Over the past decade, Franchesca Ramsey has amassed a sizable internet following thanks to her YouTube channel, her hosting gig on MTV’s webseries Decoded, and her stint as a contributor on the tragically short-lived The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore. Her success has resulted in her creating and executive producing her own show, titled Franchesca. At Sundance, where the first episode premiered, we spoke with Ramsey about the premise and her expectations for the show.
