Nov. 10--Chicago comedian Hannibal Buress said he probably won't do a second season of his Comedy Central show "Why? with Hannibal Buress," which premiered in July.
"If I had to guess, I probably wouldn't be doing that again. I'm looking at some other TV opportunities right now," Buress, 32, told the New York Post in an article posted online last week. "It was definitely some good moments; it definitely got better as the season flowed along; it got more comfortable. It wasn't the ideal format for me. I don't think I'll be doing it again."
Buress, who grew up on the West Side, is scheduled to perform at the New York Comedy Festival on Friday. A stand-up appearance last year in Philadelphia generated headlines after Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist. More than 50 women have publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault in the last year.
Buress told the Post that he doesn't really plan to keep talking about Cosby.
"I talk about the reaction to it, that's pretty much it, more than the joke itself. I talk about things people say to me about it," Buress said.
