Russell Simmons Discusses The Saturday Night Live Controversy!

Posted Oct 18, 2013

Here is an interview we conducted with Russell Simmons (Of HBO’s Def Comedy Jam) on the red carpet of All Def Digital’s brand new monthly comedy show in Los Angeles at Inside Jokes. All Def Digital is Russell’s new venture on YouTube that allows him to launch all types of sketches and stand up comedy, and unlike what he did on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, there is more room for creativity here.

On the carpet we got a chance to ask him what he thought of the Saturday Night Live controversy about black comedians, black women and the supposed lack of diversity in comedy and why there is no real diversity on SNL.

Check out what he had to say!
