“This is one of those moments where I can show you better than I can tell you. 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 co-sign in the late-night space and he wouldn’t co-sign no bulls**t! We are going to win an Emmy next year for best lighting direction I can feel it!!!”
“Tha God’s Honest Truth” is executive produced by big names like “Boondocks” creator Aaron McGruder and “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert. McGruder expressed his admiration of Charlamagne and the upcoming show.
“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. 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,” he said.
You can catch Charlamagne’s new show on September 17th at 10PM EST.
