Wild ‘N Out is back for a new season and it’s about to be the biggest one yet.
After being on the air for 20 seasons — coincidentally the same year hip-hop is celebrating 50 years — the iconic sketch comedy series is going back to what people know and love them for.
From the return of the iconic logo and Red Squad vs. Black Square to Day 1 games and iconic set pieces (we see you, London phone booth), season 20 of Wild ‘N Out is one that cannot be missed.
“It’s such a blessing to be on for 20 seasons,” Justina Valentine tells Celeb Secrets host Juliet Schroder exclusively in a virtual interview. “You think about how many shows actually make it that far and it’s not that many, so this is a legendary season for us.”

In addition to familiar concepts, fans will also see a ton of familiar faces each episode, as Wild ‘N Out OG’s like Katt Williams, Kevin Hart, Affion Crockett, and DeRay Davis, along with more returning favorites, will all be dusting off their Wild ‘N Out comedic gloves to once again go head-to-head, battling it out for a special GOLD Wild ‘N Out Comedy Championship belt.
“I feel like the people that Nick [Cannon] brought back were total legends, and that was my favorite part of coming back for another season,” Pretty Vee says. “Just seeing the cast… we’ve all been in this COVID world, so for us to be around regular folks without a mask on, where we could hug one another has been just a blessing.”
“I think the people and just the castmates, that’s what I look forward to every time I walk in the building. Who’s gonna be there? Who do I have to get my number to? And, uh, what’s up with the cast mates?” she concluded.
