Exclusive Clip Of W. Kamau Bell On ‘Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan’
BlackFilmandTV.com has been provided with an exclusive clip from the PBS series "Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan," where W. Kamau Bell talks about an incident where he personally experienced racism in a Bay-area cafe.
In the next episode of Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan, comedian and political satirist, W. Kamau Bell sits down to discuss his path to stand-up, and reflects on what he’s learned from having tough conversations about race and identity as the host of CNN's Emmy-winning “United Shades of America”.
This season of Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan features warm, one-on-one conversations with a wide range of notable guests including comedian and political satirist W. Kamau Bell, singer-songwriter David Bryne, civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, business professor and social commentator Scott Galloway, labor activist Ai-jen Poo, philanthropist and global advocate Melinda Gates, and broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff, among others. Hosted by four-time New York Times bestselling author Kelly Corrigan, the show delves deep into the lives of each thought leader, highlighting the issues that matter most to them, and the impact they’ve had on the world.
A critical feature of the program is the “Plus One” segment. Corrigan invites her guests to include a “Plus One” — an individual they personally or professionally know, admire and respect, and who've influenced their lives. Big wave surfer Bianca Valenti spotlighted Mira Manikam, a long-time environmental activist who is the co-founder of Brown Girl Surf, an organization working to build a more diverse, environmentally reverent, and joyful women’s surf culture. Dr. Atul Gawande invited hospice nurse Sarah Creed, recalling how she shaped his perspective on the power of palliative care. Basketball coach Steve Kerr highlighted Pastor Michael McBride, a national faith leader, heavily involved in eradicating gun violence in his local Oakland community and beyond. Through these additional interviews, Corrigan underscores the deep, undeniable connection we share with one another, and the teamwork, not always visible, behind every achievement.
