Sam Jay tackles racism and empathy in her new HBO special ‘Salute Me Or Shoot Me.’
’s signature spin on comedy is about breaking barriers and saying what we’re all probably thinking deep down inside.
That approach has been present in her writing for shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “That Damn Michael Che,” as well as her own series “Bust Down” and HBO late-night show “Pause With Sam Jay.” It flows effortlessly from Jay’s character Mo in her first feature film, “You People,” co-starring Jonah Hill.
And it’s exactly the vibe for her upcoming stand-up special, “Salute Me or Shoot Me,” which airs on HBO and Max on Sept. 23, where gender roles, race and policing language are a few of the polarizing topics Jay hits on. From sharing stories of being high while watching white people dance off-beat in a park to talking about being able to “let go” of certain racial issues, Jay serves up a freewheeling comedic experience.
It presented itself to me through the process of touring and working the hour. I had all these jokes, and I was trying to just figure out the theme of the conversation that I was trying to have. I wanted this special to have a driving force. My last special, I had good jokes but there wasn’t this overall narrative. I wanted to grow as an artist. The theme just started to be empathy, the more I was running around and doing bits.
