My current favorite show Genius on NatGeo. This period piece is shot beautifully, and the cast is brilliant! I’m in love with the young Einstein.

The funniest person on TV Dave Chappelle. In his Netflix stand-up specials, his take on his life and humanity is totally on point.

The show I’d like to guest star on I would love to host Saturday Night Live. I was the special musical guest twice.

The show I miss most The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore. It was my late-night go-to every week. Where else am I going to hear another black Catholic talk about mass?

My guilty pleasure The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’ve watched it from Season 1. No matter how many wig pulls or shady side eyes given, I’m still a sucker for the drama.

My dream costar Idris Elba. ’Nuf said!

The first thing I watch when I wake up The local news, then CBS This Morning. Strong reporting, interesting guests and wonderful host chemistry.

The last thing I watch before I go to bed Fixer Upper. I simply adore Chip and Joanna Gaines. I never get bored watching their show.
