WASHINGTON, DC (May 2, 2011) - The award-winning soap opera series, Anacostia may be on hiatus but the work doesn’t stop for Anthony Anderson, the award-winning actor, producer, and writer. Anderson, under his production company, Southeast Boy Productions, has just announced that he will be Executive Producing a new talk show for DCTV titled The Comfort Zone. When asked about his latest project, Anderson had this to say "I am incredibly pleased to bring this show to television, it is unlike any Talk Show on television today. The topics discussed are topics that will evoke debate and are relatable to everyone".

The Comfort Zone is slated to premiere summer 2011 on DCTV Cable Station, Comcast 95, Verizon Fios 10&11, and RCN 10 to a household viewership of over 300,000 homes. The Comfort Zone (formerly known as Guys At Brunch to their YouTube followers) will be hosted by Shawn Bradley, Nicholas Garnett and Brandon Boone. Topics slated for the first season include: “I’m A Porn Star” with Special Guest Tre Xavier, Polyamorous Relationships, Coming out Of the Closet and Spirituality vs. Sexuality.

Nicholas Garnett – A native of Baltimore Maryland, Nicholas is an idealistic activist on issues of equality in addition to being an outspoken advocate for Gay Rights.
