Bay Area comedian W. Kamau Bell is teaming up with KALW to create KAMAU RIGHT NOW!, a live talk-show broadcast and social media event. Kamau and his guests aim to transform the current political and cultural conversation into “a three-ring circus of relevance" as they try to figure out what is going on RIGHT NOW. There will be provocative conversation. There will be respectful debates. There will be much laughter (and probably a few hugs, too).

Bay Area comedian W. Kamau Bell is teaming up with KALW to create KAMAU RIGHT NOW!, a live talk-show broadcast and social media event. Kamau and his guests aim to transform the current political and cultural conversation into “a three-ring circus of relevance" as they try to figure out what is going on RIGHT NOW. There will be provocative conversation. There will be respectful debates. There will be much laughter (and probably a few hugs, too).
This time we're teaming up with City Arts & Lectures to fill the incredible Nourse Theater with all your laughing faces. Be a part of our live audience, and experience all the hilarity and awkwardness (plus post-show extras) in person, OR you can listen live at 7pm on KALW 91.7FM or kalw.org to catch the show! Organize a listening party with your friends, relax in that cozy armchair, or listen from your car - just please try and avoid any laughter-related accidents.
Use the hashtag #KamauNow for a chance to become part of the show, whether you're there or not - share a joke, fact check us, let us know what you're passionate about right now, go on, even heckle us from afar. We might read it live on air! We want to know what you want to hear.
Guests:
Alicia Garza, Black Lives Matter co-founder
Jessi Klein Fan, comedy writer and stand-up comic
Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money on WYNC
