According to multiple sources, word is Queen Latifah is about to produce a reality stand up comedy show for an undisclosed network. The reality show will follow the lives of four up and coming comedians in and about the comedy world, and to be hosted by The Chappelle’s Show Donnell Rawlings.
This news makes sense to us as Latifah has been seen muliple times as The Comedy Union in Los Angeles, most notably the night Kim Coles had a comedy event celebrating her new show several months ago.
Check out what TMZ is reporting below;
Sources close to the Queen tell us she’s executive producer on a project called “Knock Knock” — a reality show more than just stand-up routines. We’re told it follows 4 up and coming comedians in their daily lives, as they hustle for their big break in Hollywood.
Latifah will mostly be behind the camera, along with longtime producing partner Otis Best — and they’ve hired ‘Chappelle Show’ vet Donnell Rawlings to host. The winner gets to open for him, and also host their own stand-up special.
The show doesn’t have a home yet, but we’re told multiple networks have interest.
