Issa Rae Tells Jimmy Fallon About The 'Awkward Black Girl' Image

As author of The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, Issa Rae pretty much detailed her life and how she became famous for it.

She stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about the phrase as she has a new TV series, Insecure set to premiere very soon.

Fallon told Rae how much he loved her story and wanted to hear more about her. Fallon knew her from her YouTube videos that he said was super funny.

Rae created a series that talked about being black at Stamford University to procrastinate and not have to do a paper. She continued to create until she got to the Awkward Black Girl series that became so famous.

Fallon said Rae is really good at being the Awkward Black Girl and she agreed while pointing out their earlier meeting in the hallway. She wanted to know if they ran into each other the second time, whether or not she had to acknowledge him.

Meanwhile, Fallon revealed that HBO is a big deal as it marks a separation from the early stages with YouTube.

I'll be mid-flight when this airs tonight, but ... BRUH! This is getting realer and realer to me everyday. I think the realization of this moment hit me right before I walked from behind the curtain onto the stage, and then I went right into "awkward" mode; a familiar feeling that has become oddly comforting, because it reminds me to cherish these moments we've worked so hard for and to enjoy the ride while it lasts. P.S. @jimmyfallon is the nicest. COUNTDOWN: 4 Days. : Andrew Lipovsky/NBC #InsecureHBO
