Sam Jay is following up her first hourlong comedy special, “3 in the Morning,” with her own late-night HBO series. A press release announced Jay will host and executive produce the untitled weekly half-hour comedy. HBO has given the project a series order and it’s expected to premiere next year.

The show will see Jay tackling “the top trending topics in urban and world culture for the week – including race, politics, sexual identity, science, celebrity, religion, and more,” per the source. She’ll unpack these subjects “from her unique and subversive point of view.”

“Insecure” showrunner Prentice Penny will also exec produce.

“I’m really excited to bring my point of view to late-night television and have felt nothing but support creatively from HBO and [Penny’ company] A Penny For Your Thoughts,” Jay said. “So everyone wear your mask and vote so I can make my TV show!”

Penny added, “I’m so excited to create this project with Sam as I think she’s one of the best comic minds today. When I first started thinking about this idea, I knew I wanted to create it with someone who was smart, funny, irreverent, and boundary-pushing. Someone who would elevate it to a place that not only challenges the culture, but challenges all of us to think different and be better. Sam is undoubtedly that person. It’s going to be a fun ride.”

Jay has been a writer on “Saturday Night Live” since 2017, for which she has nabbed two Emmy nods. She’s also written for the Emmys, the MTV Movie & TV Awards, and the BET Awards. She has appeared on-screen in projects including “The Comedy Lineup,” “Take My Wife,” and “Broad City.”
