Stand-up comedian and Saturday Night Live writer Sam Jay is getting her own late night talk show on HBO. Still untitled, it will be a weekly 30-minute series where Sam will tackle "the top trending topics in urban and world culture for the week – including race, politics, sexual identity, science, celebrity, religion, and more – and examine them from her unique and subversive point of view." The series will be produced by Prentice Penny (Insecure, Happy Endings).
"I’m really excited to bring my point of view to late-night television and have felt nothing but support creatively from HBO and A Penny For Your Thoughts,” says Sam in a statement. "So everyone wear your mask and vote so I can make my TV show! Thaaaanks!"
