Amber Chardae Robinson on Palm Royale and Comedic Genius of Kristin Wiig
Amber Chardae Robinson joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, the underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society, and co-stars Laura Dern, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, & Josh Lucas. Robinson, who portrays “Virginia,” talks about what the show offers with having been set in 1969, especially as a Black voice during that time, and in contrast to the resort characters she’s frequently at odds with, as well as how comedy serves as a vehicle for heavier subjects. The actress also tells us how hard it is to keep a straight face when you have Wiig as a scene partner, Virginia’s musical theme, and the Marvin Gaye song she would pick as her official theme song.
