The day is finally here when The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle is making their debut on Comedy Central.

We’ve had the privilege of seeing Baron and Mike grow this stand-up-sketch-music-comedy mash-up from the ground up here in LA and what they’ve got coming with this show, from what we’ve seen, is pretty fantastic.

You can get a taste of what’s to come with this featurette.

It almost seems like another era when we went to a taping of The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle and then, consequently wondered when the world would get to enjoy what we got to see up close.

Finally, that day is just around the corner as the stand-up/sketch/rap comedy compendium showcase will premiere on Fri., Apr. 19th at 11PM on Comedy Central. As you can see from this trailer, you’ve got something really dope in store just a few weeks from now. This will include performances/appearances from Naomi Ekperigin, Lil’ Rel, Chris Redd, Dulce Sloan, Sam Jay, David Gborie, George Wallace, Hannibal Buress, Candice Thompson, Tone Bell, Clayton English, Sasheer Zamata, Josh Johnson, Lucas Brothers, Kevin Avery, and more.

So, set a reminder (even through we’ll remind you too).

For 2017-2018, Comedy Central Announces a Reggie Watts Competition, New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle, and Pilots from Arturo Castro, Neal Brennan, Noël Wells, and Awkwafina

It was already enticing enough to hear what Comedy Central has lined-up with late night thus far between Moshe Kasher, The President Show with Atamanuik’s Trump, Jim Jefferies, and Jordan Klepper’s new show.

Now, they’ve got a whole new chunk of programming and pilots that give a lot to look forward to.

Taskmaster, from Alex Horne, has Reggie Watts hosting a competition as the “taskmaster” between comedians performing “stupefying tasks”. New Negroes will be the TV adaptation of the live showcase hosted by Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle featuring new black talent.

Comedy Central has also upped their digital series Alternatino with Arturo Castro and Delco Proper from John McKeever and Tommy Pope to full fledged TV pilots.

The other pilots include projects such as Neal Brennan interviewing celebrity guests in their home town, former Nightly Show contributor Franchesca Ramsey perhaps repackaging The Nightly Show, and a stand-up show from Jak Knight.

Scripted half-hour pilots include a South Side Chicago based comedy from Bashir Salahuddin, Diallo Riddle and Sultan Salahuddin, a Queens based comedy following rapper/actress/comedian Awkwafina, an Austin based sitcom from Noël Wells, and an existential sibling comedy from Chris Kelly & Sarah Schneider.

From this, we can only hope that Comedy Central reaffirms its place in comedy going forward as Netflix, HBO, and FX are currently riding the high tides of critical praise and awards.
