Future Black History Month: Phoebe Robinson's Important Push for Diversity in Comedy

FUSE TV - Future Black History Month: Phoebe Robinson's Important Push for Diversity in Comedy

Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. With her writing, podcasts and comedy, Phoebe Robinson is the definition of someone creating Future Black History, but let's take just a moment to throw it back to her early days when she was a writer on former Fuse show White Guy Talk Show. Watch above to note that, clearly, our girl has always had a strong sense of who she is and pushing her unique brand of comedy to the forefront.

In her work, the 2 Dope Queens host has been adamant that black women—along with all LGBTQ and all people of color—be represented in the comedy and one of her earliest breaks was as a writer on White Guy Talk Show that stood for being the only late-night talk show to be hosted by a non-white man and woman. Phoebe has kept that mindset in her work, speaking up for diverse representation and typically doing so with her partner in crime and 2016 Future Black History honoree Jessica Williams.
