Time for the last SXSW special with Jaboukie Young-White! Raised in Chicago, you may know him from being a correspondent on The Daily Show, performing on The Tonight Show twice or his writing on Netflix's American Vandal and Big Mouth!

In the world of film, Jaboukie voiced Disney’s first openly gay protagonist in Strange World, and appeared opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Mike Mills’ C'Mon, C'Mon.

Plus a load of other credits including Only Murders in the Building, Ralph Breaks the Internet, BoJack Horseman - he’s a big deal!

In this episode, we discuss Jaboukie's high stakes start in the world of comedy, coming out to his parents on The Tonight Show, inventing the term “Short King”, creating the best odds for yourself to succeed and what it’s like to work on The Daily Show.
