The actress, 38, confirmed on Instagram and Twitter Tuesday that she has signed on to headline a brand new show for E! with the working title, “Busy Tonight.” She is also signed on as an executive producer.
“The only things worth doing are the things that scare you the most. Ignore my bags under my eyes, I’ll get them fixed when I’m a big talk show host,” the mother of two said in a series of videos shared on her Instagram Story.
“I’m super excited about this. I can’t even. It’s gonna be dope. Just have a late-night talk show guys, just hang out and talk about stuff and interview people. And the good news is, I love to talk. Tell me what you want to see, we’re open, we’re open for business and also suggestions,” Philipps also said.
