Michelle Buteau's 'Late Night Whenever' Joins WNYC Studios Podcast Lineup

Buteau

Comedian MICHELLE BUTEAU will host a new comedy podcast, "LATE NIGHT WHENEVER," for WNYC STUDIOS. The show, a parody of late night TV including guests, music, and stand-up comedy, will be taped before a live audience in NEW YORK with "one man band" ROB LEWIS as the house band. Tapings begin MARCH 13th at WNYC's JEROME L. GREENE PERFORMANCE SPACE, with episodes posting beginning APRIL 3rd.

“Is it weird that I'm more excited about this podcast then I was planning my wedding?!?” asked BUTEAU. “Between my years of stand-up, hosting, and acting I simply cannot wait to use the tips, tricks, and tools I've learned along the way to host my very own show! The hustle is real, y’all -- and we know there could and should be more women hosting late night, which is why I simply heart WNYC STUDIOS for giving me and my freckled face the opportunity to deliver my version of a late night show straight to your cute little earbuds. It's the same kind of joy like when you try on your clothes in the morning and they actually fit. In LATE NIGHT WHENEVER, I'll welcome celebrity guests, comedian friends, and always have my homey, my Black DR. PHIL, my professional friend and music director ROB LEWIS, by my side. Not to mention my audience members who will serve a huge part in the show as my walking YELP review for life! Oh, we're about to get très très interactive, in the good way. I mean, is there a bad way?”

“The first time I saw MICHELLE perform at a 2 DOPE QUEENS show, I nearly fell on the floor laughing,” said WNYC STUDIOS VP of On-Demand Content PAULA SZUCHMAN. “I knew we needed to work with her, and I’m so excited it’s happening. MICHELLE is one of the few performers I’ve seen who can bring the audience into an on-stage conversation so seamlessly, and who can get guests to reveal new sides of themselves. She’s like a therapist, but funny and with no degree in therapy. LATE NIGHT WHENEVER is the perfect vehicle for her and a truly original podcast.”
