San Francisco-based comic W. Kamau Bell is known for telling the very first joke about President Obama on Comedy Central, when he memorably predicted in 2005 that Obama was not going to win the election. Bell joins us in the studio for a conversation on humor, and race.
Bell has been named best San Francisco comedian by 7×7 Magazine, The San Francisco Bay Guardian and SF Weekly. His new comedy album “Face Full of Flour” made the iTunes list of best comedy albums of 2010 — and he’s performing at the Phoenix Theatre in San Francisco on New Year’s Eve.
