Comedy Central, which hasn’t launched a successful late-night show since The Colbert Report ended seven years ago, is enlisting Stephen Colbert himself to assist with its latest entry in the space.

The network has tapped Charlamagne Tha God—born Lenard McKelvey—to host a new weekly late-night series, Tha God’s Honest Truth With Lenard ‘Charlamagne’ McKelvey. Colbert and Charlamagne, both South Carolina natives, will create and executive produce the half-hour show, which will debut Friday, Sept. 17 at 10 p.m.
