SUMMARY
In support of Comedy Central’s new series Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, Comedy Central created a first-to-market media stunt execution for the show's premiere and to pay homage to the series' titular borough. The show took over the audio on NYC's 7 Train, which runs through the heart of Queens. The week leading into premiere, Awkwafina became the 7 train guest announcer, with a recording of her voice announcing every stop (and then some), showcasing her signature comedic flare. This takeover received widespread national coverage and massive press attention.
