"You know, that that is largely the writers' work and the writers' job to to pound out those storylines that are deeply motivated by character and feel true to the world that we've built and lived in for four years and making sure that whatever we talk about, whatever issues might be depicted in our show, are ultimately rooted in the truth of these characters that we love and their relationships to one another. I think that that's what's allowed us to discuss as much as we have, because it isn't independent from the lives of these people and how it impacts them."

"You know, we've established that this store exists in the world that everyone is really living in and so it would almost feel disingenuous not to address the things that are happening in the world, the things that are affecting everybody in this country and around the world. So, it's a really cool thing. I think it's always cool when you're getting to do comedy that also says something and that also has an opinion or a comment about what's happening in the world but also not in a way that feels heavy handed or like, 'Oh boy. Here we go, a very special episode.' I think that we've done a really good job and that's a credit to the writers and showrunners kind of slipping it in there in a way that feels organic and natural and realistic."
(Reporter: "Yeah I mean, last season ended with Nico Santos' character being detained by ICE. What was that read through like?)
"Oh, America and I burst into tears at the end of that script. We were just like, 'Oh my gosh! Are we really doing this? This feels impossible.' But it was one of those things where, you know, I think that that's such a huge issue that's going on in this country right now, and it doesn't necessarily touch everybody personally. I think there's a disconnect for a lot of people. And if watching a television show where a character that you've come to love over the course of four seasons has gone through something like that and that maybe made you kind of think about that as an issue and how it affects people and that these are real people's lives that are being torn apart. I think that that's a really cool thing and I think it's important and nice that we got to address it."

"I think that people tune into our show because we do deal with these real issues and they are very real characters that are living out lives that a lot of people in this country are. This whole immigration thing, it's like, we all know, you know, undocumented people. So, even that storyline is something that's very relatable, I imagin, to a lot of people. So, yeah, we just don't shy away from from what's really going on I think."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Colton Dunn, actor:
"I don't know how much of a line there is in comedy, but there is a line for your audience. And you know, if your audience rejects the kind of comedy that you think that you're doing, you've got to listen to that. This is America. You say whatever you want. Comedians can say whatever they want to do and make whatever kind of jokes they think are jokes. But if they get a reaction that's real and honest from the audience and it's rejected, you've got to deal with that and you've got to step back and figure out what it is you're doing. And if you want to keep doing comedy, you've got to try to create better comedy for your audience."

Pally: "No. Thank God. I think whatever you have to say is much better."
Hodges: "I think there's a difference between pushing boundaries and vaguely racist, hateful banter. And I think most people can tell the difference and that was kind of clear with how this all shook out."
Elliott: "Yeah. Blatant racism is not comedy."

"I think at the end of the day it's about respect. You know, I'm so glad we matured to the point where we're like, 'That's not okay.' You know, and a show like this, showcases different races, different ethnicities, and not only us, but also the writers and the creators behind the show are very diverse. You know, immigrants or children of immigrants. So, I'm glad that we have a show that's authentic and that respects each other. Our backgrounds, but at the same time, our authenticity."

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Joel Kim Booster, actor:
"I mean, I'm a political entity, Just my my face appearing on TV is a political act for a certain segment of this country you know. And so, I can't get too bogged down in it. Like, I come to work and I think about the jokes more than anything else, because, you know, I've learned after a decade of doing standup comedy that there will be times when I step on stage and people will automatically project political ideas onto me and I can't control that. And so, the balance for me is trusting the writers to know the direction that they're pointing us in. Our writers room is staffed of almost, I think, completely first-generation immigrants or people who are the children of first-generation immigrants. And so, like, that was really comforting for me. You know, going into this show I didn't want to be sort of like the diverse face of a roomful of white guys writing stories that they had no idea what they were talking about. And so, I feel very trusting of sort of the direction that we're going."

