Jay Ellis recalls seeking advice from Jordan Peele on directing Insecure, offers a few details on Issa Rae's star-studded yacht parties

Ellis says he bumped into Peele at a restaurant, and the Get Out director gave him two hours of his time. “I did not ask him for a job, although I wanted to,” he cracks in a Rolling Stone interview. “But Jordan, if you’re watching this, you can still give me one.” Ellis also offered a taste of Rae's yacht parties. “I don’t know how much detail I can actually give for these parties,” he says, “Because first thing about yacht parties, you don’t talk about yacht parties!” Ellis does confirm, however, that the yacht departs from Long Beach with “enough alcohol to last you for the voyage from L.A. across the Pacific to Australia, if you needed it.”
