This musical variety sketch show hosted by Sherman McDaniels (Bashir Salahuddin) is returning for its second season with a Black History Month Spectacular — and McDaniels does not care that it’s June.

“Sherman’s Showcase host Sherman McDaniels has dreamed of doing a Black History Month episode for decades,” said creators and stars Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle. “Thanks to IFC and AMC, he’s finally got the chance. Granted, Black History Month was in February. But Sherman said ‘No, trust me, let’s hold off until the world undergoes some fundamental change that forces everyone to stay at home and watch the Showcase.’ And Sherman got his wish. He’d also like to ask Tiger King’s Carole Baskin to stop using his signature phrase ‘cats and kittens,’ which he’s been using on the Showcase since 1973.”

Sherman’s Showcase is a series that uses a fictional musical variety show a la Soul Train</i< or American Bandstand to take viewers through time via music and comedy. It stars Salahuddin as the host and includes a plethora of guest-stars like Phonte Coleman, John Legend, Jemele Hill, Lil Rel Howery, Terrence J, Vic Mensa, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Tariq ‘Black Thought’ Trotter, Tyrin Turner, Mario Van Peebles, Bresha Webb, Michael Ealy, Questlove, and more.
