WILMORE
Peacock, 3:00 a.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: As Senior Black Correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Wilmore was a very funny, very outspoken standout. As host of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Wilmore was brilliantly vocal, and way ahead of his time, on such issues as the historic insult and racial subtext of the Confederate flag and what became the Black Lives Matter movement. If Comedy Central executives don’t regret cancelling Wilmore’s show after a single season, they ought to. But now, Wilmore is back, with a new weekly talk and comedy discussion series on Peacock, called, simply, Wilmore. If the program is anywhere near as funny as its on-air promos, where Wilmore promoted the show by interviewing himself in split screen, we’re in for another fun ride.
