*Def Comedy Jam is officially back on television, this time exclusively on REVOLT, the youth culture multimedia platform.
Per the news release, the iconic series, which transformed stand-up comedy and launched the careers of some of the genre’s biggest names, will air weeknights at 11 PM ET, bringing its legendary performances to a new generation.
The show introduced audiences to comedians who became cultural pillars, including Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Kevin Hart. Def Comedy Jam offered a platform for uncensored comedy that reflected real life, real language, and real audiences, establishing itself as both entertainment and a cultural touchstone. REVOLT is now reviving that legacy.
“Def Comedy Jam opened the door for so many of us, and forever changed the landscape of the genre. It gave Black comedians the space to tell our stories and jokes exactly the way we wanted,” said Cedric The Entertainer. “Seeing the show come back to life on REVOLT proves that the foundation we built is still inspiring audiences today.”
