From his humble beginnings as a young stand–up comic to his gig roasting President Barack Obama at the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Larry Wilmore has cemented his position as an important voice in comedy. The Peabody– and Emmy award–winning producer, actor, and writer for such shows as The Bernie Mac Show, ABC’s Blackish, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, and Issa Rae’s Insecure, Wilmore has been unwavering in his commitment to championing authenticity, civil rights, and inclusivity on and off screen. His new podcast Black on the Air on The Ringer Network is a welcomed voice of clarity, sanity, and humour.
Wilmore marks his first visit to TIFF by joining Jesse Wente for an insightful, engaging, and real conversation. How real? Make no mistake — Wilmore is the keeper of the 100s.
