Is there anything Ryan Seacrest can’t do?
The “American Idol” host, E! personality and syndicated radio host will produce a new music series for the Spanish-speaking Telemundo network.
The show, called “Superstar Showdown,” will feature two established artists competing against each other for the audience’s vote.
The show’s format has been successful in other countries.
Emilio Romano, president of Telemundo Media, said he’s hoping Seacrest will use his connections and leverage to attract talent.
The network, which is owned by NBC, hasn’t publicly set a start date for the series.
Telemundo had its highest ratings ever during the first three months of 2013.
“We’ve been the underdog for so many years and we’ve been given the mission to fight and fight hard,” Romano said.
In addition to hosting “Idol,” Seacrest produces a bunch of reality shows for E! — including “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” — and hosts a nationally syndicated radio show.
He also participated in NBC’s coverage of last summer’s Olympic Games.
