“I believe in using humor as a tool to shed light on the truth,” comedian Ziwe Fumudoh introduces the trailer to her new Showtime variety show, Ziwe.

Written by Cole Escola, Jamund Washington, Jordan Mendoza, and Michelle Davis, with musical help from Together Together’s Patti Harrison, Ziwe combines interviews with sketches and musical numbers that “challenge America’s discomfort” with race, sexuality, and other things you wouldn’t bring up in a room full of old people.

Based on the Desus & Mero writer’s viral Instagram Live show, informally titled Baited, Ziwe retains the comedian’s piercing look and fierce looks.
