Bow Wow to Create/Host Late Night Talk Show: ‘I HAD To Do This’

*Bow Wow sees the lack of melanin in late night television and feels someone has to do something.

“I learned so much [hosting 106 & Park] to the point [where] I will have my own late-night show coming,” the rapper/actor announced Wednesday on Instagram. He said his talk show will target “college kids and high school students who have nothing to watch at 10pm.”

The 28-year-old, who now goes by his real name Shad Moss, continued: “I felt I HAD to do this. There’s no platform for hip-hop artists no more. Where can they go to promote on TV other than REVOLT (they still growing). That’s crazy. One outlet?!!”

Without mentioning a production company, network or timetable, Bow Wow added, “I get to run my own show content etc… We will have the best producers and showrunners in the game! Music will play an important key to the show. I want to help the culture and this is my way of giving back to the game that made me!”

Bow Wow says he hopes to get Kendrick Lamar, Michelle Obama, and J. Cole as guests, and hopes to kick the show off with Kobe Bryant.

“Get ready, I’m going through set designs now,” he said.

First time people saw me was on Arsenio Hall show. So its only right i go back to where it started.first let me thank him by paving the way because i wouldn’t have did what I’m about to do. I been quietly working on a project that i felt was needed. When i hosted 106 i knew then i could do whatever (talent wise) but i did not own 106 i had little control and i gots to be the man because im a creator. So when i cant be creative well… But i learned so much to the point i will have my own late night show coming. I get to run my own show content etc… We will have the best producers and show runners in the game! Wont be like ANYTHING ON TV. Its going to be a show YOU HAVE TO WATCH. Music will play an important key to the show. I felt i HAD to do this. Theres no platform for hip hop artist no more. Where can they go to promote on tv other than revolt (they still growing) thats crazy 1 outlet?!! Music videos became less important. College kids and high school students have nothing at 10pm to really look forward to. Where my guest could be Kendrick lamar w j cole performing live. To having Michelle Obama on. I found my stride. I want to help the culture and this is my way of giving back to the game that made me! Get ready i’m going through set designs now. REMEMBER I NEVER WANTED TO BE THE BEST RAPPER, but the GREATEST MULTI ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME FOR MY ERA. Ps.. I WANT MY FIRST GUEST TO BE NONE OTHER THAN LAKER LEGEND KOBE BRYANT! i want to kixk the show off w him. #shadmoss #BowcomingtolatenightTV #HISTORY #showwillbeINCREDIBLE #lasttodothisarsineohall #younglegend
