Born in the US to Nigerian parents, Ziwe Fumudoh blasted onto the scene with her YouTube show Baited with Ziwe, cut her teeth on shows like The Rundown with Robin Thede, and picked up a Writer's Guild of America award for Desus & Mero in 2021. Now she has her own late-night talk show and variety show, Ziwe, a no-holds-barred mix of musical numbers, interviews and sketches that challenge our discomfort with race, politics, and other cultural issues.
Ziwe's first season features the likes of activist Gloria Steinem, The Real Housewives of New York City star Eboni K. Williams, actress Cristin Milioti (Palm Springs, The Wolf of Wall Street), and author Fran Lebowitz (Pretend It's a City).
Vulture hails Ziwe as "iconic" and Vanity Fair says, "Ziwe perfected the art of putting people on the spot," while Salon.com calls her show "both a true star-making platform and a spoof of the same."
