What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime premium cable channel, White Famous stars Jay Pharoah, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Jacob Ming-Trent, Lonnie Chavis, and Cleopatra Coleman, with Jamie Foxx guest starring as himself. In the first season, Michael Rapaport, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jack Davenport, Kendrick Sampson, Lyndon Smith, Natalie Zea, and Meagan Good also guest star on the Showtime TV series. Inspired by Foxx’s early career, the story centers on a young, talented African-American comedian, Floyd Mooney (Pharoah). Floyd is on a serious professional upswing. His act is catching on so well, he’s starting to cross over. His fanbase is expanding so fast, he’s on the brink of becoming “white famous.” Now, Floyd faces a new challenge — maintaining his credibility without hindering the growth of his career.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the White Famous TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that Showtime has cancelled this TV series, instead?
Please renew it has comedy at a newer insight to the struggles bebind the show very delightful
I watched all of Season 1 and I’m not gonna lie I hope it gets cancelled…Jay Pharoah just doesn’t do it for me as the lead…I did give it a full chance tho.
This show was a real surprise to me, and I loved every scene of it. None of the cringeworthy moments comedies usually have. If Showtime do not renew it, they are mad.
