Jamie Foxx is likely to make a big return to TV, if all goes well with his latest project. Showtime announced Wednesday the decision to order the pilot for his half-hour comedy series, White Famous. The Academy Award winner will executive produce and have a recurring role in the show about a young black comedian, who is trying to maintain his credibilty as he verges on becoming “white famous.”
“I came up from standup comedy, so to be able to share that aspect of my life on screen with a project like ‘White Famous’ is incredibly exciting. We couldn’t have found better partners than Showtime, Lionsgate and Tom Kapinos to tell this story in the best possible way,” said Foxx.
The project is in conjunction with Showtime and Lionsgate television.
Are you ready to see Jamie back on television!?
