Shortly after that, Thede pitched the idea for “A Black Lady Sketch Show” to HBO. She said the network bought it “within minutes” after a dinner with her, Rae and executives. Thede said Black, Dennis and Brunson were “no-brainer” choices. They did not audition for the roles, she said because she already knew “what they brought to the table.”Dennis was a stand-up comedian early in her career before she starred in Netflix’s Marvel’s “Luke Cage” and as Whitney Houston in the BET miniseries “The Bobby Brown Story”.
Black is an actress-comedian who won an Emmy Award in 2017 for her writing on TBS’ “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee”. Brunson was a social-media sensation before she starred in her own Facebook Watch series, “Quinta vs. Everything”, and had recurring roles on ABC’s “Single Parents” and CW’s “iZombie”.
