Syndicated TV talk shows might not have panned out for Katie Couric or Jeff Probst, but that's not the case for Queen Latifah.

The Queen Latifah Show has been renewed for a second season, a decision that was mostly a formality since the show had a two-year deal, and syndicators are working fast to shore up their plans for next fall. The talk show has been picked up by CBS Station Group and cleared across 97% of the country through 2015.

“We are proud to have the CBS stations as our partners as we continue to build The Queen Latifah Show into a franchise brand,” said John Weiser, SPT’s President, U.S. Distribution. The Queen Latifah Show hasn't been a smash, but its ratings still place it at the top of the heap among this season’s new talk shows, improving its time period in New York where Queen Latifah served up the highest 9 AM rating in adults 25-54 on WCBS in 14 years.

Congrats to Queen Latifah! This is great news. She really is a natural as a talk show host.
