Idea behind this show is that its a show where a black guy goes places either he shouldnt go or you wouldnt expect him to go. And were like oh, where should we go . I was like, i dont know, maybe i should go talk to the ku klux klan. That was their reaction. [ laughter ] that was exactly hmm. Then it got quiet for a long time.
