In the first collaboration of this kind, a celebrity has taken over the announcements on one of New York City's subway lines. Awkwafina, the Chinese-Korean-American comedian and rapper who recently won a Golden Globe for her performance in The Farewell, is starring in the Comedy Central series Awkwafina is Nora from Queens which premieres on January 22nd, 2020. This new collaboration with Awkwafina, who will be guest announcing along the entire 7 line for a week, adds a bit of color and sass.

Above the screeching of the trains on the tracks, you might hear things like "Next stop is in Manhattan! So we're going underwater. Hold your breath! Just kidding. The next stop is Grand Central-42nd Street." Or "This is Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue. Hey fellas! Stop manspreading!  Thanks and have a great day." Or "Welcome to Queens! Don't let anyone tell you it's connected to Long Island. It's not!" Or on the more sarcastic side: "The next stop is Times Square-42nd Street where New Yorkers go to relax" and "The next and last stop is Hudson Yards-34th Street. Hope you like weird architecture!
