About this episode
Larry Wilmore has long been considered one of the quickest and most respected minds in comedy and television -- and a longtime friend of Phil's. Over sandwiches, Larry and Phil discuss lots of common ground as showrunners, Larry's experiences working with Eddie Murphy and Bernie Mac, and David reveals how Larry helped inspire him at a key moment early in his career writing for TV. Larry also does some Fab imitations of The Beatles, Muhammad Ali and Groucho Marx, and explains how co-starring with Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening in "Jerry & Marge Go Large" on Paramount + helped him find something positive to focus on in the wake the 2021 death of his brother Marc Wilmore.
