ComicView: Rooftop Series<\/a>.\u201d Chris \u201cCP\u201d Powell returns as host of the program, which will see 60 comedians performing on a Hollywood rooftop.<\/p>\n\n\tVeteran comics Affion Crockett, Cocoa Brown, Lavell Crawford and Luenell join the Season 2 lineup alongside rising talent.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI\u2019m beyond proud and excited to be back at the helm for Season 2 of \u2018ComicView: Rooftop Series,\u2019\u201d Powell said. \u201cSeason 1 was amazing, and this season promises to be even better, with bigger comics and even bigger laughs. BET being back at the forefront of stand-up comedy just feels right!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cComicView\u201d first aired in 1992 as a nationally broadcast showcase for up-and-coming comics. The show became a pillar of Black comedy and a launchpad for talent that would go on to become huge names in stand-up, including D.L. Hughley, Sommore, Cedric the Entertainer and Bruce Bruce.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe series rotated hosts throughout its initial run from 1992 to 2008, and it was briefly revived in 2014. After a nine-year absence, the show returned in 2024 as a four-episode series hosted by Mike Epps, taped at Kevin Hart\u2019s Hartbeat Weekend in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201c\u2018ComicView\u2019 is part of BET\u2019s DNA, and this rooftop proved our audience is still hungry for it,\u201d said Aisha Summers-Burke, EVP, head of creative, BET Studios. \u201cSeason 2 puts a whole new class of comics in front of them, and there\u2019s no one better than CP to hand them the mic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cComicView: Rooftop Series\u201d is executive produced by Jeru Tillman for Southfield Village Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keep on laughing: BET\u2019s \u201cComicView\u201d reboot has been renewed for Season 2.
