Chaunté Wayans is very, very funny. But she’s also deeply aware of the pressure of her family name and the expectations that come with that. In fact, it’s what led to one of her funniest bits—a joke about delivering food while also appearing on TV. (Google “Chaunté Wayans and Postmates” to see what we mean.)
That reflective approach to comedy and to her own life serves Chaunté well, and has made her both a better comic and a more thoughtful person. In this week's conversation both aspects are on display as she speaks candidly about: meeting her father for the first time, the power and drawbacks of her family name, giving advice to other young comics, and more.
The episode is a funny and super insightful look at a rising star in the comedy scene.
