Capitalizing on Latifah, though, should be paramount, and the one thing that might make it stand out would be more segments dedicated to her discussing current issues, showcasing her personality.
The show did establish a pleasant, feel-good vibe, but without delivering any real incentive to return other than one’s level of admiration for the host.
It's hard to tell from the premiere precisely what Latifah is going for here, besides the truly fabulous set that was, apparently, designed by Lenny Kravitz.
