Open Mike Eagle Gets Comedy Central TV Show “The New Negroes”

The network also picked up a program starring Reggie Watts, and ordered a pilot for a show with rapper Awkwafina

Open Mike Eagle is getting a TV show on Comedy Central, according to Deadline. It’s called “The New Negroes,” and it’s based on his and Baron Vaughn’s comedy showcase of the same name. The program (co-hosted and executive produced by Mike and Vaughn) will combine music and standup comedy. Speaking with Deadline, Comedy Central president Kent Alterman said the show “taps into something that is so real and vital, it’s tapping into black comedy while presenting multiple points of view and different angels on material and performances that is reflective of the world we are living in.” Other pilots picked up by the network include a U.S. adaptation of “Taskmaster,” starring Reggie Watts. An untitled project with rapper Awkwafina is also in the works.

Last year, Open Mike Eagle appeared on “The Eric Andre Show,” where he competed in the Rapper Warrior Ninja obstacle course. Also in 2016, he put out a record with Paul White called Hella Personal Film Festival. His last solo LP, Dark Comedy, was released in 2014.
