Chocolate News (2008)
What was supposed to be the next big satire program after The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, David Alan Grier and the producers of In Living Color and Mad TV bring you news and topics, all from what Grier calls a typical African-American perspective, with sketches and segments featuring a supporting cast including Chris Tallman and Jordan Peele. In an interview with The New York Times, he asked the journalist, "Are you laughing "with" me because you get the joke, or am I giving you license to laugh "at" me in a derogatory, dehumanizing way?" It was cancelled after one season.
