The “Miles on It” singer hinted at his role just hours before it was announced.
While Brown can barely be seen in the Instagram Stories video as he walks around outside in the dark, he is heard speaking to his followers.
“What’s up, guys? So I have a little TV shoot I’m doing this morning,” he says. I can’t tell y’all what I’m doing, but it’s gonna be sick, and I’m excited!”
Brown also reveals that he is up at 3:45 a.m. to fit in a workout before his call time of 6:45 a.m. to shoot.
This is hardly Brown’s first foray into television.
In addition to his many TV performances and interviews, he has also lent his expertise to up-and-coming singers in a mentor capacity on both American Idol and The Voice.
He also made his acting debut on season 1 of Fire Country in 2023.
Brown has also hosted the CMT Awards three times.
