What does it take to create beautiful things in a system that wasn't built for you? A consummate musical improviser and rapper (Baby Wants Candy and Freestyle Love Supreme), sketch comic (The Iliza Scheslinger Sketch Show on Netflix, Late Night with Seth Myers), filmmaker (Page One), and, most recently, late night co-host (The Amber Ruffin Show on Peacock), Tarik Davis is figuring it out. From the halcyon days of 70s and 80s hour to the pop culture and animated TV of the 90s, Tarik turns sparks of inspiration into gifts of art to the universe.

Discover Tarik's secrets to keeping it all together, his pitch for a Universal Monsters cinematic universe, his favorite horror films, his work in surviving long COVID, and so, SO much more.
