Fat Joe is taking on a new role as host and executive producer of an interview show for Starz titled Fat Joe Talks.

The network unveiled the title and additional details about the 30-minute show on Thursday, July 11, during the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Pasadena, California.

The show will feature Grammy-nominated rapper Fat Joe sitting down with “influential personalities” and familiar names in pop culture.

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,” Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz, said in a statement.

According to the official description, “In each 30 minute episode, Fat Joe will lead captivating conversations around a wide range of newsworthy topics and will travel throughout the United States to meet these cultural icons in their environment.”

Starz initially announced details on the show in September 2022. At the time, the network said Sean “Diddy” Combs would be closely involved and would serve as a producer, as previously reported. But with his litany of legal troubles, Diddy is no longer attached to the series.

Embassy Row will serve as the production company on the project.

Additional executive producers include LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Philip Byron, and Jamal Henderson will executive produce for SpringHill, while Michael Davies will executive produce for Embassy Row.

Fat Joe is no stranger to hosting.

In March 2020, he launched an Instagram Live talk-show where he interviews politicians, musicians, athletes, actors, and entrepreneurs such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Floyd Mayweather, Dwyane Wade, Jamie Foxx and Alicia Keys.

He also filled in for Wendy Williams before her daytime talk show ended.

A premiere date for Fat Joe Talks will be announced later.
