HBO Original Comedy Special “Caleb Hearon: Model Comedian” Debuts September 19 [VIDEO]

Comedian, writer, and actor Caleb Hearon (“So True with Caleb Hearon,” HBO Max’s “Sweethearts,” “The Devil Wears Prada 2“) makes his first hour-long HBO Original comedy special debut in CALEB HEARON: MODEL COMEDIAN, premiering Friday, September 19 (9:00-10:00PM ET/PT). The special will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

In his debut stand-up special, filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at Constellation in Chicago, CALEB HEARON: MODEL COMEDIAN showcases Hearon’s ability to unpack life’s most absurd contradictions with his signature charm and razor-sharp wit. Taking us back to his roots in Kansas City… where it all started, newly 30-year-old Hearon deploys his generational Midwestern wisdom to solve most of the world’s problems – politics, internet trolls, learning we’re not that different from our parents, and more.
