 P. Diddy has teamed up with cable giant HBO to launch a new late-night series called "P. Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy."
Set to start June 10, the nine-episode series, will air Fridays at 11 p.m., and will showcase up-and-coming comedians.
Confirmed comics will include Howie Bell, Rayzor, Malik, Mike Brooks, Big Jay and Darius Bradford.
"These are some of the funniest, most revolutionary, untapped talents to come on the scene since the days of Richard Pryor," Diddy said.
Shows will be shot before a live audience at the popular Brooklyn Academy of Music in Fort Green, Brooklyn.
Diddy will make an appearance in each half-hour episode, which will be hosted by rapper-comic Doug E. Fresh, and feature DJ Mr. C on the wheels of steel.
Following "Bad Boys" at 11:30 p.m will be new episodes of "Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry."
