Zainab Johnson never intended to be a comedian. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Harlem with her 12 siblings, she was neither the family jokester nor the class clown.
“I always considered myself a very serious person,” she says. “I’m the person that is annoyed by the class clown, and that’s what’s funny about me: The class clown is going to get on my nerves, and I’m going to tell everybody and imitate him or her.”
But around the age of 10, her mother sneaked her into Harlem...

100 Humans is a new Netflix Original show that aims to investigate some of the strangest questions to ever be asked on television by putting 100 people into certain activities and games to test these wild and crazy ideas – some of which are actually created by the test subjects!
The series opens with an explanation of the show – an explanation which gauged my interest as to me it’s a super interesting concept for a show.

This is a common thing and helps adds to the vibe of the series. Instead...
