Oh,�hi!
Didn't�see�you�there.
It's�that�time�of�year: Juneteenth�in�December.
Juneteenth�commemorates�the�time when�salaried�Americans�came
together�for�the�birth�of a�new�commercial�holiday!
Freedom
[man�VO]�Sponsored�by�Geico.
So�I'm�starting�a�new�line�of 100�percent�cotton�Juneteenth
-t-shirts! -[ding]
They�don't�focus�on�the bad�stuff�like�the�legacy�of
slavery,�they�focus�on�the good�stuff�like�the�concept�of
freedom!
-And�that's�a�shirt! - � [children]�Yeah!
Freedom�is�marketable!
Oh,�Ziwe!
Ziwe!
Oh,�Tony Award-winner�Laura�Benanti!
You're�not�understanding�the true�meaning�of�Juneteenth.
It's�not�just�about selling�t-shirts,
it's�about�something deeper�and�more�meaningful.
It's�about�totes!
upbeat�music
triumphant�kazoos
Wait,�Tony Award-winner�Laura�Benanti!
This�feels�all�wrong.
It�can't�just�be about�t-shirts�and�totes!
And�frankly,�it's�a little�offensive...
Ooh.
That�the�product line�is�so�small!
-[blast] -[both�giggling]
-Coozies! -Napkins!
[Ziwe�VO] Tablecloths,�t-shirts,
water�bottles,�hats!
Available�at�all the�big�box�stores.
I�don't�care�if�you're Christian,�Jewish,�Muslim,
or�Kwanzaa;
if�you�like Christmas�in�July,
then�you're�gonna�love Juneteenth�in�December.
Tonight,�I'm talking�to�Wayne�Brady!
Wayne,�would�you�say�Juneteenth is�about�lifting�up�the�youth?
No.
[Ziwe�VO]�And�later,�I'm sending�my�correspondent�Larry
Owens�to�lead�a�group�of�icons in�some�Juneteenth�caroling.
Juneteenth�is�here!
[in�unison]�Ziwe�starts�now!
cool�theme�music
[Ziwe�VO]�An�improvisor,�actor, and�musician�with�a�30+�year
career�in�show�business...
[in�unison]�Ooh,�ooh!
Check�it�out,�Drew!
[Ziwe�VO]�He's�a national�treasure.
Is�Wayne�Brady�gonna have�to�choke�a�bitch?
Please�welcome�Wayne�Brady!
Hey!
Oh,�you�clap�for�me?
That�makes�me�happy.
Thank�you�for coming�on�the�show!
Thank�you!
I�am�honored�that�you�are here�for�our�special�Juneteenth
episode.
I'm�happy�to�be here�for�Juneteenth.
What�did�you�get�your friends�for�Juneteenth?
Me.
They-�they�were�able�to celebrate�me�on�that�day.
Now,�specifically,�I'm talking�to�my�non-Black�friends.
[Ziwe]�Got�it,�got�it,�got�it.
And�so�you�show�up�and you're�like,�"Here�I�am!"
-Ding,�ding! -[doorbell]

You�do�a�little�spin...
I�do�a�little�spin,�I get�a�couple�of�gift�cards.
"Oh,�Best�Buy!
Thank�you�so�much!"
And�then�I�go�from�house�to house�collecting�my�Juneteenth
reparations.
Freedom
Now,�what�race�is typically�the�most�greedy?
-What�race�is�the�most�greedy? -Yeah!
Well,�you�know, if�you-�[sighs]
Um,�who�has�colonized�most�of the�Western�world�and�the�lands
beyond,�and�taken lands�and�said,
"This�happens�to�be�mine," regardless�of�whom�happens�to�be
there,�issues�no�apologies.
So�I'm�not�saying�which�race, I'm�just�saying�if�there's�a
race�that�fits that,�that�may�be�it.
On�a�scale�of Halloween�to�Valentine's�Day,
how�important�is Juneteenth�to�you?
Culturally,�Juneteenth is�the�most�important.
Mm.
But�what�really�affects my�life�is�Valentine's�Day.
Wow!
I�think�that�Valentine's�Day is-�because�I'm�trying�to�be
-happy. -Yeah.
So�Valentine's�Day�is�my�yearly reset�of�"Will�this�be�the�year
that�I�find�The�One?"
-[Ziwe]�Wow! -Yeah.
[Ziwe]�And�are�you still�looking�for�The�One?
I'm�still�looking�for�The�One!

Pivoting!
What�does Juneteenth�mean�to�you?
And�don't�say�anything�horny!
You're�the�one�that asked�the�horny�questions.

