Michael Che just scored himself a leading role: HBO Max has handed a six-episode order to an untitled sketch comedy series starring the Saturday Night Live vet, TVLine has learned.
Each episode of the project will center on a theme or incident — such as police brutality, unemployment or falling in love — and will use sketches and vignettes to illustrate those experiences from a Black perspective. “It’s less about being ‘right’ and more about being honest, even at the risk of being controversial,” the logline reads.

Saturday Night Live star Michael Che is getting his own sketch show on HBO Max.
The streaming service has ordered a six-part untitled series from the comedian, Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video and Universal Television.
Each episode of the show will follow a theme or incident, such as police brutality, unemployment and romance and use sketches and vignettes to illustrate what it feels like to experience this from a Black vantage point.
The streamer said the show was less about being “right” and more about being honest, even at the risk of being controversial.
Untitled Michael Che Project will be exec produced by Che, Lorne Michaels, and Erin Doyle.
Given it’s produced by SNL’s Michaels, there’s no suggestion that Che is leaving the NBC late-night comedy, but it is somewhat surprising that the show is being made for WarnerMedia’s HBO Max rather than NBCUniversal’s own streaming service Peacock,...
