Acclaimed comedian and writer, Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show with John Stewart), hosts a topical docu-series examining hot-button issues in Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas, available for Digital Download on July 16th. Marking the latest addition to HBO®'s impressive late night slate, including REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the series is penned as "... a necessary addition to late night" (AV Club).

"...funny and well-written," (NPR) WYATT CENAC'S PROBLEM AREAS is executive produced by Wyatt Cenac, Ezra Edelman (director of the Oscar®-winning O.J.: Made in America), John Oliver (HBO's Emmy®-winning Last Week Tonight with John Oliver), Hallie Haglund (Emmy® winner for The Daily Show), Tim Greenberg, David Martin, James Taylor, and Jon Thoday.
