From Hollywood Reporter:

The Queen is heading back to daytime.

Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit announced Monday that they will be partnering with Sony Pictures Television to produce a new syndicated talk show for 2103 with Latifah serving as host. She is expected to join an already crowded landscape that is likely to include Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and Jeff Probst.

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.
