A podcast hosted by Robinson and Jessica Williams, 2 Dope Queens, led to the HBO series of the same name.
Robinson, a comedian, has a book called Everything’s Trash, But It’s Okay.
A Hollywood Reporter review of the show read, “Everything’s Trash makes the case for loving its imperfect heroine just as she is, for appreciating her crackling energy and sincere intentions while also rooting for her as she tries, off and on, to become an even better version of herself. Her series deserves the same.”
