A host on radio program The Breakfast Club, McKelvey has been a frequent guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert of course hosted The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, the series ending in 2014.

Tha God’s Honest Truth offers “Charlamagne's culturally fluent take on social issues in a variety of deep dives, sketches and social experiments that deftly unpacks the most pressing topics permeating politics and culture,” summarizes Comedy Central. “Redemptively comedic, refreshingly unfiltered and unapologetically Black, nothing is off limits.”