STORYLINE
THE STARS OF NBC'S PRIMETIME COMEDY LINEUP DISCUSS THE DOS AND DON'TS OF GETTING POLITICAL IN COMEDY AND 'SNL' SHANE GILLIS CASTING
With NBC's primetime comedy lineup set to premiere at the end of the month, new and old shows are becoming more politically motivated in their plots.
"Superstore" and "Ugly Betty" star America Ferrera said that the shows need to stay authentic to the characters they are portraying, even in the midst of humor.
"Well that that is largely the writers' work and the writers' job to to pound out those storylines that are deeply motivated by character and feel true to the world that we've built and lived in for four years and making sure that whatever we talk about, whatever issues might be depicted in our show, are ultimately rooted in the truth of these characters that we love and their relationships to one another. I think that that's what's allowed us to discuss as much as we have because it isn't independent from the lives of these people and how it impacts them," she said.
Her co-star, Lauren Ash, said she thinks having political commentary in comedy can be a good thing.
"We've established that this store exists in the world that everyone is really living in, and so it would almost feel disingenuous not to address the things that are happening in the world, the things that are affecting everybody in this country and around the world. So, it's a really cool thing. I think it's always cool when you're getting to do comedy that also says something and that also has an opinion or a comment about what's happening in the world but also not in a way that feels heavy handed or like, 'Oh boy. Here we go, a very special episode.' I think that we've done a really good job and that's a credit to the writers and showrunners kind of slipping it in there in a way that feels organic and natural and realistic," she said.
The season four finale of "Superstore" left viewers with a cliffhanger, when one of the main characters was detained by ICE. Ash said her and her co-stars were emotional about the storyline.
"Oh, America and I burst into tears at the end of that script. We were just like, 'Oh my gosh! Are we really doing this? This feels impossible.' But it was one of those things where, you know, I think that that's such a huge issue that's going on in this country right now, and it doesn't necessarily touch everybody personally. I think there's a disconnect for a lot of people. And if watching a television show where a character that you've come to love over the course of four seasons has gone through something like that and that maybe made you kind of think about that as an issue and how it affects people and that these are real people's lives that are being torn apart. I think that that's a really cool thing and I think it's important and nice that we got to address it," Ash said.
But the show's ability to stay on top of the conversations happening around the country is why fans keep coming back, said "Superstore" actress Nichole Bloom.
"I think that people tune into our show because we do deal with these real issues and they're very real characters that are living out lives that a lot of people in this country are. This whole immigration thing, it's like, we all know, you know, undocumented people. So, even that storyline is something that's very relatable I imagine to a lot of people. So, yeah, we just don't shy away from from what's really going on I think," she said.
The world of NBC comedy made headlines this week when "Saturday Night Live" came under fire for hiring comedian Shane Gillis after a clip surfaced of him making derogatory remarks about Asian people. "SNL" announced Thursday that Gillis would not be joining the cast.
Many of NBC's other comedians took the move as a positive one.
"Superstore" actor Colton Dunn said it comes down to knowing your audience.
"I don't know how much of a line there is in comedy, but there is a line for your audience. And you know, if your audience rejects the kind of comedy that you think that you're doing, you've got to listen to that. This is America. You say whatever you want. Comedians can say whatever they want to and make whatever kind of jokes they think are jokes. But if they get a reaction that's real and honest from the audience and it's rejected, you've got to deal with that and you've got to step back and figure out what it is you're doing. And if you want to keep doing comedy, you've got to try to create better comedy for your audience," he said.
The young stars of NBC's new show, "Indebted," agreed they felt that Gillis's remarks were wrong.
"I think you just know what's right and wrong. And usually if it's funny, it's right because there's a joke to it," said Adam Pally.
His co-star Jessy Hodges added: "I think there's a difference between pushing boundaries and vaguely racist, hateful banter. And I think most people can tell the difference and that was kind of clear with how this all shook out."
It's about respect, said actor Samba Schutte, who stars in another of NBC's new comedies, "Sunnyside."
"I think at the end of the day it's about respect. You know, I'm so glad we matured to the point where we're like, 'That's not okay.' You know, and a show like this, showcases different races, different ethnicities, and not only us, but also the writers and the creators behind the show are very diverse. You know, immigrants or children of immigrants. So, I'm glad that we have a show that's authentic and that respects each other. Our backgrounds, but at the same time, our authenticity," he said.
"Sunnyside" follows a group of young immigrants on their path to becoming citizens.
Schutte's co-star, Joel Kim Booster, said that he respects NBC's pursuit of more diverse comedies and balancing political commentary is something he trusts the writers for.
"I mean, I'm a political entity, Just my my face appearing on TV is a political act for a certain segment of this country you know. And so, I can't get too bogged down in it. Like, I come to work and I think about the jokes more than anything else, because, you know, I've learned after a decade of doing standup comedy that there will be times when I step on stage and people will automatically project political ideas onto me and I can't control that. And so, the balance for me is trusting the writers to know the direction that they're pointing us in. Our writers room is staffed of almost, I think, completely first-generation immigrants or people who are the children of first-generation immigrants. And so, like, that was really comforting for me. You know, going into this show I didn't want to be sort of like the diverse face of a roomful of white guys writing stories that they had no idea what they were talking about. And so, I feel very trusting of sort of the direction that we're going," he said.
