Wilmore received praise from critics for carving out a \u201cuniquely powerful space\u201d and providing \u201ccomplex, destabilizing commentary on racial issues that were otherwise lacking in late-night\u201d (Slate, 8\/16). The Daily Beast added that Wilmore\u2019s show was \u201cexhilarating\u201d and a \u201cnecessary voice in late-night\u201d (8\/16). Off-screen, Wilmore serves as co-creator and consulting producer on HBO\u2019s Insecure, a half-hour comedy series starring Issa Rae that details the awkward experiences and racy tribulations of a modern-day African-American woman. Wilmore also helped to launch ABC\u2019s black-ish as an executive producer and is a co-creator of the spin-off Grownish. Previously, Wilmore made memorable appearances as the \u201cSenior Black Correspondent\u201d on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and hosted his own Showtime \u201ctown hall\u201d-style comedy specials, Larry Wilmore\u2019s Race, Religion & Sex. He has written for In Living Color, The PJ\u2019s (which he co-created), The Office (on which he has appeared as Mr. Brown, the diversity consultant), and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
