Iliza Shlesinger to Get Her Own Weekly Late Night Show on Freeform
Well, late night is really getting shaken up this week.
Comedy Central announced the addition of two late night series, The President Show with Donald Trump as played by Anthony Atamanuik and a Daily Show companion series hosted by Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper.
Also, Fox News just cancelled its own late night comedy series Red Eye.
On top of all of that, Iliza Shlesinger is getting her own weekly late night show on cable network Freeform called Truth & Iliza. She’ll be focused on a specific theme with each episode, then have segments, field pieces, etc. go from there.
Truth & Iliza is set to premiere on Tuesday, May 2nd at 10PM.
If you take a look at the late night landscape, it’s getting bigger than ever since more of cable has joined the fray with options diverting far from the traditional late night talk show format.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Desus & Mero, Throwing Shade, and more offer a stark contrast to Fallon, Colbert, Kimmel, Corden, and Meyers on broadcast networks.
The three newly announced late night shows with Iliza, Klepper, and Atamanuik are sure to add to that growth.
