87 episodes
5 days ago

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.

Twerking, Spilling Tea and Real Housewives Fashion Tips with Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby | 20
This week on We Playin’ Spades, it’s getting reasonably shady at the Turquoise Table because Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby have entered the backyard! The reigning queens of Real Housewives of Potomac pull up ready to talk their talk—and Gizelle wastes no time arguing with Nick about which school is the real HU (Hampton or Howard… let us know in the comments). We get into the Grand Dame’s homecoming (with all due respect to the throne), Ashley gives us a live dissertation on Twerkonomics 101, and the table debates which Housewives franchise shows up to brunch looking… less than grand (we’re just calling a spade a spade, okay?) The shade is light, the laughs are loud, and the bids are locked. Grab your drink, grab your partner — because today? It’s not for the faint of wig.

Paternity Tests, Talk Show Wars, and Staying On Par with Maury Povich | 17
This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee welcome the legend himself—Maury Povich! The man who turned “You are NOT the father!” into an era-defining moment pulls up to the Turquoise Table to talk legacy, laughter, and lies detected. Maury gets candid about the wild west of daytime talk in the ‘90s, why he walked away from sports journalism as a cub reporter, and how he managed to convince broadcast queen Connie Chung to say yes. Plus, he dishes on his latest chapter—his new podcast On Par with Maury Povich.

Together, Maury and Pablo turn the tables on Nick—asking the self-proclaimed “father of many” a few paternity questions of their own. It’s old-school media meets new-school mayhem—and when the cards hit the table, will the truth set ‘em free, or will somebody be shamed into running off set?

From Nick and Cynthia's steamy photo shoot to the age-old question of who’s most likely to toss a cocktail during an argument, these two keep it playful and petty in the best way. Cynthia breaks down her transformation into “50 Cent,” Porsha reflects on the Underground Railroad, and both weigh in on the true queens of reality TV. It's laughs, light shade, and just enough chaos to make Andy Cohen proud. Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

We Playin' Spades

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.
