Comedy Central Renews Late-Night Series From Lowcountry Natives Charlamagne Tha God and Stephen Colbert
MTV Entertainment Group on Wednesday announced that Comedy Central’s Tha God’s Honest Truth with Charlamagne Tha God, created and hosted by multimedia personality and Moncks Corner native Lenard “Charlamagne” McKelvey and executive produced by Charleston native Stephen Colbert and Aaron McGruder, has been renewed for a second season and slated to premiere this summer. Leading up to the series return, Charlamagne will host a special series of exclusive, intimate one-on-one interviews as an extension of Tha God’s Honest Truth, which will feature notable names in entertainment, politics, comedy, publishing, and more.
“We are building a cultural institution with ‘Tha God’s Honest Truth,’ a destination for those who are unafraid to take on social issues with honest conversations meant to challenge, educate, and by the looks of the comments on IMDB infuriate,” said Charlamagne. “It’s not easy getting a season two of a TV show nowadays so I don’t take this blessing for granted at all!”
“There is no one on television like Charlamagne,” said Colbert. “I’m excited to see what Truths Tha God gets Honest about in Season 2 of TGHT!”
Tha God’s Honest Truth capped off its inaugural season by welcoming guests like Vice President Kamala Harris (see below), Ed Sheeran, Kevin Hart, Meagan Good, Chlöe Bailey, Soulja Boy, and more.
