S51 E17: Colman Domingo


In this episode, we unanimously declare Colman Domingo’s April 11, 2026 hosting debut the best episode of the season. Praised for his warm charisma, versatility, and what fans called “uncle energy,” Domingo appeared in every sketch — each one distinct, absurdist, and culturally grounded. We discuss closely Fashion District Robbery, a sharp, unapologetically queer sketch about fashion-world subculture and Prep School, an absurdist riff on inspirational teacher films that opens a philosophical discussion on the nature of knowledge. Luvell shares an essential essay on epistemology and making knowledge and Chuck assigns two of Charisse’s favorite films.
