Manage episode 444364582 series 1395320
Robin Duke is a comedy powerhouse whose talent spans all mediums. After getting her start on SCTV and transitioning to SNL as the first female cast member hired as a writer, Robin tells Naomi about her mission to write sketches that painted women in different lights and showed their strengths. She talks about how much she loved writing for other people, showing that comedy by women isn’t all about boobs, and the pressure she felt to perform. Though her tenacity landed her the job, she also talks about the downfall after being replaced on the show and how that affected her confidence. She tells Naomi that her passion was reignited after teaching a course where a speaker claimed comedy was only for young people and not for women, and how she was determined to prove them wrong, creating comedy troupe Women Fully Clothed. Though open about her journey, Robin explains her decision to keep her cancer diagnosis private until she was ready to explore it in her writing, finding humor in the experience. Throughout her illustrious career, she vows to keep learning, growing, and working on projects that inspire her and keep her laughing.
