We talk to three members of Astronomy Club (Jonathan Braylock, Jerah Milligan and James III), the stars of the great Netflix sketch comedy show, about their show and being African-American in the sketch and improve world.
came from sketch, I knew Tina Fey came from sketch. And then kinda once I got to New York City… I was already out of college by the time I even, to be honest. It was a legendary black dude who went to NYU, who worked at UCB, then got a writing job while he was still an RA—that sounded insane.
I had saw Ray [Cordova] a couple of times, and I met Shawtane at a practice group once, and we were cool because he said the same hood stuff that I talked about. But I feel like—it is even hard for me now, honestly, to refer people to UCB. And I know it’s much, much better, and they have done things for Astronomy Club, but… For the most part, it is very excluding to feel like a unicorn in a place.
And when they passed is when we went out to other networks—Netflix was one of them. And a very serendipitous moment happened where I had met a friend of mine who now works for Kenya Barris. We had gone to college together and through that meeting, we kind of set up a meeting with Kenya Barris before he pitched toI think from pickup to the series release was nine months. It was the quickest kind of turnaround, completely opposite to the Comedy Central experience of it. It was very exciting.
I love “Robin Hood.” Jerah’s doing the “I killed Chucky” press conference is so funny, the Katt Williams sketch is so great. There’s so many good ones. I think that’s also what makes our show great is that we have such a variety of humor because we’re eight people. So there’s definitely something for everybody, and I kind of love that in a sketch show. So I’m so happy we got to do that.
