Karamo (talk show)

Karamo is filmed at the Rich Forum in Stamford, Connecticut, which is alternatively known as the Stamford Media Center.^[2] The program is generally a successor to Maury, on which Brown was a frequent guest host^[3] and whose production team moved over to Karamo.^[4] The program had achieved 90 percent national clearance by April 2022 with Los Angeles being the notable market not airing in.^[3] Though it films in the same studio as The Jerry Springer Show, Brown has stated that he seeks more resolutions to conflicts than Springer or Maury Povich did, telling Los Angeles magazine that there would be "no baby mama stuff",^[5] and compared his take on the daytime talk genre to the 2018 reboot of Queer Eye, on which he features.^[2] He also has cited his experience in social services as part of the background he brings to the show.^[6] A feature in The Washington Post noted that the new daytime talk shows for the 2022–23 season—Karamo, Sherri, and The Jennifer Hudson Show—all represented a return to a pre-tabloid, pre-Springer community focus and tone.^[7]

In March 2023, NBCUniversal renewed the program for a second season; the program was cleared in 85 percent of the United States at that time.^[8] A third season was announced in March 2024.^[9] In May 2025, the show was renewed for a fourth season.^[10]

On March 13, 2026, NBCUniversal announced that it would exit the first-run syndication business and cease production of its remaining programs, including Karamo, resulting in the show being cancelled after four seasons. All remaining episodes of the show have been produced; new episodes will continue to air until September 2026.^[11]

The show served as a replacement for Maury.^[14] With its premiere, the show received coverage in 90% of the country.^[14]
