Ego Nwodim (‘Saturday Night Live’), Kristen Wiig (‘Palm Royale’), Maya Rudolph (‘Loot’), Michelle Buteau (‘Survival of the Thickest’), Quinta Brunson (‘Abbott Elementary’) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (‘Girls5eva’) join THR in Off Script With The Hollywood Reporter.

The stars have a raucous and revealing conversation about ignoring industry expectations, the pressure to mine their personal lives and tap-dancing for the patriarchy in this updated roundtable format hosted by Yvonne Orji.

Over the course of five seasons, Orji earned three NAACP Image Award nominations. She hosted Amazon Prime Video’s year-in-review comedy special “Yearly Departed” in 2021 and HBO Max’s reality dating series “My Mom, Your Dad” in 2022. Other credits include episodes of “Jane the Virgin,” “A Black Lady Sketch Show” and ABC’s reboot of “The Wonder Years” as well as the films “Night School,” and “Spontaneous.”

In 2021, she starred in Vacation Friends opposite John Cena and Lil Rel Howery, and a sequel is currently in the works.
Orji’s first book, Bamboozled by Jesus: How God Tricked Me Into the Life of My Dreams, was released in May of 2021.
