Chet Hanks refused to apologise for culturally appropriating accents as he and Emily Ratajkowski Hanks were grilled in the second season trailer for Showtime talk show ZIWE 

On Thursday, Showtime unveiled the trailer for the 12-episode second season of Ziwerekoru ‘Ziwe’ Fumudoh’s self-titled talk show where she grills celebs including two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks’ son.

The 30-year-old cringe comedian first asked the 31-year-old fitness coach, who appeared on the show alongside Emily Ratajkowski: ‘What accent will you be conducting this interview in?’

Chet – who’s been known to culturally appropriate various ‘blaccents’ – replied using Jamaican slang: ‘Bof!’

When Ziwe asked if there were any marginalized communities he wanted to apologize to on her official apology cam, Hanks replied: ‘Nah.’

Chet had routinely hit with claims of ‘cultural appropriation’ for frequently attempting to speak in a fake ‘Jamaican’ accent.

In 2020, he was yet again slammed for impersonating what seemed to be Jamaican patois – an English-based creole language with West African influences – in a bizarre video rant about Donald Trump following Joe Biden’s presidential win.  

The twosome – who both attended Northwestern University – then performed sit-ups, likely as part of the Your Honor actor’s self-mastery program.

Fumudoh also puts Inamorata CEO Emily Ratajkowski on the spot in the two-minute preview.

When the Massachusetts-born funnywoman asked the 30-year-old My Body author what exactly empowerment meant to her, she shrugged: ‘I don’t know what empowerment means.’

Ziwe didn’t break her smile as she simply said: ‘Wow.’

On Oscar night March 27, Emily and Fumudoh took a ‘bathroom break’ together inside the Wallis Annenberg Center, which was uploaded to TikTok.

Ratajkowski and the Dickinson actress-story editor’s vainglorious posing in the mirror was hilariously interrupted by Wolf Like Me actress Isla Fisher.

Also being interviewed in the teaser by the Ziwe was The Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God, who vaguely said that facts ‘sort of’ exist.

The trailer shows a glimpse of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip star Luann de Lesseps, but it’s unclear if she gets interviewed or performs a song from her cabaret act.

Other guests include Jane Krakowski, Nicole Byer, Ilana Glazer, Hannibal Buress, Mia Kalifa, Adam Pally, Katya Zamolodchikova, and person behind the anonymous Instagram account DeuxMoi.

Topics for the first six episodes are critical race theory, celebrity rights activist, socially liberal/financially conservative, hot, and empowerment.

ZIWE is also a variety show with musical numbers and sketches.

‘A woman belongs in the House, and the Senate – and the basement if she’s bad,’ the Succession guest star wisecracked.

ZIWE officially premieres on April 29 via streaming/on demand before being broadcast May 1 on the cable network.

It will be broken into two installments, with the final six episodes premiering later this year.

The first season – featuring Bowen Yang, Rachel Brosnahan, Christopher Meloni, and Gloria Steinem – scored a 73% critic approval rating and a 54% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Seriously? She looked at him incredulously

‘We lead with improvisation here, just because those are my roots as a comedian,’ Ziwe explained during a 2021 TCA preview panel.

‘So it really will feel loose and fun and fresh because we’re making it up as we go along.’

Fumudoh kicked off her career as an intern at Comedy Central, and her profile raised when she transformed her YouTube show Baited with Ziwe into a viral Instagram Live show during the COVID-19 pandemic.
