The series will include elements from the Apollo&#8217;s legendary Amateur Night, a live talent competition that allows aspiring artists to perform in front of brutally honest audiences. It will be executive produced by Jim Roush and Chris Wagner for the Roush-Wagner Company. Reginald Hudlin and James McKinlay will also exec produce and serve as showrunners. Don Weiner will executive produce and direct, with Jonelle Procope executive producing for the Apollo Theater and Michael Antinoro exec producing for IMG.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this season,\u00a0FOX aired\u00a0<em>Showtime at the Apollo<\/em> specials featuring such celebrities as John Legend, Tracy Morgan and George Lopez, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all had such a blast on the two specials that aired earlier this season that we thought it really deserved being a weekly event,\u201d said Harvey. \u201cBut our mission is a little different this time around. Instead of just putting on a great show, we\u2019re going to do that and find the next great comic and the next big music star. That\u2019s what the Apollo is all about. My roots are on that stage and I can\u2019t wait to be there every week, looking for great talent.
