"I delivered another energized short with Comedy Central!" Clift told Indian Country Today. "It's called 'How to Cope with Your Team Changing Its Native American Mascot' and it's a satire PSA about avid supporters whose groups just changed their odd Native mascots, similar to the Washington DC NFL group, Cleveland Indians and like, 1,000,000 different groups on the grounds that there are a ton."

The most recent video was all Clift's thought, which incorporates some noteworthy Native star power. "I composed, coordinated and star in it and I'm so glad for this thing. It additionally includes the very entertaining Jana Schmieding and Tai Leclaire from 'Rutherford Falls' on Peacock and John Timothy from 'Soul Rangers' on Netflix, so it has an all Native American voice cast (which I believe is a first for Comedy Central), and we had the boss Indigenous illustrator Marie Bower plan each of the odd Native mascots faces."
Clift added: "This is only a senseless three-minute satire short, however with 'Rutherford Falls' and 'Reservation Dogs' coming out this year, I believe it's excessively cool such that Native humorists are at last getting open doors in the media, and, because of the endeavors of a great deal of activists battling for quite a while, I'm excessively appreciative to the point that I had the opportunity to make this video about Native mascots changing, and not as something we're asking individuals to recognize. Funny TV couldn't have been exceptional accomplices in giving me a stage and assisting me with making what I needed to make."
In under about fourteen days, the video has accumulated above and beyond 600,000 perspectives.

True to form, a portion of the remarks have been free, others less, Clift says he accepts it and all in great fun. "I must say, I love the delightful way vocal remarks are at whatever point you post any Native satire thing on the web. Local Twitter will adore it and Sports Twitter will be stubborn with regards to it. Yet, that is exactly how it goes when you post stuff on the web, however any criticism is acceptable input."
Clift says an entertaining angle is the tips for avid supporters like waving instead of playing out the hatchet cleave and the sky is the limit from there.
The production of the video was an ideal excursion of about a year, he said, however he was incredibly thankful with respect to the receptivity of Comedy Central.
"The short came from a long excursion. I went to a lab cooperation called the Yes and Laughter Lab that Comedy Central and a couple of different associations put on a couple of years prior that acquainted me with a lot of truly incredible leaders at Comedy Central — who I contacted last year to do a takeover of their Instagram stories for Indigenous People's Day to advance a rundown of 25 Native American jokesters, just to follow I set up with IllumiNative," said Clift.
"We truly hit it off and they inquired as to whether I had any thoughts for computerized shorts or anything. I tried out Comedy Central this thought, and they cherished it. We've been dealing with it for likely with regards to a year since activity takes some time."
A holler and what's coming for Clift
"Something that I truly appreciate about this short is that it's a satire short with regards to Native games mascots changing and not us asking individuals to recognize that they're screwed up," Clift said.
"I can't give sufficient props to all the Native activists who have been battling for quite a long time with the goal that I can make this senseless, abnormal minimal short humiliating Native games mascots."
Clift said that as a Native comic and essayist, there's something else to come.
"With respect to what's next for me, I'm actually composing on 'Soul Rangers' on Netflix, which is coming out at some point in 2022."
