Description

“This film is not the answer, but it’s a call to action.” Emmy award-winning documentarian Alexandria Stapleton talks to Josh Johnson about producing and directing the Netflix docuseries, “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” including her shared concern with producing partner Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson not to indict the entire Hip-Hop culture along with the music mogul and how the sense of trepidation among the documentary crew and interview participants has shifted since the release of the series and the arrest of Sean Combs. They also share their personal theories of how Combs, a master of reinvention, might try to rebrand himself upon his release and how Stapleton hopes the series will lead to more conversations that can help push Hip-Hop, society, and justice systems forward. #DailyShow #AlexandriaStapleton #SeanCombsTheReckoning Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Those people who survived Combs are even braver than they looked in the series, now that it's clear they didn't know each other were coming forward when they said those things.

Josh feels so earnest as an interviewer, like he actually cares what his guests have to say. His emotional intelligence is always on full display.
