Just caught this on HBO Max, it's a series and I'm really enjoying it. Michael is the star and writer and it's a sketch show. Anyone else seen it?

I saw the commercial for it when I was watching Black Lady Sketch Show and I told myself to remember to watch this. Of course I forgot all about it so thanks for the reminder, OP!

I watched the 4 available episodes. I think there will be more, leading up to his MSG performance which I'm guessing will be the finale of the limited series. I really liked this though, some skits were hilarious, all were chuckle-worthy, some were just good but I'd give it a 9/10. I like the interview format mixed in with the sketches. I really liked how he had a lot of old school actors like Ellen Cleghorne and Wil Sylvince. He didn't have the usual appearances by Issa Rae (whom I adore but I love seeing other people get a chance to be in something too, lmao). Still waiting on IMDB to update properly so I can look up all of the actors I saw that I recognized from years ago.

There was a joke in one of the sketches about his show being available on HBO "Max" and not reg HBO so I don't know how true that is. I would hope it would eventually go to reg HBO too!

I've watched all the available episodes too. I think he was funnier in this than on SNL (which might not say a lot to people who do not like SNL). He does use a lot of people from SNL and a lot of old school comedians too.

I found his Netflix special hilarious, I don’t like SNL so I was excited he got his own show so I could support. Overall I give it 7.5/10. I hope there are more episodes.

Some (damn near all) of the sketches felt too real. They were funny but like damn we really live this. I had to stop after the 2nd ep cuz I dated a guy like him and it was triggering af lol. Like y’all ninjas really ain’t sh!t.

I still find him attractive tho lol. Single with no kids? Right up my alley.

SNL is holding him back from anything controversial. If you know his comedy before SNL, he isnt one to hold back and point out the truth. I need to watch. Che was the best thing on SNL, last time Iooked.

I was watching it last night. And yes I'm black and still love SNL. I always watch for him. I like show, I even laughed out loud. I see the Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock inspiration within the show. I'm also just realizing how New York he is cause Weekend Update made him seem so stuffy and stuck up. Plus he so cute. Lol

I actually enjoyed it and thought he brought up good points about some aspects of Black American culture/stereotypes and other parts I think were just him and his experience

I was cracking up at the first episode with the racially profile violent cops...but he stated nothing but facts...no matter what that kid did hands up/reach for ID/don't be mean/you are too dark/the basketball is a gun/obey orders...they still are going to shoot you

Dealing with racism, wanting to be seen and heard, but even racial protests/civil rights become a brand and business for someone else's benefit

Michael Che was on point ... looking forward to season 2

Isn't he though

He is tall
Makes a nice little coin
I love a dark-skinned brother
He likes the sistas

I like seeing him branch out from SNL though

I agree! Is he dating anyone?
Not that he chooses to share but I do remember a pic was posted of him at a NY Knicks game but that was some time back

He stays out of the limelight and keeps his personal life on the low

I don't blame him

He says he's single.
He is single but he does date around...I think he will be a bachelor for a while then settle down with someone younger...

He was born in 1983 and so he will be 38 this year...I was born in 1984 Michael Che has been on my radar for some time now

This show is funny. And I love that he’s been utilizing underrated long-time comedians.

Episode four seems tailor made to LSA with its talk of blood sacrifices/Illuminati, everybody in hollywood supposedly doing gay stuff to get ahead, and Black people being liberal as long it’s things they approve of.

I was dying when the team captain on the basketball team talked about trans women

But its so true and his teammate showing the pic calling the brotha thick took me all the way out

He is!!!

I watch the Real Housewives of NYC and Leah (one of the cast members) tried to get at him when she tried to call him out for not wanting her because she was White he quickly dismissed her and told her he likes women

Michael really does lay low he has been around for years on the come up and you don't hear about baby mamas/child support/gay rumors/domestic violence...I mean nothing...he either just keeps his business low (and has a trusted circle) and/or he really is a chill ass guy

I just think he is a chill ass guy

I remember that too, it sounded like he just wasn't into her, white or not. She felt some type of way and came for him. So he was straight up with her and said 'we don't need to meet' and she got in her feelings. I respected that he didn't waist either one of their time. Plus she was annoying anyway. Lol

Agreed!!!!

Leah told that story so quickly and when we saw the real tea on it I am glad he didn't do what so many of these Hollywood Black men do and fall into the garbage trap

I can see Michael Che settling down with a sista with a good head on her shoulders, with her own social circle and career...but for all we know he may already be taken

Yeah I've heard him say he doesn't really care to be with a famous woman so he might be the type to just have a low-key girl like him. He has that New York thing with him hopefully he won't let Hollywood swallow him up.
