Comedy Central has found its successor.

Wilmore will host his own show called "The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore" following Stephen Colbert's leave in January.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Jon Stewart and Busboy Productions, and are looking forward to the world getting to know Larry Wilmore even better. He’s a spectacular talent in front of and behind the camera,” said Michele Ganeless, president of Comedy Central.

"'The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore’ follows in the Comedy Central tradition – bringing new perspectives to the day's events and breaking ground in the world of late night television.”

In last month's "Daily Show" report titled, "A Diverse Array of American Racism," Wilmore acutely addressed Cliven Bundy and Donald Sterling's racist statements, which broke "in one news cycle."

"Oh man, holy s---, Jon, what a week to be Senior Black Correspondent!" he exclaimed while opening a piece that went on to list the growing issues for blacks, including stop-and-frisk and diabetes.

"While Larry Wilmore is a brilliant comic and showrunner, this is all just a complicated ruse to get him to move to New York and turn him into a Knicks fan," he remarked.

"I'm beyond excited to have this chance to continue my relationships with Comedy Central and the brilliant Jon Stewart," countered Wilmore. "I love the city of New York and promise to only wear my Laker T-shirts when I'm layering.
