I was an athlete, so I hung out with the jocks. I was smart, so I hung out with the nerdy kids. I was also into theater, so I hung out with the misfits... So I was always in different groups, and those groups never quite overlapped. The racial part of it was just another one of those groups, in one sense.

I don't have that kind of Southern experience of the fire-and-brimstone preacher type of thing. Certainly not in my comedy.
Larry Wilmore
It used to be that the black comic figure had to have this bravado and always showed strength.
Larry Wilmore
The fact that we live in a world where black people have to strategize so they're not brutalized by police is insane.

I didn't even know how much of a feminist I was, and I realized, 'Oh my God, I was raised by a single mom who had to raise six kids. I have three sisters. Larry, you've been a feminist your whole life, and you really didn't know it until you've been presented with these issues.'
Larry Wilmore
It was the Cosby issue that made me realize how much I really cared about women's issues and how much I realize it's important for me to be an advocate for issues that aren't necessarily my own, to be an ally for issues.

I'm not going to grouse and complain when there's nothing I can do about it. Once you've broken up with somebody, arguing with them is not going to bring them back. You may want to stop their Twitter account or call them up late at night, but they made the decision to leave.
Larry Wilmore
People aren't autonomous creatures. They're under a lot of pressure themselves.
Larry Wilmore
It's really not my thing to go after what comedians are doing. Because I always feel like we're jesters at the end of the day.
Larry Wilmore
I'd rather go after the people who are the guardians or what we're doing - the news people and the politicians and that sort of thing. I always feel like those should be my targets, not really entertainers. That's just my personal opinion.
Larry Wilmore
You are always, always overwhelmed by positive response because you know it can go either way.
Larry Wilmore
'Westworld' is bizarre. I don't know what to think of 'Westworld.'
Larry Wilmore
I think the biggest thing is voice. Whose voice is it? Who gets to control the narrative?
Larry Wilmore
We will see about Obama's legacy. I still think the historical nature of his candidacy will be the biggest part of his legacy.

My joke is that three black people watch 'The Daily Show' at any given time. So if I'm watching it, that counts, and there's only two left. It's a silly joke, but you know, different types of comedy reach different cultures.
Larry Wilmore
I get recognized by some people in my community, but not a lot. In fact, they would say, 'What do you do?' And I would say, 'Well, I did 'The Bernie Mac Show.'' And they would say, 'Oh, really? Well, do you know so-and-so?' And I'd say, 'Yeah, I hired them. I was the boss!' They don't believe it.
Larry Wilmore
I like 'The Nightly Show.' People ask me what it is, and I say, 'If you're watching 'The Daily Show,' and it feels like it's getting a little darker, you're probably watching 'The Nightly Show.''
Larry Wilmore
I really love having conversations and deconstructing things. I don't mind not having a laugh every second. Sometimes things deserve a little more discussion, and then you can have some fun after that.
Larry Wilmore
Maybe I'll write an episode of 'Black-ish' about a guy being fired in late-night.
Larry Wilmore
The last thing I would ever do is try to become a network programmer.
