haVoc Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 NEW YORK(AP) He's been a minister, an activist and a presidential candidate. Now Al Sharpton wants to be a sitcom star. Sharpton told the Daily News in Saturday's editions that he is working with CBS on a pilot, tentatively named, "Al in the Family." "It's about conflicting social and political views," Sharpton said. "There'll also be a social message." The Democrat, who has also run for mayor of New York and the U.S. Senate, said one possible episode would have one of his TV children becoming a Republican. "I don't know if I am a good actor or not, but I will be playing myself and I have been practicing that for 51 years," he said.
Richard Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Well at least it's not a reality show.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Sharpton was pretty good in his guest appearance on Boston Legal. I'd probably give this a chance.
Placebo Effect Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Yeah, that'll get picked up. /sarcasm

kkktookmybabyaway Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 The Pilot ought to be ol Poo-Face trying to join this white family (or, better yet, a Jewish family that has a small business) and when they refuse he buses in his rent-a-mob and accuses the father of raping a 10-year old black girl. Then when the mob burns down the family's house, Poo-face can admit the whole thing was a hoax. Hilarity will then ensue. I don't know what's more appalling -- this piece of shit himself, or the media outlets that give him these opportunites...
Toshiaki Koala Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 He's a piece of shit, but he's one of the most entertaining pieces of shit we have. "I had access to those suits." I'd watch.
Boon Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Isn't CBS one of the whitest networks there is?
bobobrazil1984 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Al Sharpton in a sitcom? SOLD! I'd watch that.
