Good One

We're back with another episode of Good One: Vulture Festival Version and this week we bring you the vibrant Issa Rae and Yvonne Orji!

Before the curtain falls on the final season of HBO’s Insecure, we’re going to get one more wine-down with Issa and Molly. Join stars Issa Rae and Yvonne Orji for a little pre-union, which is what we call a reunion for a show that hasn’t ended yet and that we want to prolong as much as possible.

This week on Good One, we're bringing you another offering from Vulture Fest 2021: The Great-est Panel You've Ever Seen!

That’s right, Vulture Fest brought together Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult for a great panel about The Great: Hulu's genre-bending, anti-historical ride through 18th-century Russia. Following the wildly comedic rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great, the stars got together ahead of the show's season two premiere. And yes, the last time we saw them, they were trying to kill each other onscreen. So it’ll be nice to see them getting along in person.

This week, host Jesse David Fox continues to do something different! Instead of a feature length, in-depth interview with a well known comedian, we're giving you a bunch of mini interviews, with every comedian that's on the rise and who frankly, should be on your radar. Based off a list Vulture releases every year, you'll hear 19 comedians pick a joke of theirs they really love, and explain the story behind it. Past list honorees include Amy Schumer, Broad City, John Mulaney, Hannibal Buress, and more. So yeah, this list is legit. Give it a listen; you might just end up discovering your new favorite comedian.

See this year's full list here.
