Angela Yee is reacting after Jess Hilarious was revealed as the new co-host of ‘The Breakfast Club.’ As The Shade Room previously reported, Yee departed from the radio show in December 2022 after a 12-year run.
Earlier this week, a video clip was posted to the official Instagram account of Yee’s current radio show. The show’s name is ‘Way Up With Angela Yee‘
In this clip, Yee is seen hosting the show in the studio. She begins by telling listeners that she wanted to “shine a light” on Jess Hilarious.
“Alright, well, today I think we should shine a light on Jess Hilarious for joining ‘The Breakfast Club.’ You know, she’s got her own podcast. We know her from ‘Wild N’ Out.’ We know her from Jess With The Mess [comedy sketches] — she is also an actress.” We know her from ‘Wild N’ Out.’ We know her from her ‘Jess With The Mess‘–– she’s an actress as well.”Ultimately, Yee ended her statements by saying, “Congratulations to her.”
“I know it’s not an easy job,” she said before laughing.
Social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their reactions to Yee’s statements. Many applauded her for “positively acknowledging” Jess Hilarious.

As previously reported by The Shade Room, Charlamagne Tha God had been rotating guest hosts since Yee’s exit in 2022. However, in December 2023, Jess Hilarious went viral after announcing she secured her spot on the show.
That month, Charlamagne and DJ Envy sparked more conversation by sharing their confusion about the show’s selection process.
Furthermore, the comedian’s comments left some people believing she was on bad terms with the radio hosts.
“Didn’t get the job now she want to trash the company, they were just your brothers,“
Instagram user @thisisnotkory wrote in The Shade Room’s comment section at the time. Jess Hilarious, the new official co-host of the show, was announced earlier this week. The comedian and her co-hosts are not speaking out about the confusion. However, Jess Hilarious has taken to Instagram to thank her fans for their support.
