#Roommates, it looks like Charlamagne Tha God is making big moves outside of “The Breakfast Club.” It has just been announced that Charlamagne has officially landed his own weekly talk show that is set to air on the Comedy Central network later this year.
According to @Deadline, Charlamagne Tha God is stepping into the forefront courtesy of his own weekly talk show on Comedy Central—which is prepped to launch ahead of the presidential elections in November. The network is likely anticipating that Charlamagne can bring his already ready large and existing audience with him to the new show, translating to high viewership numbers tuning in to get his branded take on pop culture, politics and more.
Speaking about his new television venture, Charlamagne had this to say:
“Giving me a TV deal, almost ten years ago, didn’t really make any sense. I was a radio guy. It’s easy to say, ‘You know what? I think Charlamagne Tha God needs a talk show’ now. But almost ten years ago for him to have that vision, that did a lot for me. A lot of my success right now is because of those looks that I got on MTV2 and Viacom at the time.”
Additionally, Chris McCarthy, President of Entertainment and Youth Group at ViacomCBS, spoke very highly of him, “Charlamagne’s voice is very right for today. It’s fresh and real and resonating in a way that very few can do.”
Currently, there is no exact premiere date for the new show—but given the quickly approaching elections, it will likely be sometime this fall.
