Zainab Johnson on Being A Beautiful Comedian, Wanda Sykes' Advice and The Special "Hijabs Off"

[@MaTua40]

She is styled like a cool BOND Villain!! stunning!

[@colstonlchinese]

Her facial beauty is eye-catching and her comedy is intelligent and memorable.

[@DuffLuv56]

I ❤ that Zainab shouted out Yameneka as one of her favs!

[@mimij5015]

I smiled troughout this interview. The gems, the funny, the melanin, the principles, the intelligence, the depth, the grace. Joy.

[@PRESTO5796]

Indonesia and Southern Philippines are proud ✨Muslim countries …jus sayin’…..I just found Zainab’s “Hijabs Off “and I’ve watched it 5 times in January 2024..still rewatching it👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌟💥🔥

[@TCBP253]

Great interview! So glad she spoke to the racism within the Islamic religion/faith/community. The anti-Blackness is baked into the community although Black/African people are at the foundational core of the faith. Same can be said for most of the organized/westernized/easternized faith traditions.

[@Memphispep]

I just saw Zainab for the first time last night and I couldn’t stop watching her videos! Absolutely HILARIOUS!! I’m looking forward to seeing you live!! 💝🙏🏾🌹

[@GoddesssofMind]

Absolutely adore her. Very talented ❤

[@Own.lee.who.men.516]

I can definitely see her playing Diana Ross in a Biopic. Not just the asthetic but I think she has the capability of capturing her whole essence. She is a very talented woman. Bravo!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@honeyg3589]

I first saw Zainab in the Amazon Prime Video series “Upload” and remember thinking: wow, she’d be a great comedian! It turns out that she’s *been* a great comedian!

[@k2kfitchannel944]

yeassss

[@tricie79]

so intelligent, so genuine and beautiful. Excellent interview

[@patriceagyeman8794]

Zainab Johnson is my new favorite comedienne!!

[@kennethroberts8448]

She is special. Wonderful.

[@mimij5015]

I love all types of comedy, but storytelling is my favorite.

[@sumaiyyaht]

Absolutely ❤ HER , her presence AND her story. Just stunning all round Masha'Allah!!!

[@guyeaston5265]

Zainab is an Icon in the making.

[@CTEagleCeltic]

Been watching since she opened with her name as the punch line… love her on Upload too, very underrated

[@kennosen1]

She is amazing. Very talented 🎉

[@daniel.j9062]

She's definitely both a very beautiful and intelligent individual!!

[@whiskeybrown262]

🌎Zainab is how we want the world to see US.

[@tuvaraking3543]

I had forgotten that when I was first introduced to Zainab she was bald!! Great interview as always.

[@corysanon7084]

Love her on the Amazon show: Upload!

[@GoddesssofMind]

She could have easily became a model or actress. Easy.but she’s actually funny and I love her as a comedian bc obviously she’s easy on the eyes but also funny, humble n relatable

[@nancystlouis8654]

Not just your face but also your tone. You are sooo funny

[@williambond7825]

I love that you are down to earth funny. Natural funny is better than trying to be funny.

[@Memphispep]

Toure, what a wonderful Show!! I’m so glad I found you! Thank You for doing what you do💝🙏🏾🌹

[@bbdass4598]

She is beautiful unique but intelligent comedy. She has the same intelligence as Dave Chappelle. Its smart.

[@vc6218]

She’s very very intelligent!!

[@yudeen979]

ZAINAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBUUUHHH!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽❤❤❤❤❤

[@lizdickerson7038]

Zainab drops gems!

[@cwin721]

I remember when she performed on the reboot of the Arsenio Hall show. She is so funny. I enjoyed her special too

[@ambertierra82]

She is very classy and intelligent. She reminds me of Kari Washington? Am i the only one? I feel like they could be sisters..

[@samsunguser3438]

I can see and hear that

[@AEHarris]

I've often said she is a female style of Chapelle delivery. Her Authenticity and Intellect makes you laugh but also teach you a new perspective. It's a consciousness but not necessarily conscious comedy.

[@tysonl.taylor-gerstner1558]

Already from the intro I think I get it. So many people tell me I am funny and I just don't see it. At least not in the times they think I am being funny. But maybe it is in my face LOL. I mean I think I am being ironic or perhaps a bit facetious... I have been told I should be a commedian but at the that was also well over 20 years ago.

[@eaqua56]

If they ever do a movie about Diddy, she should play Kim Porter

[@beachlover9705]

Love her! smart funny and beautiful and always classy

[@MaTua40]

I am definitely using this look as reference for character design

[@ghostandiv]

Peace & Blessings!!!

[@ADyani6]

Loooved this interview

[@Laurenlilly902]

This girl is comedy gold!!!!❤❤

[@MrLotto22]

Love you Z you are right where you supposed to be. You was always funny from a youth💯💯☑️ H world.MCSM stand up😎

[@stacythomas5072]

I got to see her live in LA and it was really fun. Love her Amazon special too.

[@PKy-q8f]

Her face is Gorgeous

[@bnicebnice2211]

Chappelle is the Goat. Been keeping a eye on her since Upload !

[@lani2894]

She has spoken as a woman that comes from a lot of siblings. I completely understand her. I have 7 siblings.

[@BoxerBriefs4]

This was an awkward interview. Maybe the host was lost in her sauce and wanted to be impressive, but the conversation kept going over his head. 🥴

[@footedan1973]

It's like trying to explain the internet to your great grandparents, lol

[@mimij5015]

Now, I'm going to go check out Yamaneika Saunders. 🚶🏿‍♀️

[@AviBel333]

Another wildly funny human being.

[@Piasays]

Love her

[@schemainevent]

Love her♥️❤️💕

[@abubarrie88]

Zainab is funny and pretty. She looks a lot like Dawn Richard.

[@blazebrown9102]

Expressions can tell whatcha really feel occasionally. I'll checkout her comedian craft.

[@msde625]

I wear a mask at my job...and people can still "see" my expressions. 😂 My eyes are saying everything! 🤣 If I "turn off my eyes"... I'MMA BE SLEEP!😂🤣😅😁

[@marckristian81]

Love my chocolate sisters!

[@Zesty006]

Now I love my name......

[@mimij5015]

As you should. Rocking our name is part of rocking. Period.

[@ohn5522]

Zainab Johnson ❤

[@iTuber012]

Why not be a comedian and a model? Unless she's plainly disinterested in that. In today's world it's best to wear many hats for different sources of income

[@comedienneaugustoneal]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@VivianNewman]

I’d like to hear her tackle science 🧬

[@yvonnemurphy7506]

#ImaVIBE ❤🔥👑 #diamondcut

[@eboniesmith5180]

Close your eyes, she sound like Thelma from Good Times

[@lapx1]

It's that overbite for me

[@footedan1973]

So comical how all this tech is suppose to make communication easier, but it be making basic human communication as confusing as fu... lol

[@teddyotul]

#itsnotaboutwhatyoulooklike

[@footedan1973]

Yes. Why texting sucks for jokes, they can't see you laugh or have look, so they think your serious, you get the hate texts, you like what the fuc. , then you fingers burning trying to correct the sit, then then they pop, off , with something rude, you be like you didn't have to go there, so now you mad, lol, you fuc. This bit.. anyway, lol, then one or both block each other for a week or so until you ain't bad, then neither one wants to admit you been on block lol , I go though this on a bi monthly basis with my besty, by now the hole thing comical.

[@JoelLittle-mm8ed]

Too thin,

[@jamillahjoseph2147]

This man just called a bunch of comediennes ugly and asked her to co-sign 🥴 like.. what? 🫣
