This week, Issa and Prentice go inside the Black TV canon that shaped their personal lives – and the first season of Insecure. The two talk about childhood crushes on Kim Fields and Kadeem Hardison, paying homage to Black writing trees, Moesha’s influence on the Insecure writers’ room, the Flavor of Flav episode that birthed Issa’s villain origin story, and developing memorable main character energy. From The Jeffersons to Martin to the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Issa and Prentice celebrate the shows that paved the way for Insecure and a new generation of Black television.
