Kurt Lockwood Gets A Nooner From Spice Live

Porn star Kurt Lockwood has just been chosen to host a new Spice Live talk show called "The Nooners."

The hour-long show is fil;med at the Playboy TV studios but will air live twice a week, Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and Thursday at 9 a.m. PST on the brand new Spice Live; and will also feature a yet-to-be-determined female co-host.

"I'm very excited to be hosting a national live show," Lockwood told AVN.com. "The guys behind the show - Bud Lee, John Guitierrez, and Tony Allen - are all great, really creative guys with a cool vision for what they want."

"What they want is MTV circa 1983 - edgy, unpredictable, exciting new format.

"They told me, 'It's totally about you. We want you for what you can bring to it, your own uniqueness.' That was enough for me. Well, that and the pay is pretty good, too! Plus, it's also an honor to be included with the other hosts, the likes of Julian, Mr. Marcus, and Barrett Blade. That's pretty good company in my book."

Lockwood's profile in British magazine The Face certainly helped raise his visibility in recent months. Lockwood also credits director Bud Lee for putting in a good word for him.

Lockwood begins his hosting duties for the show on April 7.
