Welcome to the backyard boogie, where the stakes stay high, the jokes land sharp, and the cards don't lie! We Playin’ Spades brings together comedians, actors, singers, and viral legends for unapologetic matchups around the now-iconic turquoise table. Hosted by Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee—two pros at talkin’ slick and playing slick—this show ain’t just about the game. It’s about the culture behind it.

Each episode, a new set of celebrity guests pull up thinking they’re ready. But once the cards get dealt and the table starts talkin’, egos get checked and true colors show. From wild overbids to busted bags, the drama is loud, the laughs are real, and the gameplay is as cutthroat as it is hilarious.

And it doesn’t stop at the cards. Nick and Courtney stay pulling folks’ cards too—calling out bad hands, messy moves, and even messier stories. By the time the last book drops, somebody’s been humbled, and a little tea’s been spilled.

Whether you're here for the strategy, the side-eyes, or the smoke, We Playin’ Spades brings the culture to your screen—one hand at a time.

Alabama Gangs, Schoolhouse Paddles, and Oscar Night Chaos with Roy Wood Jr. and Andre Holland | 22
This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney welcome two Alabama slammers to the Turquoise Table: comedian and Daily Show alum Roy Wood Jr. and actor-director Andre Holland, the creative force behind their new film Love, Brooklyn. Roy and Andre take us back to their Birmingham and Bessemer roots — from Roy debunking the myth that Alabama is all civil rights history and sweet tea — yes, there are gangs — to the teachers who stayed armed with paddles like it was part of the curriculum. The Table dives into bummy fathers, debates masculinity in Black media, and why emotional honesty still feels like a foreign language to half the men they know. Roy breaks down the state of free speech in comedy(and why some folks just aren’t gonna vibe with what you’re saying, no matter how you say it), while Andre recounts the pure chaos and confusion he and the Moonlight cast lived through the night that infamous Oscar card got read. Shuffle up and sip slow — these two are dealing all the wild stories today. Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
