Before starring in films such as Django Unchained and Ray (for which he won the Academy Award for best actor), Jamie Foxx created and starred in his own sitcom. From 1996 to 2001, The Jamie Foxx Show aired on The WB.
The series follows Jamie King (Foxx), an aspiring musician who moves from to Texas to Los Angeles. To support himself as he pursues his dream, he takes a job in a hotel run by his aunt (Ellia English) and uncle (2 Broke Girls's Garrett Morris).
While working at The Kings Tower, Jamie pursues his beautiful co-worker, Francesca "Fancy" (Garcelle Beauvais), and pokes fun at the stuffy, high-strung Braxton (Christopher B. Duncan).
