It seems like the T.I.’s from Viacom (you know, Paramount Studios, MTV, VH-1, the dancing Negro network, etc.) have signed the right REVEREND AL SHARPTON to a sitcom deal. The good Reverend will be played by himself but there are no other details about the programming.
I would like to imagine that the Reverend plays a character who is a reverend who has a son that aspires to be a gangster rapper because he thinks that is the only way to earn a living for a Black male. From week to week the two go back and forth as the Reverend bails his son out of jail and tries to explain to him how there are many other options for his life. I can’t imagine that the Reverend would do something that is counter to his life’s work, but I should have seen this coming a long time ago.
Over the last ten years he has slowly transformed himself from a public political pariah into someone that everyone wants over their house for dinner. He kicked azz at the Dem National Convention and then everyone kind of forgot about his speech the following day, but he kicked azz nonetheless.
I am just worried that while Rev. AL is producing this show I will have no one to defend me if I get clapped up by the jake DIALLO style.
