CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
Charlamagne hosts “The World’s Most Dangerous Morning Show” alongside DJ Envy and Angela Yee, and it is widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining top-rated Hip Hop morning show today.
Each morning between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m., fans of The Breakfast Club tune in to hear the trio’s unrivaled interviews and conversations with celebrities and hip-hop artists, entertainment news, fresh music mixes, along with their signature blend of honesty and humor. Weekends with the Breakfast Club features the 20 hottest songs on the charts, in addition to DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne’s signature interviews with megastars and hip-hop icons.
In April 2017, he shared his unlikely success story in his first book: Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. Black Privilege features Charlamagne’s comic, often controversial, and always brutally honest insights on how living an authentic life is the quickest path to success. The New York Times Best-selling author released his second book in October 2018, Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me. In November 2020, he announced the launch of Black Privilege Publishing, his new partnership imprint from Atria Books at Simon & Schuster that aligns with his mission to bring crucial, culturally-relevant content to the marketplace from emerging and renowned Black voices around the world.
Charlamagne’s production company, CTHAGOD World Productions, discovers and advocates for original, emerging talent who resonate with popular culture long before they become mainstream. His half-hour talk show Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God, for Comedy Central, takes on issues and topics permeating politics and culture in this late-night talk variety show, which lists Stephen Colbert among its executive producers.
As a keynote speaker and humanitarian, Charlamagne presented a $250,000 scholarship award to the South Carolina State University Alumni Association for student scholarships that will provide funds for African-American women who major in English or communications. The university conferred an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters upon Charlamagne at its Spring Commencement ceremony in May 2021.
Charlamagne may be widely and worldly acclaimed these days, but the family man is still a southern and hospitable charmer from a small town in South Carolina. And so long as he is breathing, he will never forget where is from, and that he beat the odds to become: Charlamagne Tha God.
