Fat Joe is taking his talents back to television. Starz Network has tapped him to host a forthcoming interview series.

Deadline is reporting that the Bronx, New York native will put use his charisma and signature humor to the network. Titled Fat Joe Talks, the show will “give viewers unique access into the lives of today’s most influential personalities who drive the cultural zeitgeist.” During the 30-minute episodes the “Lean Back” MC will travel the country and meet with different personalities.

Starz expressed their enthusiasm about the project in a formal statement. “Fat Joe Talks is an exciting foray into talk, and who better than Joe—a legend in and of himself—to drive provocative conversations that tap into the zeitgeist and matter to our audience,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming. “We are thrilled to be working with Joe and our partners at SpringHill and Embassy Row to launch this incredible show, offering authentic, backstage, rare access to these cultural icons.” Fat Joe gained popularity as a media personality with his Instagram Live show. He has gone on to be a guest host for The Wendy Williams Show and host the BET Hip-Hop Awards two consecutive years.
At this time there no set premiere date for Fat Joe Talks.
