The programme will air at 9pm ET on Saturdays from 14th September 2024.
The American version of the long-running BBC comedy series, produced by Hat Trick Productions, will air for ten episodes and be presented by Roy Wood Jr.
“For far too long immigrants have been coming to America and taking black jobs, kudos to CNN and the immigrants at Hat Trick Productions for bringing a Black job to the States,” said Wood Jr.
“It is an honor to be a part of such a hallowed British institution to help make sense of the American institutions of chaos, name calling, disinformation, reality television and the 8-hour news cycle.”
Wood Jr served for eight years as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show from 2015-2023, and has made guest appearances in Only Murders in the Building, Better Call Saul, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
The programme will be available to stream on Max the following day.
