Spend an hour with Chonda Pierce and you could count on laughing for the rest of the day—maybe even the rest of your life. Her fairly innocent irreverence is applied to topics ranging from growing up as a preacher’s daughter, shopping at Walmart, to political fodder. Pierce also performed at several White House events when Donald Trump was president.
She has appeared on a myriad of major television shows including the daytime ABC talk show “The View,” where she left the show’s liberal hosts and longtime stand-up comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar—both known for their raunchy skits—scratching their heads over her success. Pierce recalling Behar telling her, ”I don’t introduce myself as a Jewish comedian,” after Pierce was introduced on the show as a Christian comic.
