As the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is looming (Jan. 19th at 11:30PM on Comedy Central), we’re all getting a better sense of how the show is shaping up.

For instance, they have just announced three contributors of The Nightly Show, which are the multi-hyphenate comedians Shenaz Treasury, Ricky Velez, and Mike Yard.

How they’ll contribute and how close that’ll be to Daily Show correspondent pieces and segments in studio has yet to be seen, but we’re throughly intrigued into how the “nightlyness” will play out.
