Tommy Davidson revisits his iconic 'Martin' character in 'The Varnell Hill Show,' coming exclusively to Paramount+ on Sept. 1. Nearly three decades after audiences first met him, Varnell Hill is stepping back into the spotlight, he's determined to prove he's still the star of the show. Set behind the scenes of a long-running late-night talk show, 'The Varnell Hill Show' follows Varnell (Davidson) as he fights to stay relevant in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape. Between network executives eager to modernize the show, a chaotic writers' room, celebrity guests, family drama and his own outsized ego, Varnell quickly discovers that keeping a television empire together may be harder than building one in the first place. The eight-episode comedy series stars Davidson alongside Kym Whitley, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Nick Cafero, Emmanuel Hudson and Chris Williams, with special appearances by Martin Lawrence and renowned guest stars including Ms. Pat, Deon Cole, Damon Wayans, Mike Epps, Omarion and many more.
