The Chris Rock-backed 'Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell' premieres tonight on FX

(August 9, 2012) Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell will premiere tonight, August 9 at 11 pm EST, on the FX cable channel. The six installments of the weekly late-night series are executive produced by Chris Rock, Chuck Sklar and Bell. The show is coming to air after Rock and Bell first met in New York in 2010, and completed a pilot last November.

Totally Biased will dissect a multitude of topics including politics, pop culture, race, religion, and the media. The series will feature his commentary along with features from other contributors and sketch comedy.

W. Kamau Bell is one of the country's fastest rising socio-political comics. A founding member of the stand-up comedy collective Laughter Against the Machine, he is also co-host of The Field Negro Guide to Arts & Culture podcast with Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid. Praised by Punchline Magazine as "one of our nation's most adept racial commentators with a blistering wit," Kamau is best known for his critically acclaimed solo show "The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour", which was a Time Out NY critic's pick in the 2010 NY Comedy Festival and a comedy pick in The Guardian during his 2011 run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
