Peacock has announced Colin Jost & Michael Che Present: New York After Dark, the first-ever live comedy special for the streamer. The comedy event will be hosted by the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update duo and will stream live with an in-person audience from The Bell House in Brooklyn.
Tune in on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET for a night of “drop-ins only,” featuring Colin and Michael’s favorite NYC club comics, fresh faces, and maybe even some names you already know and love.
Special guest appearances will feature both up-and-coming and established comics in New York. Grammy-nominated musical ensemble 1500 or Nothin’ will be the house band accompanying performances throughout the special.
Colin Jost & Michael Che Present: New York After Dark is the inaugural production for both 7F Project and No Notes Productions.
Colin Jost, Jeff Grosvenor, and Emily Hason of No Notes Productions; Michael Che (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and Rachael Edwards of 7F Project; and Rikki Hughes of Magic Lemonade serve as executive producers. Michael Mancini directed the special.
Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, serves as the studio. The special has a runtime of 60 minutes and will stream live.
