Throwing Shade is a weekly comedy podcast and TV show[1] (which premiered on TV Land on January 17th, 2017) based on discussions of women's rights, LGBTQ rights, progressive politics and pop culture, hosted by Erin Gibson (a.k.a. "Feminasty") and Bryan Safi (a.k.a. "Homosensual").[2][3] Gibson and Safi are "equal-opportunity offenders," and their comedic repartee frequently features adult topics and a politically incorrect sense of humor, even as they explore serious cultural and political issues.[4]
Format
Each episode consists of a series of topical comedic dialogues and sparring between the co-hosts, plus occasional interviews with notable guests.[5] Their main focus is assessing current issues “affecting ladies and gays,” dissecting each topic with sass and humor accompanied by earnest passion for defending civil liberties.[6]
History
Gibson and Safi met while performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, and continued to work together as writers and hosts on InfoMania, on the Current TV network.[7] They released the first episode of Throwing Shade on November 9, 2011.[8]
On March 5, 2012 it was announced that Throwing Shade was joining the Maximum Fun podcast network.[9]
Throwing Shade has earned the People's Choice Podcast Award for Best GLBT Podcast two years in a row (2012,2013).[10]
On June 28 2017, The Maximum Fun Network announced that Throwing Shade would be leaving the network.[11][12] They subsequently joined the Earwolf Network.[13]
Hosts
Bryan Safi
Safi is a writer, actor, director, and television personality primarily known for his role in the popular podcast and television show on TV Land.[14] He is also the writer and co-creator of That's Gay, a television segment focused on gay issues that aired on Current TV, and an Emmy Award winning staff writer for the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Prior to his job on Ellen, he wrote for Joan Rivers on Fashion Police and worked as a staff writer on FunnyOrDie. Safi has appeared on the Upright Citizens Brigade stage for many years.[15] A working actor, he's appeared on The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Superstore, Adam Ruins Everything, and has a regular, recurring roll on 9-1-1 as "Josh."[16]
Erin Gibson
Gibson is a writer, director, comedian, and television personality and is a vocal advocate for the rights of women and an ardent supporter of the LGBT+ community. She uses her unique sense of comedy to spread the message of equality. Gibson has hosted segments on Current TV's Infomania which comically addressed the way women are treated in media around the world.[17] As an actress, she has had appearances on Kroll Show, Key and Peele, and Parks and Recreation, and has various other acting credits stretching back to 2006.[18] She was a regular contributor to Huff Post, from 2012-2017.[19]
Spinoff Series
In early 2019, Earwolf released a spinoff miniseries podcast, called Throwing Shoscar, hosted by Bryan Safi and "Ronna Glickman" (played by Jessica Chaffin) which focused on the 2019 Academy Awards season. In the miniseries, the hosts discussed the strong contenders for that year's awards ceremony, and subsequent episodes discussed the actual winners (and losers) of the major awards.[20] The show returned in 2020 to discuss that year's Academy Awards ceremony with guests Kate Aurthur, Editor-at-large, Variety and Adam B. Vary, Senior Entertainment Writer, Variety. Features of the episode included determining which celebrities were snubbed and special performances of the year's Best Song nominations.[21]
