Will Smith’s production company is teaming up with Sony to give Queen Latifah a new daytime talk show in 2013.
The rapper/singer and actress has teamed with Overbrook Entertainment bosses Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and Sony Pictures Television to produce a new series that will impact daytime TV within the next two years, producers say. Latifah and her Flavor Unit Entertainment partner Shakim Compere will co-produce the project.
Overbrook’s spokesman Miguel Melendez says:
“We have known and admired Latifah for over 20 years, dating back to our music days, to her first television role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and years later when she worked with Jada on the film Set It Off. This forum is the perfect place to showcase Latifah’s tremendous range of talents and unique ability to connect and inspire people.”
As you may or may not remember with Warner Bros.’ TelePictures for a talk show that lasted two seasons before being axed in 2001.
