Cee Lo Green is getting plenty of attention over at NBC, so we can’t blame Fuse for wanting to get in on the action by bringing the Grammy-winning performer back for a new series.

The network revealed on Friday that Green is tapped to host a show dubbed “Cee Lo Green -- Talking to Strangers.” Green’s new series will follow the standard talk-show format, and be heavy on interviews and performances. Confirmed guests at this point include Lupe Fiasco, Keri Hilson, Train, Estelle, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and TV on the Radio.

Green, of course, is expected to take the stage himself for numerous performances -- it’s his show and he’ll sing if he wants to -- and Kelly Rowland is slated to turn the tables on the host and interview Green for a two-part episode.

Green is no stranger to Fuse. Last year he fronted “Lay It Down,” another interview/performance-based series, except the slant was on artists breaking down their biggest hits and discussing the inspiration behind specific verses and beats. Guests included Lil Jon, Ludacris, T-Pain, N.E.R.D., Janelle Monáe and Public Enemy.

“Talking to Strangers” is set to premiere June 22.
