Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">It’s Black History Month, and Sam is doing something a little different: building a Black Hollywood Mount Rushmore! Comedians and writers <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yassir_lester/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yassir Lester</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garrickbernard/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garrick Bernard</a> join Sam to debate which Black entertainers have left the biggest mark on the industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Plus, the trio unpacks how the entertainment industry has evolved for Black creatives, the impact of strikes and streaming, and what it takes for rising stars — like Yassir and Garrick — to carve out a lasting legacy in Hollywood.</p>
