Isaiah Lester (Black-ish)

This week on Blamo! Jeremy talks with Isaiah Lester, writer for ABC’s Black-ish. 

Isaiah explains his journey from dropping out of college in Alabama to film school in Vancouver all the way to writing late-night sketches and being a writer for Black-ish. Isaiah gets into how he relates to Jennifer Garner in Alias, what he learned from Octo-mom, and his love for a good jean short. Jeremy and Isaiah discuss the awkwardness of wearing sports jerseys of players younger than themselves, always wanting to be journal dudes but never quite getting there, and they go deep on sneaker entitlement and the sense of apology for being able to afford things now that they couldn't growing up.
