Word is Queen Latifah is jumping into the stand-up comedy world by producing a new competition TV show.
According to published reports, the Queen is the executive producer on a project called “Knock Knock” — a reality show more than just stand-up routines. The show is slated to follow 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 ‘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.
