Alice and Deanna chat with the estimable W. Kamau Bell, stand-up comic, television host, podcaster, and now author of a new memoir. We talk about growing up awkward, the search for finding your identity when all you’re into is watching TV and sitting, and how your mom can change your life. Plus: delightful things, and why the word “thee” doesn’t belong in a pop song. Period.
