Michael B. Jordan And Steelo Brim Might Be Forced To Use Their SafeWord

Prominent friendships still aren't safe.


SafeWord -- the hit comedy series where celebrity companions become frenemies all for a good laugh -- will return this summer to MTV on August 24. Terrence J will be back as host (he also serves as an executive producer).


So who's along for the roast-filled ride? We can confirm that Michael B. Jordan, Steelo Brim and cameos by Tiffany Haddish and Issa Rae will be featured. They'll join the ranks of SafeWord alums from Season 1 like Amber Rose, Ludacris, LaLa Anthony and Kevin Hart, to name a few.


A reminder of the rules: in every episode, celebrity visitors (the "captains") will partner with laugh-out-loud comedians, including Carly Aquilino, Damien Dante Wayans, Jessimae Peluso, Jordan Rock, Klarity and Leonard Ouzts, will go head-to-head in hilarious games and social media challenges that push them out of their comfort zone. In the spirit of a friendly comedy roast, the celebs are tasked with taking the heat although can habitually stop the pain by using their “safeword.” At the end of every episode, the losing captain must answer three unfiltered questions while hooked up to a lie detector machine, totally at the mercy of their opponent.
