Preview Cee Lo Green And His Puppets In New Talk Show ‘Talking To Strangers’

It was easy to forgive Cee Lo Green for his tardiness at this past year’s Coachella since the velvet-voiced crooner has scored aces in every other aspect in the past year. He’s given us delicious singles, formidable albums, weird-and-wacky performances, endlessly rewatchable videos and sits as one-fourth of the panel on our new TV obsession. Up next for the entertainer is Talking To Strangers, a new talk show he’ll be hosting on Fuse, and if the preview is any indication, we’ve got a lot to look forward to. (Including Cee Lo doppelgangers made of felt.)

Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, Lupe Fiasco, TV On The Radio and Train are just some of the guests who appear on the show, and based on Cee Lo and his guests’ friendly, anything-goes demeanor in this preview, it appears that this will be more fun and games mixed with deeper conversations, rather than the usual of late night talk show segments featuring brief ancedotes before getting down to business to promote your latest what-have-you. We’ll be watching.
