TBS Debuts “Friday Night Vibes(TM),” Hosted by Actress and Comedian, Tiffany Haddish

TBS announced the debut of “Friday Night Vibes(TM),” a 52-week movie destination that spotlights feel-good comedies, action-packed blockbusters, and culturally significant storytelling inclusive of diverse voices. Hosted by actress and comedian, Tiffany Haddish (“The Last O.G.,” “Girls Trip“) and featuring surprise special guests each week, viewers can get the weekend started right with TBS. “Friday Night Vibes” will be ground zero for those who love movies, the culture, music, and hanging out at the beauty salon and barbershop. With a mix of comedy, celebrity interviews, and musical performances, Haddish, along with a resident DJ, will guide viewers through this celebration of life, cultural diversity, special behind-the-scenes moments, and authentic conversation. Kicking off on Friday, June 18 @ 7:30PM ET/PT, grab some popcorn, pour a glass of something special, and unwind for a double-feature movie night. This is the party that no one wants to miss.

Haddish commented: “Let’s watch movies and have some fun!”

“It’s been a goal of mine to bring Tiffany back to TBS since we worked together on ‘The Last O.G.,'” said Brett Weitz, General Manager for TBS, TNT, and truTV. “She’s an incredible talent and gifted producer, and we feel ‘Friday Night Vibes‘ is the perfect environment to blend her unique take on comedy and culture. Tiffany’s voice and vision at the helm of this weekly series gives it power, strength, and a significance that we are very proud of.”

Added Corie Henson, EVP/Head of Unscripted Development, TBS, TNT, and truTV: “Mark your social calendar for the best Friday night party with music, movies, great guests, and good vibes. Tiffany is the party. She is the hostess with the mostest! We’ll see you here this summer.”

“This show combines two things I love – movies and Tiffany Haddish,” said Reginald Hudlin, Executive Producer of “Friday Night Vibes“. “I’ve wanted to work with Tiffany again since we did ‘The Last O.G.’ together, and ‘Friday Night Vibes‘ is a place where we can celebrate great movies, play great music and hang out with funny and insightful guests. It’s the best way to spend your Friday night.”

“It’s going to be so much fun throwing a weekly Primetime party with Tiffany and some great movies,” said Phil Gurin, President, The Gurin Company, and Executive Producer of “Friday Night Vibes“. “You never know who’s going to stop by, you never know what’s going to happen, but you absolutely know that Fridays with Tiffany and her friends are going to be a blast. Can’t wait to get it rolling.”

The weekly lineup will include thoughtfully selected movies that are filled with storylines and characters viewers love and vibe with. At launch, TBS will also air feature films celebrating Black excellence to commemorate Juneteenth along with classics for Father’s Day, and other films that lean into annual celebrations throughout the year. “Friday Night Vibes” marks its premiere with the broadcast of “Creed” starting @ 7:30PM ET/PT followed by “Creed 2”.
