"White Famous is the modernized version of Californication. Take away the David Duchovny sexcapades, swap the writing career for an acting career, add the complex conversation about race in Hollywood, and you've got yourself the new Showtime series. Jay Pharoah plays Floyd Mooney, who is loosely based on Jamie Foxx (Foxx is an executive producer on the show and also appears in some episodes). Mooney is an up-and-coming comedian dealing with a sex tape, an agent trying to convince him to become 'white famous,' and the craziness that is the industry, all while trying to be there for his adorable son, Trevor, played by Lonnie Chavis from This Is Us. Luckily, Mooney has his lovable roommate and best friend Balls as a voice of reason through all the madness." — PK
