I was an athlete, so I hung out with the jocks. I was smart, so I hung out with the nerdy kids. I was also into theater, so I hung out with the misfits… So I was always in different groups, and those groups never quite overlapped. The racial part of it was just another one of those groups, in one sense. Larry Wilmore Read Quote

One of the missions of ‘The Nightly Show’ was to have a conversation with America in a sense, and talk about the things that people didn’t want to talk about it. Larry Wilmore Read Quote
The business part of it can be very vexing. You always have to keep certain metrics and everything. Because all I can do is make a good show. Larry Wilmore Read Quote
