N'kay takes audiences on a progressive journey through America's culture and politics through a series of hysterical comedic characters, skits, and jokes centered around the theme of AMERICUH in honor of the month of July. This episode of N'Kay answers the much-asked questions in American culture, like: "Are you willing to give your first born for a new truck?" or "Does Donald Trump constantly poop his pants?" (The rumor is a resounding YES) and of course, "What if Simon and Garfunkle were Millenials?"
In this episode, there will be no mention of the inventor of Gay Pop, JoJo Siwa - sorry.
***
Prepare for an ADHD-fueled comedic event like no other. N'kay sets out to parody anything that could be playing from your AirPods: from joke news to song parodies. This hilarious, late-night-inspired comedy show is a mix between SNL and The Daily Show—if The Daily Show was hosted by the impression of Vice President Kamala Harris by Just For Laughs and CBS Showcase alumni Allison Reese. Get ready to laugh your socks off!
Backed by a diverse team of writers/comedians who possess credits from Ru Paul's Drag Race, The Amber Ruffin Show, The Tonight Show, South Side, Billy Eichner's BROS, The Second City, UCBLA, and more
