Comedian and writer Dewayne Perkins (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Break with Michelle Wolf) joins Nicole to talk about getting back together with his ex, the importance of checking in with your partner, and how America has failed everyone. They also get into what it's like to be 'the diversity hire', the systemic racism present in writers' rooms, and how to turn the thought of death into something positive.
