The NickMom TV block will launch with four original series spanning sketch comedy, talk, docu-series, and stand-up genres, which are outlined below.
• Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is a show that blends studio elements, interviews, video commentary, monologues, and panel discussions with hidden camera, mom on the street, and sketch comedy. Each episode explores a different element of parenting, all through the irreverent and funny eyes of author and comedienne Stefanie Wilder-Taylor.
• MFF: Mom Friends Forever is a docu-comedy series that goes inside the worlds of Judi Diamond and Kate Frisina-White—two mom best friends from St. Louis, Mo., who have a lot to say. Between juggling work, kids, and relationships, they also produce and star in a web show just for moms.
• NickMom Night Out is a stand-up comedy series. Featured hosts include Tisha Campbell-Martin (L.A. edition), Judy Gold (N.Y. edition), Caroline Rhea (Orlando edition), and Bonnie McFarlane (Chicago edition). The series spotlights the chaos and hilarity that comes with being a parent.
