Yesterday, Kenny Burns announced that he had been named the ambassador for the new NBC show “The Playboy Club,” and less than 24 hours later V-103′s weekend announcer was busy being ambassador…

Burns interviewed “The Playboy Club” co-star Naturi Naughton in New Orleans this afternoon, as part of the Essence Music Festival. “And what really stood out to me – first – was that, you know, she is one of the rare African-American stars, male or female, on network TV right now.

“So we talked about that, about being in a period piece that took place in the ’60s. Factoring in all of the racial uprisings and the historic events. You know, the cultural relevance. Plus she gets to play the role of a sassy, strong, opinionated women in those times.

“Then we got into how far playing Lil Kim in ‘Notorious’ is from playing Bow Wow‘s girlfriend in ‘Lottery Ticket,’ ” the self-described Lifestyle Specialist continued. “Just showing her as a real personality.”

Burns’ ambassador responsibilities don’t end there. Tonight he’ll be on stage at the Superdome before Usher gives his headlining performance. “And I’m going to be taking pictures of everything I do, and sending it back here to the people!”

So check back all weekend!
