LOS ANGELES, April 7 (UPI) -- TV Guide Network says Jerry Seinfeld, Taraji P. Henson and Jon Hamm are to serve as celebrity panelists on its new U.S. series "Curb: The Discussion." Featuring exclusive, never-before-seen extras, "Discussion" is to air immediately following each "Curb Your Enthusiasm" rerun premiering on the network starting this summer. "Enthusiasm" initially airs on HBO.

Seinfeld, Henson and Hamm are to appear on the premiere episode of "Discussion" June 2.
"TV Guide Network is not cutting the 'Curb' episodes to fit a traditional half-hour format, thereby allowing the show to play as originally intended by (creator and star) Larry David," the network said in a release Wednesday. "The episodes will be edited only for language and nudity. To preserve the series' full-length episodes, the network worked with Larry David to develop a panel discussion that rounds out the episode to a one-hour format while providing a unique forum for hilariously dissecting the world of 'Curb.' Hosted by comedienne and 'Curb' series regular Susie Essman, 'Curb: The Discussion' features a panel of high-profile guest stars, media pundits and prominent social figures who inject their wit, humor and unique point of view to debate Larry's ethical dilemmas featured in each episode of the show."
