Stay Tuned reported back in May that Mo’Nique would be joining the talk show club. That’s right. The Queen of Comedy will headline The Mo’Nique Show, a late night talk show premiering October 5 at 1opm, as part of BET’s new fall lineup.
The comedienne will interview A-List celebrities and present performances from today’s hot musical talent. It’s the typical talk show format, but I’m glad Mo’Nique has her own show. She’s my favorite Queen of Comedy. Plus, she makes things happen. She has books, movies, perfume, she appeared on Oprah—she doesn’t play.
In this case, Mo’Nique will be taking on the role of the interviewer but have you seen her being interviewed? She’s genuinely funny. Hopefully, she’ll take that same approach when the roles are reversed. If she does, then we’ll have nothing to worry about as the show will be a hit. I haven’t seen a late night talk show that I was really into since Arsenio Hall—and I had to sneak to watch that because I was barely out of diapers.
Other original programming premiering this fall on BET include Heart of the City, about journeys to various US cities to discover what’s happening in urban centers and the African American community, First In, about real life firefighters and paramedics living and working in Compton, Pay It Off, a game show hosted by Kim Coles, which will offer winning contestants debt relief and Monica: Still Standing, a docu-drama following the singer as she tackles being a full-time mother while staying in the music industry spotlight.
