Lyte will host the new talk show, 'Cafe Mocha,' with co-hosts, comedian Loni Love of 'Chelsea Lately' fame, and Angelique Perrin, from the popular Los Angeles radio show 'The Beat.' 'Cafe Mocha' will also feature guest appearances by Emmy-winning author Michelle Hammond and sexologist Dr. Rachael Ross.
