The comedy podcast 2 Dope Queens, featuring Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson, was produced for HBO in February this year as a series of four themed hour-long specials.
Guests include Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City) and Jon Stewart (The Daily Show).
Taped before a live audience at Brooklyn's Kings Theatre, the show features these fun, fearless queens dishing on Cocoa Khaleesis, dating white baes, sex, New York living, which borough has the best pizza and so much more, as well as showcasing some of the ladies' favourite stand-up comedians.

Show #3: Hot Peen
