“The special will cover topics ranging from sexual histories and finances to why women should wrestle men. In a preview clip, James jokes that men’s fear of one another is why guns exist, arguing that women are not the ones men need protection from.

Her role as Ava Coleman has earned James five consecutive Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe nomination, a Critics Choice Television Award and two NAACP Image Awards, according to Deadline.
