Past guests include President Barack Obama, Drake, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Kimmel, Lil Nas X, Will Smith, Patrick Mahomes, Megan Rapinoe, Kevin Hart, and Rob Gronkowski.

“On this episode, the star-studded group discuss confidence on the big stage, parenthood and WrestleMania,” teases the HBO press release.
“The Shop’s” episodes often take place inside barbershops, hence the title. It “gives viewers a one-of-a-kind barbershop experience, which for many provides a sanctuary for free-flowing and spirited discussions. The series will visit barbershops around the country to gather distinguished individuals who can speak honestly on sports, music, pop culture, world events, business and other culturally relevant topics,” reads the official site.
“The Shop is exactly why we created Uninterrupted,” says James. “Anyone who has been in a real barbershop, like the ones where I grew up, knows why this show can be so incredible. I’m really excited HBO believed in our idea and is helping us create something special.”
The next new episode of “The Shop” airs Friday, May 28 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
