W. Kamau Bell on Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Wayne Brady and David Letterman: Comedian Slams Late Night Television in New Essay – Believes It’s Time For A Black Host

If you ever caught Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on FX while it was on the air, then you're well aware that the comedian has his views. Lately, it appears he isn't too thrilled with the way late night television is going.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that the comic recently expressed his extreme annoyance about the "lack of diversity" on late night television.

"Every time a late-night job becomes available, people on social media and websites like this one get to play Fantasy TV Exec!" the comedian wrote on BuzzFeed in an essay titled The Unbearable Whiteness of Late Night.

The piece continues, "And we toss around overqualified, non-white guy candidates like Aisha Tyler, Maya Rudolph, Wayne Brady, Tina Fey, Margaret Cho, Ellen Degeneres and Chris Rock. Occasionally, I even get thrown into the mix. And for a little while it is exciting to think of the possibility of these shows... until we actually hear the announcement."

While Bell notes that he is not criticizing the ones who get the jobs, because he appears rather psyched to see The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he claims, "But you can't tell me that Wayne Brady wouldn't do as good a job as Jimmy Fallon."

Bell ended the essay with a plea for variety, touching on Netflix and other platforms where diversity appears to be reigning.

"Late-night TV is big business and wants the biggest audience possible. And the people who run it believe they have evidence the biggest audience comes with a white guy."

So, do you agree?
