Don sits down with actor, writer, comedian, and host of Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air, the one and only Larry Wilmore, to unpack the drama surrounding Amber Ruffin's sudden cancellation from the White House Correspondents' Dinner. What does this say about who gets a platform in political comedy? Why are certain voices still considered too “risky” for the establishment? And how do comedians navigate the fine line between truth-telling and staying invited to the table? Smart, sharp, and unfiltered—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
