It's a parallel universe Twilight Zone, starring Flavor Flav

One of the first announcements to come out of NATPE is that Flavor Flav will be hosting a television series spin-off of Nite Tales: the Movie on the BET network. I have never seen the movie, but based on its general marketing and plot synopsis, I would peg it as an African-American version of The Twilight Zone.

This would make Flavor Flav into Rod Serling. Flav is a scary-looking person (although he doesn't have Rod's ominous demeanor) so perhaps it's a good piece of casting. There have been a few attempts to revive The Twilight Zone since its inception in the 1950's, including a movie and a couple of television series, and they've meet with less success as time progressed. Having a similar idea with a different name is probably for the best (unless that name is The Outer Limits).

I wonder if any of the contestants from Flavor of Love will have cameos?
