In theory, having 2 Chainz on The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore is a great idea. After all, Chainz killed it on Nancy Grace, and he regularly cracks us up on his GQ video series Most Expensivest S**t.
Surprisingly, having a panel of Rosie Perez, Kenneth Cole, and 2 Chainz wasn’t the most hilarious segment. That distinction probably belonged to the opening monologue or the remote segments with Mike Yard and Ricky Velez.
Nevertheless, you’ll still get some laughs from the top quotes from 2 Chainz’s Nightly Show appearance.

Time And Place
“For most Americans, there’s a time and place to talk about race. The place is nowhere, and that time is never.”
2 Chainz Talking Race
Larry Wilmore: “2 Chainz you were a drug dealer. Did you ever talk about race to your customers?”
2 Chainz: “I’d just tell them to race their a** over here and get it before it’s gone.”
The Reparations Tab
Barista: “Your total is $5.45.”
Me: “You can just put that on my reparations tab. Thanks.”
Race Together Y’all
“By the way, Bobby Joe, did you know there’s about a five percent chance you may have some Negro blood in you?”
Wade In The Water
In an attempt to show the awkwardness of mixing coffee and forced racial dialogue, Nightly Show correspondent asked a white woman to sing a Negro Spiritual with him in Starbucks. She obliged.
3 Chainz!
If you can convince 2 Chainz to join your show’s panel for an episode, you might as well.
