FX is really starting to concentrate on their late-night programming.
They’ve just ordered six-episodes of a new late-night series staring comedian W. Kamau Bell and executive produced by Chris Rock.
The project is untitled so far but it will be a weekly half-hour series about politics, pop culture, race, religion, sex and more.
The exec who ordered the show explained their decision to order the show, saying:
“The presentation pilot that Chris and Kamau shot was terrific. Kamau is a tremendous young comedian who has a very smart and sharp take on life.
Working with Chris will only bring out the best of his talents. This series, along with Russell Brand├óΓé¼Γäós Strangely Uplifting, puts FX on really solid footing in the late-night arena.”
Sounds about right … especially when you consider the OTHER show the network has planned for it’s late-night line-up. As we’ve previously reported, FX has also ordered a Russell Brand-fronted show that should be similar to the The Daily Show.
But we assume that shows gonna be a bit goofier!
With all this concentration on late-night programming… will the day time suffer?
Probably not. LOLz!
