Ice-T and Coco will soon officially be able to add talk show hosts to their resumes.
The reality stars have landed their own daytime talk show from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, which will air across FOX stations as a three-week daily test run beginning this summer.
The show, which is entitled Ice & Coco, “will cover topics of the day including Hollywood news and will feature celebrity guests, fun segments, games and open interviews, presented in a fun, authentic vibe by the husband-and-wife duo.”
The series will premiere Aug. 3 on select Fox-owned stations in major markets, including New York and L.A.
“We see this as another attempt to do something different — big personalities, new to the daypart,” Frank Cicha, senior VP of programming, Fox Television Station, said in a statement. “Ice-T helped change popular culture. We’re trying to do the same thing for daytime.”
Candi Carter of The Oprah Winfrey Show and BET’s Just Keke will serve as exec producer on the daytime talk show.
Previously, the couple starred on their own E! reality show, Ice Loves Coco, which premiered in June 2011 and ran for three seasons.
Of their new talk show, Ice-T and Coco commented, “It’s a fun show with our own style of hip, married humor and honesty.”
