Kellie Pickler already calls CMT home with the airing of her reality show, I Love Kellie Pickler, but she’s doubling her spot on their lineup with the pickup of Pickler & Ben to the network’s daytime schedule.

The new, innovative talk show throws together all elements of entertainment and lifestyle as Pickler and her personality co-host, Ben Aaron, chat about the latest news hitting the mainstream while having fun in the process. With country music star Faith Hill taking on the role of executive producer for the show, Pickler & Ben hosts lively segments geared toward a fresh and uplifting audience.

CMT decided to bring the talk show into its morning lineup in addition to its position in 38 local television markets in total. CMT’s connection to Pickler & Ben will mark a national outlet for the talk show to embark on a bigger scale for its home-style feel. Its impact will match up quite well with the network’s dedicated audience, which boosts up their younger presence thanks to their bright outlook of shows and programs lined up for the fall season.

Pickler & Ben will not only discuss the biggest news in the entertainment world, but also bring celebrity guests in to chat with the hosts as well as produce DIY and cooking portions for the show. The hosts’ personalities bounce back and forth off each other, with Pickler providing the laughs and Aaron holding down the fort.

“This show truly feels like home — it’s like spending time with a bunch of good friends who just stopped by to trade stories on the back porch,” Pickler said in a previous announcement. “We have a little something for everyone. We’ll laugh, get inspired and meet some very talented and extraordinary people.”
