He's also known for releasing 31 videos in one day, a feat that garnered praise from Vulture and The A.V. Club. A select number of these sketches were compiled into a pilot called "Kwaczala," which won Best Late Night Series at Seriesfest 2019 and was declared "Funniest Show at Seriesfest" by Paste Magazine. The full series can be watched on Amazon Prime. Recently, he did it AGAIN, this time releasing 21 videos in a day for the year 2021.

Kenice was a host for the VICE News series, "Complexify," and made her TV debut in 2021, performing stand-up on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." She also worked on the 2020 BET Awards and wrote on "By Us, For Us," a comedy sketch show for ColorofChange.org.

Mohanad Elshieky is a New York based comedian who made his national TV debut on "Conan," has been featured on Comedy Central, and has toured with Pop Up Magazine. He is a co-host of the new Lemonada podcast, "I'm Sorry," where each week the hosts unravel the latest and greatest in twitter gaffes, petty beef and not-so-subtle shade. In 2018, he appeared in an episode of Epix's "Unprotected Sets" and was listed as one of Thrillist's 50 Best Undiscovered Comics. Mohanad, who is currently a digital producer on "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," has a special skill for making you laugh at the seemingly unlaughable. The Libyan-born comedian combines a deceptively laid-back demeanor with his whip-smart perspective on politics and culture. The Portland Mercury called him "an undisputed genius of comedy" and he's been featured on podcasts such as Lovett or Leave It, Pod Save The People and Harmontown. He also toured across the country with the critically acclaimed storytelling show Pop Up Magazine. Elshieky zeroes in on topics that seem off limits, then surprises you with how hard you are laughing. Follow Mohanad on twitter: @MohanadElshieky