So,�you�didn't�like�that Paul�Mooney�joke�that�said�white
people�love�you�because�you�make Bryant�Gumbel�look�like�Malcom
-X. -Yes.
How�does�it�make�you�feel�to be�a�beloved�Black�man�in�white
America?
It's�great!
Because�the�flip�side�of�that is-�is�why�can't�you�be�beloved
in�white�America, in�Black�America,
in�Latin�America?
I�don't�change�who�Wayne�is�to make�"white�America"�like�me.
[Ziwe]�Mm.
Congratulations,�that�was�funky!
Right�on,�right�on!
If�you�have�a�thing�in�you that�you�need�to�get�out,
why�wouldn't�you�want�as�many people�as�possible�to�love�that
thing?
So�that's�why�I�took�offense, took�umbrage�with�Paul's�thing,
because�the�way he�made�it�sound,
I�would�be�the�kind�of�person that�would�change�who�I�am�to
make�white�people�love�me.
So�why�do�you�think people�named�Jarett�and�Tinsley
gravitate�towards�you?
[laughs]
Um...
because�they�lack father�figures.
Okay!
Okay,�whoa.
I�don't�even know�what�it�means.
-Let's�unpack�that! -Yeah.
I�think�Jared,�um,�Dales,�Kyles, I�think�they're�all�looking�for
the�Black�father figure�in�their�life.
-Yup. -Wow!
I'm�not�backing�down.
You're�gonna stick�with�that�one?
Tinsley,�Kyle,�Jared,�Jake...

Black�Daddy�loves�you.
So�you�won�The�Masked Singer�as�the�fox�in�2019.

What�do�you�think�mainstream America�feels�more�comfortable
with:�a�Black�man�in�a�fedora�or a�Black�man�in�animal�cosplay?
Uh,�definitely�a�Black man�in�animal�cosplay.
It's�like-�when�I�was�a�kid,�I was�a�character�at�Walt�Disney
-World. -Really?
I�played�Tigger�and�Goofy,�and rednecks�would�take�their�kids
and�shove�'em�in�my�arms.
-"Tigger!" -Oh�my�God.
[Wayne]�"Go�ahead!"
When�you�say�"Tigger," you�say�it�with�the�hard�R.
Yeah,�"Tigger."
"Tigger."
Because�if�they�knew that�Tigger�was�a�Tigger...
-Oh�my�God! -[Wayne]�Yeah.�[chuckles]
Now�Wayne,�you�sing,�you dance,�and�you�do�comedy.
Are�you�doing�too�much,�or�is everyone�else�not�doing�enough?
Everyone�else�is not�doing�enough.
Mediocrity�is�not�the�goal.
That's�not�the household�that�I�was�raised�in.
Your�parents�are�from�the�West Indies,�you've�mentioned.
Yes.
What's�wild�is�that�you�talked about�how�you�were�bullied�for
your�accent.
But�in�my�head,�you speak�like�the�Queen.
What�is�your�original, like,�OG�Florida�accent?
Well,�because�I�was raised�in�that�household,
[West�Indian�accent]�and everybody�had�this�accent,
and�talking�about "Mother,�I�don't�understand,
-I�don't�know!" -Oh,�wow!
[normal�voice] Which,�in�my�neighborhood,
there�was�a�whole�thing that�we�could�go�back�to,
like,�the�'80s�when�there�was�an influx�of�Jamaicans�to�Florida,
and�then�the�people that�were�there�were�like,
"You're�on�my�turf."
So�when�I�would�go�to school�and�I'd�say�something,
the�other�kids�were�like,�"Ahh, little�bitch�sound�Jamaican!"
Wow.
And�I'd�say, "I'm�not�Jamaican!"
-They'd�say,�"You�not�Jamaican!" -Oh�my�God!
And�then�we'd�get�into fights�and�the�whole�thing.
And�now,�I'm�on�TV. Fuck�'em.
-[Ziwe]�Wow! -[Wayne]�[laughs]
We�unpacked�a lot�in�10�seconds!
Thank�you!
That's�an�amazing therapy�session!
Thank�you,�Doctor!
Would�you�like�to�apologize�to Chet�Hanks�for�appropriating�his
accent?
Uh,�Chet,�on�behalf of�the�people:
[patois]�Me�wan�tank�you,�Chet.
Me�wan�tank�you.
On�your�children's album � Radio�Wayne,
you�have�a�song called�"Hip�Hop�Stop."
Hip�hop Now�show�me�your�hands
Hip�hop�stop
Why�would�you�like hip-hop�to�stop?
[laughs]
-I�never�want�hip-hop�to�stop. -Mm.
I've�been�a�hip-hop�fan�since I�was�maybe�eight�years�old.
Okay,�so�hip-hop�don't�stop.
Do�you�still listen�to�rap�music?
Absolutely!
Who's�your�favorite modern,�like,�rapper?
[sighs]�I�was�afraid�you were�gonna�ask�me�that.
Of�all�the�questions...
Because�this�is�where�I sound�like-�like�an�angry...
-"oldhead"... -Yes.
-As�the�kids�say. -Yes,�Black�Daddy.
Because�Black�Daddy�doesn't like�a�lot�of�current�hip-hop.
What�does�Black�Daddy�like?
Black�Daddy�likes�hip-hop�that I�could�dance�to�but�that�is
actually�saying�something.
We�deal�in�words;�I�love�words.
Yes,�you�love�words.
-[Wayne]�I�love�words. -Yeah.
So,�I�don't�like...
-I�don't�like�that. -Wow.
-I�don't�like�that�at�all. -Wow.

