The special titled Colin Jost & Michael Che Present: New York After Dark is set to stream on Thursday, Sept. 12, from The Bell House in Brooklyn.
It will feature the duo’s “favorite NYC club comics, fresh faces, and maybe even some names you already know and love,” Peacock said in a press release.
Grammy-nominated musical ensemble 1500 or Nothin’ will serve as the house band.

The comedian coined the term FUNT (America’s Fun Aunt) on SNL to describe Harris.
Rudolph first became a member of the NBC sketch comedy series in 2000. She has also appeared in film roles including Sisters, Life of the Party, and Disenchanted, and had voice roles in the animated films including Big Hero 6, The Angry Birds Movie and Luca.
