Check out what happened when HANNIBAL Buress auditioned to replace Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show," even though he knew a black guy would never get the job. WHY? WITH HANNIBAL BURESS premieres on July 8 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT after an all-new episode of "Key & Peele."

Executive produced by Buress, Jeff Stilson ("The Chris Rock Show" and "Da Ali G Show") and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment, "Why? With HANNIBAL Buress," celebrates Buress' hilariously brilliant off-beat voice and point-of-view. If it's in the zeitgeist, Buress will address it, providing his unique perspective on each week's topic, answering the burning questions on his mind through stand-up, filmed segments, man-on-the-street interviews and special, in-studio guests. "Why? With HANNIBAL Buress" will be a weekly, half-hour series shot in front of a studio audience and each episode will tape the same week it airs.

A wildly popular Emmy® and WGA Award-nominated comedian, writer and actor, Buress has been praised by The New York Times as having an "irresistible" comedic presence that lands squarely between "cerebral and swagger." He is a series regular on the hit Comedy Central series "Broad City" (watch clip) and is the co-host of Adult Swim's "The Eric Andre Show," currently in its third season.

Buress also appeared in the 2014 blockbuster feature "Neighbors," starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, and he just shot the film "Daddy's Home" alongside Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. He will also be one of the featured "Roasters" on the "Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber" on March 30.
