Show Notes

Andrew Clark, director of the Humber School of Comedy joins This Matters to talk about TV comedy's racial reckoning, as several sitcoms have excised episodes featuring blackface on streaming platforms. This is a part of larger racial reckoning in comedy which has also seen several white actors step down from voicing people of colour on animated series.
