FACE VALUE **NEW**From Push It
Productions and Executive Producer Wanda Sykes, “FACE VALUE”
is an edgy new 30-minute game show that will finally answer the
age-old question, “Can you judge a book by its cover?” Hosted by
Deon Cole (“black-ish,” Barbershop) with outrageous
woman-on-the-street segments from Tiffany Haddish (Girls
Trip, “Carmichael Show”), this series is flipping the script to
award cash and prizes for correctly guessing facts about strangers
from all walks of life - based solely on their appearance and a few
personal details. “FACE VALUE” will humorously break down
stereotypes, expose prejudices, and celebrate the human spirit by
highlighting the commonalities and differences among people of
various backgrounds, races, religions, beliefs and life
experiences. Push It Productions' Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz
serve as Executive Producers along with Lance Crouther.
10:30 PM ET/PT
50 CENTRAL **NEW**Award-winning
rapper, entrepreneur, actor and producer, the iconic Curtis “50

Along with unprecedented sketches, the 30-minute show will feature
hidden camera pranks, musical performances, and A-list celebrity
guests to create the ultimate late night party – all handpicked and
hosted by 50 Cent. Few artists have had as much crossover success
as Jackson and he showcases his talents as an MC, actor and
producer for a fresh take on the variety series. “50 CENTRAL” is
produced by G-Unit Film & Television in partnership with Back
Roads Entertainment with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Stephen J.
Savva, Colby Gaines and Riley Robbins serving as Executive

TALES **RETURNING**Executive
Producer Irv “Gotti” Lorenzo returns with brand new episodes of
“TALES” - a one-hour scripted anthology series of “song stories”
weaving classic hip-hop songs into visually stunning 3-act
narratives. Far beyond the music video or the live event, each
song’s lyrics are imagined as cinematic adventures with a different
director, screenwriter and celebrity cast per song story. Upcoming
songs include Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”, Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen”,
“Children’s Story” by Slick Rick, and “You’re All I Need” by Method
Man and Mary J. Blige. Featured talent will include Lance

THE COMEDY GET DOWN **NEW**“THE
COMEDY GET DOWN” is the first scripted
comedy series about what really happens behind the scenes of a
massive stand-up comedy tour featuring five legendary comics –
George Lopez, DL Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin
and Charlie Murphy. They’re hilarious, insane and unapologetic
on stage, but the second they step off is when the real show
begins. The storylines are based on actual events that have taken
place not only on their wildly successful Comedy Get Down arena
tour, but throughout the 25 plus years each has been a nationally
headlining comedian. A workplace comedy at its core, the 30-minute,
single-camera series explores the personal and professional
relationships of these five comic titans as they navigate the
challenges of life on the road: seedy venues, racist road managers,
pushy wives, angry baby mamas, obsessive fans, demanding
celebrities, shady politicians and more. Free 90 Media's Tom
Brunelle and Brad Wollack serve as Executive Producers along with 3
Arts' Michael Rotenberg, Greg Walter and Kimberly Carver. Eric C.
Rhone from A Bird and A Bear Entertainment also serves as an
Executive Producer.
