Veteran late night comedians Larry Wilmore and Amber Ruffin are bringing their talents to Peacock. NBCUniversal’s streaming service will be premiering two new late night talk shows from the duo later this month and the streamer dropped trailers for each title on Monday.
Wilmore’s show, simply titled “Wilmore,” will premiere on Peacock on September 18. Per NBCUniversal, “Wilmore” will center on “real discussions with high profile people from all different backgrounds including sports, politics and entertainment. Each episode will not only cover the election but will also engage in the important conversations of the week. It will be funny, sometimes serious, potentially awkward and most definitely honest.” “Wilmore” Jo Miller, Tony Hernandez, Brooke Posch, David Miner and Michael Rotenberg serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Jax Media and Universal Television.

Larry Wilmore is ready to talk to America about race. And so is Amber Ruffin.
Peacock dropped the trailers for Wilmore and Ruffins’s upcoming late-night shows on Monday, and the “Wilmore” video features the actor and comedian brainstorming about those conversations — with himself.
Ruffin, a writer for “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” is finally getting her own late-night show, which features, among many wonderful jokes and skits, “Thoughtful monologues on how to defeat systemic racism!”
“Okay, so we got this brand new late-night show coming to Peacock where we’re finally going to have those conversations that America says they want to have right now,” Wilmore said to himself in the video. “Finally,” he answered himself.
Wilmore’s show premieres this Friday, Sept. 18, with new episodes coming weekly, including discussions with high profile people from all different backgrounds, including sports, politics, and entertainment. Each episode will cover the election...

Peacock is preparing to launch two weekly comedy shows, Wilmore and The Amber Ruffin Show, and has debuted clips from both.
Both shows, which launch on September 18 and September 25 respectively, would have, in the old world, been considered late night shows, although in a streaming environment this is less the case.
Wilmore marks the Black-ish exec producer’s return to late-night television following his stint as a correspondent on The Daily Show between 2006 and 2014 and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, which ran for two seasons on Comedy Central, ending in 2016.
In the show, Wilmore will have discussions with high profile people from all different backgrounds including sports, politics and entertainment. Each episode will cover the election and important conversations of the week.
Peacock has ordered 11 episodes of the show and over the weekend, he told the New York Times that this is a limited run. “Is it going to get picked up?...
