TV News A Black Lady Sketch Show
HBO’s Emmy-winning sketch comedy show A Black Lady Sketch Show returns for its fourth season this April. But it hasn’t missed a beat if the latest teaser for Robin Theade’s costume-changing character showcase is to be believed. More to the point, Theade’s Dr. Haddassah is back, and she’s giving Coleman Domingo a tough time.
While we’re excited to see Theade back in character, there have been some cast shakeups this year. Like Quinta Brunson before her, Ashley Nicole Black tendered her resignation last October. Nevertheless, Gabrielle Dennis and Skye Townsend are still here, and the show added three new featured players to the mix: DaMya Gurley, Tamara Jade, and Angel Laketa Moore.
“We are forever indebted to our sister, Emmy-winner Ashley Nicole Black, whose contributions as a writer and performer on A Black Lady Sketch Show for three seasons have made an indelible mark on our series and in comedy history,” Thede said in a statement. “She will always be a part of our family and we are rooting for her as she continues on her path of greatness Angel, DaMya and Tamara are the absolute bellwether for the next generation of comedians! They sing, dance, act and make you laugh! They are going to surprise and delight viewers with their endless talents, and we can’t wait to introduce the world to them!”
We’ve remained fans of A Black Lady Sketch Show here at The A.V. Club. In their season three review, Jenna Scherer praised the show:
You can tell the four stars are having a blast digging into the sandbox to experiment; they share such an easy rapport, riffing off each other seemingly effortlessly whether the moment is scripted or improvised. And that spirit is contagious, making for a hell of a good time for those of us on the other side of the screen as well.
The six-episode fourth season premieres on April 14.

What we really need to see, see, see are the new opening credits.
When they start saying again, “Ladies and Gentlemen” at online work, then I will return, but not until then! Florida is a common sense conservative state where most jd-60 people have brains!…Open The Link———————➤ http://www.join.hiring9.com
I still miss the Muppets.
Ashley Nicole Black is an important loss. She was probably the most consistently funny performer and did a great job as the straight-woman in a lot of sketches. Still can’t wait for the next season though!
Yeah, I feel like she and Quinta had the biggest range, running from nerd to normal to obnoxious. I gotta take this opportunity to also say that Gabrielle Dennis is underrated though for her skill at physical comedy, she impresses me with that even when the writing falls flat!
I only knew of Gabrielle Dennis from Luke Cage’s shaky second season so I was very impressed with her comedic showcase in ABLSS.
I am making $162/hour telecommuting. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $21 thousand a month by working on the web, gx1 that was truly shocking for me, she prescribed me to attempt it simply ,COPY AND OPEN THIS SITE__________http://www.join.hiring9.com

I know it’s late in the night but it’s Thede, not Theade 😩
The writer has trouble with names? That would explain why the wrote about Dr. Haddassah, rather than Dr. Haddassah Olayinka Ali-Youngman, pre PhD.
