13342401, Went to school with Bashir
Posted by EAS, Wed Aug-07-19 11:56 PM
So happy to see his come up. He used to be a writer on Jimmy Fallon. Dude is hella smart. Last time I saw him, we were kids, I thought he was going to be a doctor or lawyer....cut to... he is doing skits on The Tonight Show. I think he has another show coming out too on another network...IFC, I think.

But yeah, like ATL, it feels homegrown and the writers know the city and its people well. The punchlines/jokes don't stop....it keeps hittin' you back to back.

It trips me out because at one point Bashir, Kanye, and I were all on the same bus as kids. Seeing them do there thing at different points makes me proud and the talent that continue to rise out the city is amazing. Despite some of the negative 'statistics', I am hella proud of this city and look forward to seeing more of my experiences/stomping grounds getting put out there for the world to view.
