If you’ve watched Ziwe, you know it’s hard to leave the comedian host speechless. But that’s precisely what happened when recent guest Bob The Drag Queen answered a question we never knew we had.
The non-binary diva was in the pink seat when Ziwe asked him to elaborate on a statement from a previous interview. She began by confirming Bob’s claims of Harriet Tubman being the first Black superhero. He replied with a resounding “YES!” Ziwe then asked, “Who would win in a fight? Harriet Tubman or Spiderman?”
Ziwe shared the clip from the interview on her TikTok account.

As astounding as the thought of a fight between the Underground Railroad abolitionist and the Marvel character would be, Bob gave a pretty rational response.
Without hesitation, the Drag Race season eight winner stated, “I’m going to go with Harriet Tubman.”
Wanting the details behind his reasoning, Ziwe asked, “How would she beat Spider-Man’s ass?”
“Well, she has a gun,” he responded.
The host looked around the room, possibly processing the answer, but seemed very intrigued.
“And this is the Tom Holland version?”
Bob cuts her off, “Oh, that twink? She would ruin. Tom Holland is 98 pounds soaking wet with rain boots on.”
Bob continued as Ziwe was visibly laughing.
“Harriet Tubman is a scout for the U.S. Military. The cardio on this woman … From below the Mason Dixon to Canada, 12 times!”
Bob added, “Also, those guns back in the day. It wasn’t like a little bullet. It would break your whole s**t.”
“Closed casket,” Bob stated, as he emphasized the demise with a clapping hand gesture.
Ziwe sat speechless, with a look of shock mixed with respect.
The host then asked, “And your impression of Harriet shooting Spider-man? To the camera.”
Following the host’s lead, Bob looked into the camera with gun-shaped fingers, warning the Marvel superhero, “Watch out, spider-n***a.”
The interesting interview continued with Ziwe asking Bob about his claims of running for political office.
The performer spoke about his change of heart regarding the political world.
“I’m not cut out for politics. I don’t have what it takes.”
He explained that having what it takes is a certain level of servitude that he just doesn’t possess.
“I’m not very subservient. I’m a dom top.”
If this preview is any proof, @thatonequeen will bring the laughs on #ZIWE.

Although comical, Bob’s historical knowledge of Tubman is up to par.
In his November cover story interview with IN Magazine, he revealed that he is working on a fiction novel titled Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert.
The book will be about Tubman writing a rap album.
