HBO has ordered The Gray Area with Charlamagne Tha God, a series of four interview specials hosted by the radio and TV personality. The first of the hourlong specials is set to debut later this year.
Guy Code alum Charlamagne Tha God will executive produce The Gray Area with Karen Kinney. Currently there is no information on the guests and topics Charlamagne Tha God plans to tackle in the specials.
Charlamagne Tha God is co-host of the nationally syndicated hip-hop iHeartRadio program, The Breakfast Club. In addition to Guy Code, his TV credits include Guy Court, Girl Code and Uncommon Sense — all on MTV2. He is repped by KK Entertainment, ICM partners and attorney Loan Dang.
“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,” said Charlamagne. “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”
“Charlamagne brings a provocative, thoughtful and always honest voice to all of his interviews,” said Nina Rosenstein, EVP HBO Programming. “We think these specials will be surprising and enlightening and we look forward to seeing who he brings to the table.”
