Kyle Meredith With...

Lena Waithe & Rishi Rajani join Kyle Meredith to discuss the new Emmy-nominated documentary, Being Mary Tyler Moore, out now on Max. The producers talk about telling a dual story of Mary’s life as well as how her actions changed the conversation around women in America in the 60s and 70s, her private battles outside of celebrity, and being a reluctant hero of a movement at times in her life. Waithe, who has also written for and starred in Master of None, Ready Player One, and The Chi, recalls finding the show through Nickelodeon’s Nick At Nite and parallels Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ own career ascension to Moore’s, while Rajani gives us the update on the duo’s next documentary, which chronicles Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s lockdown-producing Verzuz series while also telling the story of turning to Black music for comfort in turbulent times.Listen to Lena Waithe & Rishi Rajani sit and chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on Youtube.
