COZI TV, NBCUniversal Local's national multicast network that delivers TV's all-time best shows and comedy favorites, is expanding its morning roster with a pair of iconic comedies from Sony Pictures Television: Malcolm & Eddie and The Steve Harvey Show. The fan favorites debut next Monday, December 1, with back-to-back episodes from 8 to 9 a.m. ET and 9 to 10 a.m. ET, respectively. This marks the first time Malcolm & Eddie will be presented on a multicast network.

Malcolm & Eddie (8 to 9 a.m. ET) follows the hilarious misadventures of two unlikely friends—responsible Malcolm McGee and fast-talking Eddie Sherman—as they navigate life, business, and friendship in Kansas City.

Set in Chicago's West Side, The Steve Harvey Show debuted in 1996 and ran originally for six seasons for 122 episodes.

Both shows replace The Munsters weekday block, but The Munsters will still air on weekends.
