He later created and produced "The Queens of Comedy," starring Academy-Award winner, Mo'Nique, "The Latin Kings of Comedy," starring George Lopez, and two seasons of HBO’s hit comedy series "P. Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy."

Latham continues to ink deals with distributors such as Hulu, Facebook, and YouTube and is currently in pre-production on a show for Comedy Central.
