The show will be broadcast on the OZY YouTube channel weekdays at 1p.m. ET.

"I cannot wait for people all over the world to see the great conversations we have coming up," said Carlos Watson.

Watson brings a fresh take to the interview show format and is often seen as one Hollywood's best friends with his guests feeling a level of comfort not experienced on other shows.  The new season, presented by American Family Insurance, will also be launched as a podcast via a partnership between OZY and the iHeart Radio Podcast Network and will be distributed across all iHeart Radio channels and podcast platforms.
