Lil Rel Howery is the breakout star from Get Out, and tonight after the football game he gets his show on Fox. Lil Rel teams up with his former co-star Jerrod Carmichael, who is now his executive producer, for Rel.
Rel had it all, a beautiful wife and two kids, but then she cut him out her life when she slept with his barber. Now he is trying to adjust to single life with his kids being so far away from him. Thankfully, he has his father (Sinbad) who is not that supportive. His brother Nat (Jordan L. Jones) who just got out of jail for dealing crack, I mean ecstasy. Plus, his best friend Tiffany (Jessica Moore) who keeps it real with him. She even sets up him with her friend who has something everyone makes fun of her about.
Good thing his preacher (Lil Rel) likes to use his family and him as examples in his sermons. Good thing for us, not for him.
Rel has a lot of potential because of the people in front of and behind the camera like Carmichael and The Simpson’s Mike Scully. It is not The Carmichael Show, but it is definitely a sitcom we can all fall in love with.
After tonight, we will get more episodes starting on September 30th at 9:30p.
Sinbad is alive and kicking (contrary to reports from last year) and will be on this of FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia starting on September 18th at 10p!
I just love how wrong this show is and I can’t wait to see what the writers come up with for the gang this season. Especially what the heck is that green screen man doing!
BTW I didn’t recognize Sinbad without his famous ‘do.
Someone erroneously posted on Sinbad's Wikipedia page that he died of heart attack over the weekend. Sinbad did an interview with AP and to let them he is still alive and kicking. He told them as soon as the news was posted on Wikipedia he started to receive calls, E-Mails and text messages to see if he was still with us. Who knew there were that many people checking out his Wikipedia page to find the fake update. When he was asked about how he felt about the rumor, he said this "It's gonna be more commonplace as the Internet opens up more and more. It's not that strange." Sadly I think he is right, don't you. BTW another update on him is that he is doing a tour with his stand-up if you want to see him (a)live!
