Ashley is Back
from Scriptnotes Podcast
John welcomes back writer/performer Ashley Nicole Black (A Black Lady Sketch Show, Ted Lasso, The Amber Ruffin Show) to prove good things come in twos. They dive into her two Emmy nominations, joining a show in its second season, and the opportunities of both writing and acting in a series. We follow up on the WGA East elections and ghosting producers. We also answer listener questions on problematic female character intros and writing sports scenes. In our bonus segment we take a look at TV’s white guy problem.
