Jones found out that HBO would air his special when he returned for a second appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which taped Thursday, March 17 for air today, Monday, March 21.

The special will be written by Quincy Jones, with Mickey Blaine directing. Executive producers, Quincy Jones, Nicole Blaine and Mickey Blaine. Other executive producers include Andy Coleman for Link Entertainment and Lisa Shapiro and Olivia Doud for Mosaic.
