Comedy Central's The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn & Open Mike Eagle gets an April 19 premiere date

Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle’s hybrid stand-up/music live show is finally set to premiere two years after it was first announced. “Our series gets its title and its mission from a book named The New Negro by Alain Locke," the co-hosts says of their eight-episode series. "That book was a collection of essays, poetry, fiction, and music from a generation of emerging artists credited with launching the Harlem Renaissance."
