The down-to-earth and super-talented emcee turned businesswoman, Queen Latifah, is set to try the day-time talk show route again. Her new show “Queen Latifah” will be a different type of talk show with a lot more interaction with the A-list guests and audience members. This time around Latifah’s mission is to bring a lot more entertainment (i.e. singing, comedy, games) to television, along with a certain level of warmth and optimism.

 

The show will be produced by Sony, Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment, and Will & Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment. Set to debut on September 16, Queen Latifah will be in direct competition with other shows such as Dr. Phil. Analysts are suspecting Queen Latifah will see ratings of 1.8 million viewers during this demo run. In comparison, Dr. Phil showed a 1.4 million rating during its debut airing last season. To help increase the buzz, Latifah has already taped segments with actor Will Smith and John Travolta.

 

With being a huge household name, Latifah is sure to bring on the viewership she needs. She’s very likable, funny, and easygoing which are all great traits to have as host of your own show.

 

We wish her much success on this resurfaced endeavor. She is truly an inspiration!
