Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit announced yesterday that they will be partnering with Sony Pictures Television to produce a new syndicated talk show for 2013 with The Queen herself serving as host. The deal was spearheaded by Flavor Unit co-founder Shakim Compere and Overbrook’s Miguel Melendez. Both men will serve as executive producers alongside Overbrook trio James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Latifah on the daytime effort. This will be the 2nd time Queen Latifah will take a stab at Daytime television, being that she had “The Queen Latifah Show” back in 1999 which lasted 2 seasons on the air. The team released this statement about the upcoming show.

“We share a common vision and have been wanting to collaborate for quite some time,” said Compere. Added Melendez, “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 alter when she worked with Jada on the film Set it Off.”.

Im not sure how many of you watched the show back in the day. I caught it a few times but never really got hooked on it but here’s to a 2nd chance. My Question is will you be watching? Check out a clip from her 1st daytime show below.

And lets hope she can bring back special guest like Mary J & Lauryn Hill in this throwback clip.
