Following in the ranks of P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake has teamed up with MTV for a new reality game show, "The Phone."

"The Phone" is set to premiere on MTV on April 21st.
Justin Timberlake’s second TV venture is a comedy on NBC titled, "My Problem With Women." The show is an adaptation of a Peruvian program, "Mi Problema con las Mujeres."