Marry,�[bleep],�kill: Black,�African-American,
or�the�N�word?
Marry�Black...
[bleep]�African-American...
I�guess?
And�kill�the�N�word.
Wow.
Why�would�you�kill�the�N�word?!
Because�I�love�the�fact�-�and my�daughter�and�I�talk�about�how
beautifully�it�actually�sings.
Like,�it's�a�very�musical�word, but�all�it�takes...

[Ziwe]�Wow!

the�people�of�Bed�Stuy.
Let's�get�names,�okay.
Hi,�I'm�Madison.
[Larry]�Madison!
Um,�why�you?
So�I�am�a�photographer,�and�I was�at�home�quarantining�when
something�was�just�telling�me that�I�needed�to�be�out�in�the
streets�photographing�the protests�in�New�York�City.
Madilon!
You�took�to�the�streets!
[Madison]�Yeah,�I took�to�the�streets.
-Madison,�by�the�way. -Thank�you,�Madilon!
Okay,�where�are�you�from?
Well,�I�grew�up�in�Texas.
Texas.
-Juneteenth. -Yeah,�yeah.
Is�there�any�connection�there?
We�were�never�taught�that.
We�took�a�class in�Texas�history,
and�they�made�no�mention.
You�know�what�that�sounds�like?
[laughter]
Dylan!
Where's�the�drummer?
That�was�a�"badum-bum." [laughs]
You�know�what�that�sounds�like?
It�sounds�like�erasure.
Mm.
[Larry]�So�today,�we are�becoming�a�choir�-
individual�voices, together�as�one.
-Johanna? -[Johanna]�Yes.
Is�this...
Are�you�taking�it�seriously?
[Johanna]�Yeah!
[Larry]�I�don't know,�you're�smiling...
It's�the�gaiety�behind�the�eyes.
The�gaiety?!
[Larry]�Yeah,�behind�the�eyes.
I'm-�I'm�seeing,�like, twinkle�and�sparkle�and�not-
Oh,�I'm�just-�we're�just all�happy�to�be�together.
[Larry]�Okay.
Bring�in�the�stoles!
"Joy�to�the�World"
It's�time�to�sing!
Reach�under�your�seats; you'll�find�your�hymnals.
[Soledad]�Oh.
We'll�start�with the�first�carol.
-You�wanna�try�it? -You�know�I�wanna�try.
Gimme�some�"Oohs."
-No. -[Nina]�'Cause�we�get�a�day�off.
-No�no�no. -[Nina]�No?
Okay.
-See,�you�turned�up. -[Nina]�I�know,�I'm�sorry.
You�turned�up�so�much that�you�forgot�the�melody.
[Nina]�I�know�but-
You.
I'm�hearing�lots�of�different notes�where�I�need�to�be�hearing
one�pitch�at�a�time.
Dylan,�we�got�beef?
I�just,�you�know...
Some-�some�of�these�songs seem�a�little�pejorative.
What's�been�negative?
Uh,�"Black�Girl Magic,�we�all�enjoy."
Kind�of�off-putting.
You�don't�enjoy Black�Girl�Magic?
Um...
I�don't�know�how�to�speak directly�to�that�but...
I-�I�guess�maybe�the�intent�of the�lyric�was�a�little�unclear.
I'm�happy�to�unpack�the�lyric.
This�is�a�part�of song�interpretation.
Okay,�well-
If�you�don't�know�what you're�singing�about...
don't�sing!
So�this�is�great.
I'd�like�you�to�take�it from�"Oh,�freedom�bells."
One,�two,�three.
-It's�hot. -Oh,�yeah.
That's�an�ally.
I�feel�like�we�should�be�saying that�with�more�conviction�and,
-like... -[whispering]�I�know!
-You�know,�like,�"We�are�sorry." -[whispering]�I�know!
'Cause�I'm�sorry!
That�was�my�crazy white�side,�you�know?
[Larry]�Oh...
But,�listen,�I�love�all people,�and�we�are�sorry,
and�you�know�what?
Even�better�than�that,�I'm�sorry for�anybody�that's�ever�had�to
suffer; how�'bout�that?
Mm.
Um,�one�more�time.
