Grier debuted his satirical and absurdist take on the news with "Chocolate News" on Comedy Central. The show opened Wednesday October 15 at 10:30 pm to critical raves and good ratings.
Grier's deadpan snark is center stage on his latest effort, a completely biased comedy to blow the lid off the urban experience in modern-day America.
Grier's “Chocolate News” is a hilarious take on pop culture events that makes no apologies for its biased approach with outrageous, character-driven sketches. An alum of "In Living Color," Grier has a solid acting CV; trained in Shakespeare at Yale, Grier began his professional career on Broadway as Jackie Robinson in “The First.”
Grier's chops extend to theater too; the Tony Award-nominee is the creator, executive producer and host of "Chocolate News."
Grier’s network television credits include “Life With Bonnie" opposite Bonnie Hunt, "DAG" as the title character, "In Living Color," "Damon," opposite Damon Wayans and in the miniseries "The 60's" and "King of Texas" for cable television. Grier has many feature film roles under his belt, including "BADASSS!", “The Woodsman" opposite Kevin Bacon and Mos Def, "15 Minutes," "Boomerang," "Bewitched," "Jumanji" and Robert Altman's "Streamers."
On tonight’s episode of “Chocolate News” we meet Thelonious Brown, a sports agent with only one goal -- to get more African-Americans into baseball's big leagues by any means necessary. Tune in every Wednesday at 10:30 pm on Comedy Central.
