50 Cent Lands Variety Show: I Want to Show the World the Best of the Best

Amid his ongoing legal troubles, 50 Cent has just announced a new business venture with television network A&E. Together the two have developed a inimitable variety show temporarily titled 50 Cent Presents, which will star the rapper/businessman as he hosts what The Hollywood Reporter calls "In Living Color a step further."

50 Cent Presents will reportedly combine "sketches, stand-up, reality experiments, music, magic, dance and celebrity guest appearances," and 50 cannot wait to "show the world the best of the best." "I grew up watching variety shows and am excited to put my own spin on the format. I hope everyone is ready to bring their talent forward," 50 toldTHR.

Mr. Jackson will also act as one of the project's executive producers with G-Unit Film & Television's Stephen J. Savva & Elaine Frontain Bryant, Brad Holcman and Sean Gottlieb from A&E's programming department. Bryant had this to say about the variety show: "50 Cent is the perfect partner to refresh this classic format. He is a true tastemaker across industries and we are excited to see his impressive showcase of talent."
