BET Networks announced a new programming line-up that includes The Mo’Nique Show, a nightly talk/variety show featuring comedian-actress Mo’Nique, scheduled to premiere in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The network will take a new direction in comedy with the series A Time to Laugh, hosted by gospel singer Vickie Winans. The show will present the best comedians in gospel stand-up with dynamic dancers, musical artists, and fast-paced Bible story improv from a fresh urban contemporary and perspective. A Time to Laugh is scheduled to premiere early 2010.
