Under secret wrap with not much news to dispense another comedian from over at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart finally comes to HBO. We’re talking about Wyatt Cenac. HBO said he was coming this spring and here he is. WYATT CENAC: PROBLEM AREAS, starring the Emmy and WGA Award-winning comedian and writer debuts FRIDAY, April 13 (11:30pm-12:00am). Rather than sit behind a desk, Cenac embarks on an ongoing journey in the ten-episode series to understand the big issues of the moment and investigate real-world solutions, while putting a focus on the conversation of change and telling stories of civic-minded approaches that deserve widespread attention. Here is a trailer:

The Emmy-winning weekly series returns for its sixth season FRIDAY, APRIL 06 (11:00-11:30pm), followed by other editions subsequent Fridays at the same time. In a special season premiere, Emmy-nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams takes a personal journey to expose the root of the American mass incarceration crisis: the juvenile justice system. Later in the season, George Polk Award winner Elle Reeve continues her coverage of the white supremacy movement in America, while Antonia Hylton reports on the gang violence devastating Chicago. Isobel Yeung gives audiences an unprecedented look inside the chaos and rebirth of societies across the Middle East, from Yemen and Libya to Iran and Iraq.

After years of covering front lines across the Middle East and Africa, Ben Anderson returns with stories of communities and ethnic groups who were displaced by violence and are now fighting for a home in contested lands from Afghanistan to the Central African Republic.
