Today, Comedy Central announced Josh Johnson's debut one-hour stand-up special, presented by Trevor Noah. In the special, comedian and THE DAILY SHOW writer discusses the pandemic's effects on interpersonal relationships, the three things women can expect from their partners, and whether or not his friend's bird is a racist. Trevor Noah Presents Josh Johnson: # (Hashtag) will debut Friday, June 18th at 11:00 PM ET/PT on Comedy Central. The special will be available on Paramount+ in August.
Josh Johnson is a stand-up, writer, and performer from Louisiana by way of Chicago. He is currently a writer on
