Niecy Nash secures late-night talk show pilot at TNT
An already amazing year for Niecy Nash gets even better as TNT orders a late-night talk show pilot from the Claws actress.
2018 has been full of wins for Niecy Nash. Within the past few months she’s wrapped a successful second season of her hit dramedy Claws, had her star added to the Walk of Fame, and now she’s secured a late-night talk show at TNT. Claws has already been renewed for a 3rd season as well so we will be seeing more of Niecy on TNT next year.
Aside from hosting the show, Naked With Niecy Nash, Nash will also executive produce. Sue Murphy, who was the executive producer on Chelsea Handler’s two late-night shows, will also be an executive producer on Naked so there is no doubt that TNT means to see this show make it to series.
What will the show be about?

On Naked Niecy will be giving everyday people advice on the topics of love, sex, romance, and relationships. You can expect her amazing sense of humor and improvisation to shine through as well.
Despite the title, everyone on the show will be fully clothed so there are no FCC concerns there. The EVP of Original Programming at TNT, Sarah Aubrey mentioned in her statement that the combination of Nash’s humor, honesty, and thoughtfulness made her book “It’s Hard to Fight Naked” a best seller. She expects the show to have a playful tone but there is no doubt that Niecy is passionate about the subject matter.
During an interview with Hidden Remote earlier this summer, Nash talked about the responsibility she had as a married woman with regard to how intimate scenes on her show were executed. Niecy’s ability to be serious and joke at the same time will be what makes a show like Naked but fun and informative. This would be TNT’s first late night show and they couldn’t have chosen a better first host. Niecy’s personality is infectious and her sincerity is apparent.
We’ll stay on the lookout regarding any news of the show being picked up. In the meantime, you can enjoy Claws on TNT.com and via the Watch TNT app. Season 3 will air next summer.
