For her first show of the new year, Tuesday host Ali Muldrow gets the scoop on how to laugh even in the trash-fire that is already 2022 with comedian Lizz Winstead.

They talk about a range of topics including Lizz’s advocacy work in abortion, what makes good comedy, why “cancel culture” doesn’t exist, reckoning with Louis C. K. and Dave Chappelle, and the comedians getting Lizz through the pandemic, with shout-outs to Joyelle Nicole Johnson, Helen Hong, Jenny Yang, Maria Bamford, Sarah Silverman, and others.

Lizz Winstead is a comedian, co-creator of The Daily Show, and founder of Abortion Access Front. She hosts a new talk show called Feminist Buzzkills Live.
