Affion Crockett (The Boondocks) will star in and also serve as a producer in the comedy, which the network says will offer a “fresh take on pop culture, including spoofs of movie trailers, commercials, TV shows, and music videos.” The yet-to-be-named cast will include up-and-coming comedians.
Fox also promises that some of the “biggest names in Hollywood” will stop by and participate in the show.
“Jamie Foxx’s brilliance first shined on Fox, so it’s fantastic to welcome him back to the network,” said Kevin Reilly, Fox’s entertainment president, in a statement. “Jamie is an undeniable comedy powerhouse both as a performer and a producer, and teamed with the outrageous next-generation comedy of Affion Crockett, we look forward to the next wave of sketch comedy on Fox.”
Foxx was a co-star in Fox’s In Living Color from 1991-1994.
This is sure to be horribly unfunny.
Yeah…this guy is not funny
Can’t wait for this egotist to disappear forever. The only way I’d watch this would be if I had no unread books and Obama was on every other channel.
All the Foxx’s on Fox really made my head spin…
I take none of you haters have ever seen In Living Color. Jamie knows how to do sketch comedy better than most.
If you have ever seen In Living Color you would know that Jamie Foxx IS funny! He is hilarious actually
Foxx funny? Nope.
Love his shows and TallMatchmaker was amazing
