Peacock Sets Live Comedy Special From Colin Jost and Michael Che

Peacock has announced a new live comedy show titled Colin Jost & Michael Che Present: New York After Dark, featuring the Saturday Night Live duo hosting at The Bell House in Brooklyn. The show will stream on Sept. 12 and include a mix of NYC club comics and new talents. The Grammy-nominated band 1500 or Nothin’ will serve as the house band. The announcement comes at a time when the demand for stand-up specials is high, with platforms like Amazon and Hulu investing heavily in this genre. Despite not engaging in bidding wars for top comics, Peacock has secured specials like Kevin Hart’s. The show also serves as a promotion for SNL’s 50th season. (THR)
