BET orders late-night talk show from Chris Rock and Robin Thede
The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore is no more, but at least one of its alums has found a new showcase for her talents. According to The Hollywood Reporter, former Nightly Show head writer and contributor Robin Thede will host her own late-night talk show, The Rundown With Robin Thede, on BET. The satirical news show has picked up a 24-episode order, and will have a half-hour runtime, during which Thede will “take on the week’s headlines in politics and pop culture with a fast-paced, no-holds-barred show that will feature social commentary, sketch comedy and pop culture parodies.”
