AMC and Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick have partnered for yet another pop culture talk show. Titled Talking with Chris Hardwick, the interview series will debut April 9 at 11pm on AMC.
The hour-long show will see Hardwick branching out from the world of The Walking Dead by interviewing a single pop culture figure or show/movie cast each episode. The series will only air during The Walking Dead's off season, allowing him to remain the host of its popular after-show.
Hardwick on AMC's Talking Dead
"Chris Hardwick is just the ultimate fan guide, advocate and conversationalist," said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. "He took our desire to serve the fans of The Walking Dead with an hour of discussion and analysis following each new episode and turned it into the #1 talk show on television, and a model that has been widely emulated but never quite duplicated, because Chris is the key."
Hardwick also chimed in on the announcement, saying: "Talking will have the skin of Talking Dead, the soul of the Nerdist podcast and the guts of a Comic Con panel. I have loved learning how to do a talk show these last six years on Talking Dead, but am eager to expand the format into other areas of pop culture."
For now, Hardwick can be seen on Talking Dead, which airs Sunday nights on AMC at 10/9c.
