Taylor Mason chimes in how Thede was originally inspired to create “What Up, I’m Three” based on “an actual news story in the U.K. Director Dime Davis and actors Robin Thede and Issa Rae of HBO's 'A Black Lady Sketch Show' pose for a portrait during the 2019 Summer TCA Portrait. The Kaiser Soze reveal in ‘The Usual Suspects,’ too.” Issa Rae of 'A Black Lady Sketch Show' speaks during the HBO segment of the Summer 2019 Television Critics Association Press Tour 2019 at The Beverly. “Robin had been thinking of this sketch for a while, and referenced this film ‘Orphan’ about a young girl who gets adopted, but it turns out she’s not so young - she’s a maniacal adult who kills people. “After the table readings before the beginning of each season, we have Google Docs tone meetings, a living breathing document where reference points to movies, books or other media are discussed and what specifics that Robin needs,” says Filo. Stephanie made it sound like one band.”įrench piggybacks on that comment by adding that, in post, the editing worked to make Black and Townsend react to Thede’s single line. “It was situational, character-driven and Stephanie did an amazing job in editing, balancing the comedy while maximizing its musicality and tracking the characters’ improvisations. “I do think that this sketch is particularly like that of an ensemble, a band,” says Mason. The editing - executed by Filo - had to be both razor sharp, but loose with its improvisational flow. “That is not a baby, that is a voter,” goes one of its punchlines. Take the Season 3 episode, “What Up, I’m Three,” one where Thede plays a baby-but-not-a-baby with very adult habits - like smoking - that remain unnoticed to the mother. Editing rooms beyond ours don’t usually look like this.”įour editors sharing experiences like these is why the language of improvisational humor that is “A Black Lady Sketch Show” – with its weekly wealth of varying sets, locations, character throughlines and Easter eggs involved – is cut lovingly, with an ensemble’s musical flow and the precision of a team of surgeons. “Up until now, it’s been weird to be in an editing room with more than one Black editor. French, who worked with Filo in the editing room for Lifetime’s “Surviving R Kelly,” adds that, “It’s not weird for an entire room of editors to be all-white, particularly men,” he says.
