British rocker Elvis Costello will host a talk show for Sundance Channel, beginning later this year, the cable channel said Wednesday.

"Spectacle: Elvis Costello With . . .," which will be executive produced by Elton John, will also air on CTV in Canada and Channel 4 in the U.K.

The series will feature everything from intimate one-on-ones with legendary performers and notable newcomers to thematic panel discussions, with a variety of performance elements, Sundance said.

Is this guy ever going to age? Creatively or otherwise? It sure doesn't seem like it.

Now there is a show I am interested in.

He is a super talent and he has a temper.

Could be good!

This is the one thing that will get me to subscribe to cable. This will be a great show because Costello is such a great fan himself.

I'll watch this one. Elvis's range of musical knowledge is formidable. Don't be surprised if he mixes in classical, opera, experimental, country, and jazz along with pure pop. Just hope the ratings aren't less than zero.

It's about time music variety shows returned to the tube. Even as a kid I used to really enjoy the Johnny Cash show, Glenn Campbell show, even Hee Haw. Costello will be able to get some incredible guests. New artists will be fighting to get on. This may be a hit the size of the Ed Sullivan show.

Always thought of him as the rocker most likely to talk everyone under the table. He IS "like a chainsaw running through a dictionary."
