New York, NY - July 19, 2016 - AMC announced today an extensive multi-year deal with comedian Chris Hardwick, which will see him host and executive produce multiple programs for the network over the next three years. Hardwick will be a part of not only new shows, but will also continue as host of current and new "Talking" live after shows, including "Talking Dead," the #1 talk show on television among adults 18-49, "Talking Dead: Fear Edition," "Talking Saul" and "Talking Preacher."

We are thrilled to be able to expand our relationship with him in this way."

"When we started 'Talking Dead' in 2011 I had no idea it would become one of the most significant experiences of my life," said Hardwick. "As a fan, having this kind of front row seat to some of the biggest pillars of pop culture has been a dream come true. Thank you to AMC for allowing me to continue to show up for appointment TV therapy with the legions of other fans for the foreseeable future!"
