· Comedian, writer and actor Caleb Hearon ("So True with Caleb Hearon," HBO Max's "Sweethearts," "The Devil Wears Prada 2") makes his first hour-long HBO Original comedy special debut in CALEB HEARON: MODEL COMEDIAN, premiering FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT). The special will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

· Logline: In his debut stand-up special, filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at Constellation in Chicago, CALEB HEARON: MODEL COMEDIAN showcases Hearon's ability to unpack life's most absurd contradictions with his signature charm and razor-sharp wit.
