CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase, designed to boost the chances of minorities seeking opportunities in Hollywood, has turned out graduates like @TiffanyHaddish & @NicoleByer.

Now, with Hollywood on hold, it& #39;s derailed the momentum of showcase hopefuls https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-04-13/coronavirus-cbs-diversity-showcase-performers">https://www.latimes.com/entertain...

Jared Goldstein—featured in one of the showcase’s most outrageous sketches as a gay sex-ed teacher—went to “lots of meetings” following the showcase.

Now, "adapting to be a Zoom comedian & being an Instagram Live performer has provided challenges, honey!” https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-04-13/coronavirus-cbs-diversity-showcase-performers">https://www.latimes.com/entertain...

Nabeel Muscatwalla made a strong impression at CBS& #39; diversity showcase.

Soon after the show, he scored a role in a CBS comedy pilot, “Jury Duty.” But then, like other series, production on the show has halted https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-04-13/coronavirus-cbs-diversity-showcase-performers">https://www.latimes.com/entertain...
