I absolutely loved Foxx’ performance in “Ray” and in “Collateral”, but count me among those who didn’t think his comedic “slick-talking jive” persona was funny. I saw a lot of his self-titled “Jamie Foxx Show” which ran on UPN for a number of years and can’t remember laughing at it once (though I did like looking at his co-star Garcelle Beauvais).
zamboniracer. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I called it “That Fine-Ass Leggy Black Chick In The Short Skirt Show.” I kept hoping they’d do an episode where she’d have to repeatedly bend over to pick up things.
Jamie Foxx was on that?
Count me as another one who completely discounted Foxx before he did Collateral. Where he was hiding his talent while he was doing dead-end WB/UPN sitcoms and lousy comedy movies I have no idea.
