White Famous

A second SNL vet’s Showtime project is arriving at an early end. After Taran Killam’s Mating ended up on the discard pile, Jay Pharoah’s Jamie Foxx-produced White Famous is officially calling it quits after one season on the air.

SNL may be notably bereft of Jay Pharoah, but the comedian is about to get White Famous with Jamie Foxx. Showtime has set an October premiere date with a first full trailer for the new meta-comedy of Foxx’s rise to fame.

The good news keeps rolling out at Showtime after Twin Peaks finally got its 2017 premiere date. Not only is The Affair renewed for Season 4 weeks ahead of its finale, but so too has Jamie Foxx and SNL alum Jay Pharoah’s White Famous comedy been picked up to series.
