You Know What, I Like Cedric the Entertainer
First off because he is every overweight man's dance idol. He makes it look much better than we can when we attempt to shift our body weight from one foot to the other and call it dancing. And, he can sing, and I'm always up for a guy who can do a bunch of stuff.
So, I'm cautiously optimistic about this deal his gotten for an ABC family sitcom pilot.
From Nellie Andreeva at the Reporter:
The comedian will play a man who has always been the proud breadwinner for his family and has difficulty adjusting when his wife's hobby turns into a multimillion-dollar enterprise.
What I like about the premise is that it obviously calls for a strong female cast as the wife, not someone like Courtney Thorne-Smith (you know how I feel about her).
So, strong woman of color in the lead? I say, if she has the comedy chops, Siena Goines, who played Jericho's Mystery Woman Sarah Mason on a few eps this past year. She's pretty but not in a very obvious way, and I watc hed her character convincingly break a man's neck on that show. That's strong.
Feel free to suggest other possibilities in the comments section.
