VH1 Live!

Political commentator, Morehouse College professor and award-winning journalist Marc Lamont Hill loves to converse about complex issues like race relations and Islamic terrorism, but it's his obsession with TV's "Love and Hip Hop" franchise and all-things Rihanna that forms the basis of VH1 Live! . The weekly late-night talk show puts a pop culture spin on the hottest entertainment news and gossip, and Hill guides the conversation as host, using book smarts and North Philadelphia-born street savvy to infuse his opinions. The series is produced by the same studio behind Bravo's popular "Watch What Happens Live" and will incorporate a lot of the interactivity used on that Andy Cohen-hosted show by asking the studio audience and viewers at home to participate via social media.
