YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Radio personality Charlamagne tha God, née Lenard McKelvey, is making the jump to the world of late-night television with a weekly half-hour talk show called “Tha God’s Honest Truth,” which debuts Friday at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.

“It’s my God’s honest truth about the society we live in,” McKelvey, 43, told The Post.

“We’ll be focusing on one [socially relevant] topic per episode,” he said of the show, which is executive produced by Stephen Colbert. “That topic will be dissected by me, and we’ll be doing some dope sketches and social experiments that will help reinforce its significance.”

McKelvey and his production crew, who he’s nicknamed his “God’s Honest Tribe,” will dedicate each show to trending themes like homophobia, injustices against black women, and the importance of mental health.
