Over the last year, Charlamagne Tha God has been an extremely busy man. Between his duties with Viacom, The Brilliant Idiots and The Breakfast Club, he is already one of the busiest men in entertainment. When you add in his year-end special on Revolt and his upcoming book, it’s impossible not to see him on the internet or on television. Today, the radio personality added another job to his stellar resume. HBO announced today that it will partner with The Breakfast Club host to produce a new interview series called The Gray Area. Executive produced by Emmy winner, Karen Kinney, the series will consist of four interviews touching on various topics.
After the series was announced, Nina Rosenstein of HBO said, “Charlamagne brings a provocative, thoughtful and always honest voice to all of his interviews.” She later added, “We think these specials will be surprising and enlightening and we look forward to seeing who he brings to the table.” Charlamagne Tha God was also understandably excited about the partnership. The Brilliant Idiots host said, “I feel extremely blessed to be able to announce my official partnership with HBO on a new conversation series which will provide a safe space for ‘unsafe’ people to curate their stories and control their own narratives.” He also added, “The reality is, when it comes to people’s stories, it’s not black or white, it’s always an area that’s a shade of gray and that’s usually where the lies end and the truth begins, and this show will give those people an opportunity to share their truth. Thank you to my new television home, HBO and all praise is due to god!”
The series is expected to begin filming soon and debut later this year.
