New talk shows often take awhile to gel, but in Larry Wilmore’s first week hosting “The Nightly Show” on Comedy Central, he seems to have found an early groove.

“The Daily Show’s” former “senior black correspondent” hilariously took on such topics as the “state of the black protest,” Bill Cosby, President Obama and US-Cuba relations in his first four shows while introducing effective segments like “Keep It 100.”

Here are our votes for Wilmore’s top five bits in his debut week.

Al Sharpton is black Batman



In the premiere episode, Wilmore opened the show by talking about the Academy Awards snubbing the director of “Selma,” and its star, in its latest Oscar nominations —and the resulting scandal that has erupted over the whiteness of this year’s field. He also rolls a clip that says Al Sharpton is looking to gather leaders in Hollywood to discuss possible action against the Academy Awards for the snubs.

“Sharpton? Again?!” Wilmore asks incredulously. “Al, slow down man. You don’t have to respond to every black emergency. You’re not black Batman.”

“You’re literally stretching yourself thin,” he continues. “ Al, you need to eat food, not just airtime.”

Cory Booker doesn’t ‘Keep It 100’

Also in his first night, Wilmore introduced the recurring segment “Keep It 100,” where panelists have to answer questions by “keeping it 100 percent real.”

With New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker as a panelist, Wilmore asks the ambitious congressman whether he wants to be president. When Booker responds “No” — to boos from the audience — the host hands him a tea bag, the sign of not “keeping it 100.”

When Booker tries to spin his answer, Wilmore responds by saying “You get all the weak tea,” and proceeds to throw several tea bags at the senator.

“Yes, the answer is yes!” he shouts, calling him out.

Bill Cosby is guilty

While many celebrities have danced around the issue of Bill Cosby’s guilt or innocence in the allegations that he sexually assaulted dozens of women, Wilmore makes his opinion perfectly clear at the top of Tuesday’s show.

“Tonight, we’re talking Cosby. We’ll answer the question: Did he do it? The answer will be yes,” he says unequivocally. “There’s a statute of limitations on the charges, but there’s no statute of limitations on my opinion, and I’m telling you that motherf - - ker did it.”

Later in the all-Cosby episode, Wilmore acknowledges that perhaps he’s been unfair by rushing to judge the beleaguered comedian.

“Let’s consider for a second if Cosby didn’t do it,” he says, then literally displays a countdown clock for one second. “OK, we’re done.”

Obama is kind of an a–hole

Wednesday’s episode took on the State of the Union address, or more specifically, the state of President Obama six years into his term. When asking panelists to reflect on the perception of Obama in the “Keep It 100” segment, Wilmore gets distinguished New Yorker editor David Remnick to admit something less-than-flattering about the president.

“In all your interviews with Obama, did you ever have a moment where you thought, ‘This guy’s an a - - hole?’ ” Wilmore asks Remnick.

When Remnick, laughing, holds up his fingers to signal “a little bit,” he’s rewarded with a “Keep It 100” sticker for his honesty.

“When he told me about ISIS, that just because you have a Lakers jersey doesn’t mean you’re Kobe Bryant, I wouldn’t say that was an a - - hole moment, but it was disingenuous at the highest degree,” Remnick says.

“I love that you told me the moment that he was an a - - hole,” Wilmore replies, rewarding him with another sticker.

Cuba could use a Double Down



The US normalizing relations with Cuba was the topic of Thursday’s episode, and it turns out Wilmore doesn’t know much about what it’s like to live in Cuba these days — and is hilariously shocked when he finds out families are rationed to one chicken a month.

“One chicken a month?! Man that’s horrible. Here we use chicken as bread,” he says, while hungrily looking at a graphic of KFC’s Double Down sandwich. “We are such a - - holes.”
