night train with wyatt cenac

the show ran for two seasons on the streaming service seeso and when that went away, the content was sold to starz and then it disappeared… until now?

the streaming show was an attempt to capture the energy of the weekly show that i hosted in brooklyn for five years at a venue called littlefield, where each week, the show’s producer marianne ways would curate a diverse showcase of performers in the hopes that we could create a space where both onstage and in the audience people felt seen and represented.

donwill would dj and hangout onstage, like a one man house band. we tried to create a kind of ramshackle budget late night show, where guests and performers included janelle james, questlove, violet gray, michelle wolf, matteo lane, sasheer zamata, brooks wheelan, eugene mirman, jon benjamin, joel kim booster, black thought, jean grae, john hodgman, marcella arguello and many more.

enjoy. until whatever media conglomerate decides to shut it down for licensing issues.
