Description

This week, Becky sits down with award-winning writer-performer Ashley Nicole Black (Ted Lasso, A Black Lady Sketch Show), to discuss pivoting to comedy while pursuing a PhD at Northwestern University, the art of balancing dual roles as both actor and writer on the same show, and why we say: "God bless Bill Lawrence" as often as possible.
