‘Tha God’s Honest Truth With Lenard “Charlamagne” McKelvey’ Preview
Comedy Central’s latest socially conscious and searingly honest TV program is “Tha God’s Honest Truth With Lenard ‘Charlamagne’ McKelvey,” starring radio presenter, actor, and author Charlamagne Tha God. “Rooted in truth, coated in comedy and unapologetically Black, Charlamagne Tha God takes on social issues and topics permeating politics and culture” in this new show, according to the Comedy Central press release.
“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert is executive producing the show. He and Charlamagne have been friends for several years, bonding over both of them growing up in South Carolina.
This is one of those moments where I can show you better than I can tell you,” said Charlamagne in a statement. “This is the third talk show Chris McCarthy has done with me and those shows prepared me for this opportunity. My South Carolina brethren Stephen Colbert is the ultimate cosign in the late-night space and he wouldn’t cosign no bulls***. We are going to win an Emmy next year for best lighting direction I can feel it.”
“For too long, the town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina has been underrepresented in late-night,” added Colbert. “I look forward to all the ways in which the fearless, peerless Charlamagne is going to change the game.”
“Charlamagne knows exactly what he wants to do with this show – which is smack the audience upside the head every week and make sure they’re paying attention to the world around them,” said executive producer, Aaron McGruder. “He is keenly aware of the power of his voice and always looking to use it to maximum effect, which requires both talent and courage. I’m very excited to be a part of this project.”
“Charlamagne is one of the most culturally significant voices of our time,” said Chris McCarthy, President and CEO, MTV Entertainment Group. “His thought-provoking and uninhibited observations both get under people’s skin and open their minds which is why we are thrilled to be doing this show with him and equally thrilled to welcome back the Dean of Late Night to Comedy Central, Mr. Stephen Colbert.”
“Tha God’s Honest Truth With Lenard ‘Charlamagne’ McKelvey,” airs Fridays at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Comedy Central.
