Actor Will Smith is now the latest big name to be attached to Quibi. 

Smith will host and executive produce a stand-up comedy series called This Joka for the short-form streaming service. The 16-episode show comes from Smith's Westbrook Studios and Topgolf Entertainment Group. The latter's Las Vegas outlet will serve as one of the locations for the series.

"Will's love and respect for stand-up comedy runs deep, and with this series on Quibi, we hope to discover, learn from and uplift the next generation of diverse comedic talent," said Terence Carter, co-president of Westbrook Studios. "The goal of This Joka isn't just to laugh but to find the universal human truths behind the laughter."

The series will showcase up-and-coming and established comedians and feature a blend of stand-up sets, one-on-one conversations between Smith and the comics and documentary footage from backstage and around Las Vegas.

Smith and Carter executive produce This Joka with Miguel Melendez, Brad Haugen, Lukas Kaiser, Erik Anderson, Chad Nelson and YuChiang Cheng. Lance Bangs directs.
