Funnyman Wyatt Cenac hosts this season of AfroPoP. Cenac is a hilarious correspondent and writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart where he filed his first field report on July 21, 2008, concerning Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama. He continues to integrate satirical Black-oriented material in his Daily Show segments, including skits like "Rapper or Republican". In October 2009, he worked with rapper Slim Thug on the music video "Still a Boss", a parody of how the recession is affecting the rap community. Cenac appeared in the lead role in the indie movie Medicine for Melancholy, a race-relations drama released in 2008.
