The Untitled Action Bronson Show

The Untitled Action Bronson Show is an American late-night talk cum cooking show brought to you by Viceland. The show premiered in 2017 and is unique in its format as it effortlessly merges deep-dive interviews, live performances, and cooking into galleries of cultural conversation.

The show gets its name from the host Action Bronson, who is quite a colorful personality renowned as rapper, reality TV star, author, and chef who used to host another food show called "Fuck, That's Delicious!" on the same network. Bronson's identity is a crucial part of what gives the show its undeniable character. That's not surprising when you consider the host's fascinating background – a man of diverse talents who had a promising career as a gourmet chef before entirely switching gears to become a renowned rapper.

The show is unscripted, adding a spontaneous touch to the series. It follows a setup wherein Bronson invites guests from various walks of life. These guests include an engaging mix of famous chefs, musicians, actors, athletes, and even eccentric personalities like glassblowers and blacksmiths from across the globe.

In each episode, Bronson beautifully knits a cultural conversation with these guests over preparing a bit of food in a wholly-stocked kitchen. The magic lies in the unpredictable yet interesting mix of people who gather around a table for each episode and share food, stories, laughter, and even special skills or performances. While most late-night shows stick to standard interviews interspersed with skits or games, Bronson's show goes off-track—quite literally. His interactions with guests aren't formal interviews but rather laid-back chats over cooking and eating.

The kitchen, where most of the show happens, is not just a place to cook and eat, but it serves as a conversational hub where unfiltered, genuine conversations take place while a mouthwatering dish is getting prepared. Bronson cuts an enchanting figure as he casually flips steaks or stirs up a one-pot meal while chopping it up with the guests, who play active roles in the cooking process.

The food prepared on the show isn't fancy and doesn't require a special trip to the farmer’s market. Instead, it's the food you'd probably make at home or grab as part of a late-night run to a local convenience store. While Bronson may be in charge of the kitchen, it's clear he's an equal among the guests in terms of conversation, stories, and breaking bread. This setup brings an unpretentious vibe to the show, and it aptly reflects Bronson's wider appeal to the audience.

Besides food and conversation, the audience is also treated to periodic musical performances, with Bronson sometimes joining in, adding another fun dimension to the show. The performances, like everything else in the show, are stripped down, spontaneous, and incredibly engaging.

The Untitled Action Bronson Show is distinctive and entertaining, filled with unexpected sparks and interesting stories from Bronson, his guests, and even the crew members, who are not just bystanders but key contributors to the show’s atmosphere and dynamic. It’s unlike your traditional late-night talk shows, its uniqueness lies in its chilled vibe, unrehearsed conversation, and Bronson's charming eccentricity that forges an exciting, unpredictable, and lively show that viewers can connect to genuinely.

This show is definitely pioneering a new and fresh movement in late-night television configurations, focusing on casual, everyday conversations, camaraderie, and simple yet delicious meals, served with a side of culture and a dash of unscripted chaos. A must-watch for anyone interested in food, music, fascinating tales, offbeat comedy, and good vibes. The Untitled Action Bronson Show is an eccentric deviation from the norm that is equally hearty, delightful and, most importantly, respectfully genuine.
