FAT JOE WILL HOST AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCE THE 30-MINUTE INTERVIEW SERIES

Pasadena, Calif. - July 11, 2024- STARZ announced today that it has greenlit "Fat Joe Talks," a lively new interview series hosted and executive produced by Grammy award-nominated artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist Fat Joe that will give viewers unique access into the lives of today's most influential personalities who drive the cultural zeitgeist. 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.

"'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," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. "We are thrilled to be working with Joe and our partners at SpringHill and Embassy Row to launch this incredible show, offering authentic, backstage, rare access to these cultural icons."

Embassy Row will serve as the production company on the project. Grammy-nominated artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist Fat Joe is the host and executive producer of "Fat Joe Talks."

About Fat Joe

Fat Joe is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, author, actor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and media personality that hails from the Bronx, New York. With an acclaimed career that has spanned four different decades, Joe has cemented his legacy as a hip-hop heavyweight, having amassed several multiplatinum and gold studio albums, mixtapes, singles and collaborations, including "Lean Back," "What's Luv," "Make It Rain," and "All The Way Up," among countless others.

Beyond his unprecedented longevity, Joe - who is of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent - helped play an integral role in bridging the intersection of hip-hop and Latin music, collaborating with Gloria Estefan, Thalia, Ricky Martin, etc. Joe has also displayed an eye for discovering and developing new talent, having signed the likes of DJ Khaled, Big Pun, Remy Ma and more to his Terror Squad label imprint.

Most recently, Joe reinvented himself into a media personality, hosting the 2022 and 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards and episodes of The Drew Barrymore Show and The Wendy Williams Show. His pivot into media began in 2020, when he launched "The Fat Joe Show," an Instagram Live talk-show where he interviewed a wide array of guests such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Floyd Mayweather, Jamie Foxx, etc. Those experiences ultimately paved the way for Joe to get his own show on STARZ.

The Bronx native expanded his résumé and became an author in November 2022, releasing his memoir, The Book of Jose, which pulled back the curtains on the trials, tribulations and triumphs throughout his personal life and professional career. Joe's acclaimed memoir is in the process of being converted into a television series on Showtime that will be executive produced by Kenya Barris.

He has shined in acting roles, most notably starring alongside Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish in "Night School" as well as in Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" Netflix series. He is also slated to star alongside Susan Sarandon in an animated comedy series called "The Movers" that is currently in development at FOX.

Joe is also the owner and founder of three UP NYC stores in New York City, which sells exclusive sneakers from brands such as Jordan and Nike as well as sports apparel, caps, etc. Joe is also the co-owner of Rewind It 10, a men's at-home beard and hair coloring collection. Rewind It 10 is made from high-quality, professional-grade, Italian formulas that allow men everywhere access to salon-quality results from the comfort of their home or local barber.
