'Queen Latifah' promises 'juicy' 2nd season
LOS ANGELES — Queen Latifah is making changes in her daytime talk show for its second season. The biggest, she said, involves her.
“Everything at the end of the day comes down to me being myself,” Latifah said. “My whole goal this year is to be more loose, more playful, more fun, more provocative.”
The result, she said, will be “juicy.”
Her first year with “The Queen Latifah Show,” which airs at 4 p.m. weekdays on the CW, Channel 6, provided a lesson in what worked and what didn’t. The show has a new executive producer, Todd Yasui, to steer it.
Celebrities will remain part of the equation. Latifah still is angling for President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
During the first season, the 44-year-old singer and actress said, audiences responded to the show’s motivational, upbeat elements, and they’ll be more prominent this time around.
