Comedian and Queens native Grace Johnson joins Devon on the show this week to speak on the evolution of p*ssy rap, explain why Janet Jackson is mother, and to float a theory about Justin Timberlake’s “Justified” album. 

Grace Johnson is a Nigerian New Yorker and a rising star in comedy, recently named one of the New York Comedy Festival’s 2023 “Comics to Watch” and a finalist in New York’s Funniest 2024. With a comedy special on Don’t Tell Comedy and a finalist spot at the Big Sky Comedy Festival, Grace makes audiences laugh coast to coast. In 2023, she was crowned the Bell House Newcomer, and her sharp, delightfully nerdy perspective—what she calls “Glasses Comedy”—invites you to see the world through her witty, unapologetic lens. Johnson was a Just For Laughs “New Face” in 2025, and currently cohosts the “CRANK THAT” Comedy Show, a monthly comedy event showcasing a mix of established and emerging talent.
