White Famous

In White Famous, Jay Pharoah plays talented young comedian Floyd Mooney, whose star is rising, forcing him to navigate the treacherous waters of maintaining his credibility as he begins to cross over into the world of becoming "white famous."

Executive produced by Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx and based on his experiences, this comedy series is also executive produced by Tom Kapinos, creator of Californication.

Utkarsh Ambudkar (The Mindy Project) plays Malcolm, Floyd's frustrated agent who wants his client to do whatever it takes to make it big.

Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth) plays Floyd's ex-girlfriend Sadie, the love of his life and the mother of his son, played by Lonnie Chavis (This is Us).

Jacob Ming-Trent (Feed the Beast) stars as Ron Balls, Floyd's roommate - in the middle of the chaos, he remains the voice of reason.

Stephen Tobolowsky (The Goldbergs) guest stars in the series' pilot. Additional guest stars this season include Meagan Good, Jack Davenport, Michael Rapaport, Kendrick Sampson, Lyndon Smith and Natalie Zea.

This show has potential but does not quite hit the spot.  Eight episodes in and I can literally count the few chuckles I've had, let alone outright laughs. A bit thin on the plot and a lot OTT moments and forced comic moments as well.
