Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Jim Reynolds, a white writer, but Cedric the Entertainer became executive producer specifically to ensure authentic Black perspective in the writers' room.
The show's entire premise was reverse-engineered from a CBS mandate for more 'diverse' programming after #OscarsSoWhite—Greenfield was cast first, then they found Cedric to anchor the other side.
