Sports Illustrated is turning its 2016 Swimsuit edition cover girl reveal into a full-fledged TV special. The show, called "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 Revealed," will air on TNT later this month, according to the Associated Press.

The hour-long program will be hosted by Nick Cannon and former supermodel Rebecca Romijn and will immediately follow the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk competition, according to Sports Illustrated. The special will also include all Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models and will feature behind-the-scenes footage of the shoots. Recording artist Ne-Yo will also be on hand to perform his latest single "Higher Place." The night will end with the reveal of the 2016 cover model.

Elle Macpherson, who graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition a record setting five times, will receive the Jule Campbell Award, which is named after a Sports Illustrated editor who was a pioneer of the Swimsuit edition.

Whoever the 2016 cover girl is, she is joining some huge models who have been on the cover, such as Chrissy Teigen, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Beyoncé and Kate Upton, Entertainment Weekly reported.
