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." A co-production of Lionsgate Television and SHOWTIME, WHITE FAMOUS is a collaboration between writer and showrunner Tom Kapinos (CALIFORNICATION), who will executive produce, and Foxx, who will executive produce and guest star in a recurring role. Tim Story, the prolific director who helmed the movie franchises Barbershop, Ride Along and Think Like A Man, will executive produce and direct the pilot. 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.

I'm all in for a Californication spinoff. This actually looks pretty good. Apparently, the first 2 episodes air tonight.

I heard some complained about the stereotypes in the show.

No one watching this? It's really improved the last few weeks. The dinner party episode was hilarious. Now that Vice Principals is done, I would recommend giving this show another look if you've fallen off. I hope Showtime brings it back for more seasons.

The episode at the school with the principal was kind of weak.
Maybe that episode was lacking something with the Indian agent MIA for most of the episode.
Michael Rappaport is annoying

Dammit. I don't understand how SMILF got picked up and this got canceled. Well, I do understand SMILF had higher ratings.
