What is 'Lil Jon Wants to Do What?' all about?

While many HGTV shows are helmed by couples with a lot of professional construction and design expertise, the network also allows prominent personalities from other sections of the entertainment industry a chance to shine. That's why the new program starring erstwhile "Parks and Recreation" actress Retta, as well as the home remodeling show presented by rapper Lil Jon, may pique your interest.

Lil Jon and Anitra push homeowners out of their comfort bubble with brilliant renovations and insights that are sure to inspire bold and intense transitions, from removing a ceiling to broaden the height of the living room to accommodate big new windows to scrapping the basement to add a fully equipped speakeasy for entertaining. The show opens with Lil John and Anita refurbishing a basement for a pair who want to turn it into a family entertainment center. We'll get to see Lil Jon and Anitra go all out, building an amazing club equipped with a trendy lounge, karaoke stage, and wet bar.

'Lil Jon Wants To Do What?' first made headlines in May 2021, when sites like Page Six stated that the recording industry star had a new job. According to the synopsis, each episode will showcase Lil Jon giving homeowners renovation suggestions that they wouldn't have thought of on their own and that may seem to be both inconceivable and unachievable at first. It appears that this show will depict Lil Jon just being himself, while also using his aesthetic shrewdness to help others unconventionally.
