White Famous Seasons 1 DVD Overview
Pharoah plays Floyd, a reasonably successful stand-up comic who seems content with a level of fame one character encapsulates as "East of the 10, South of Crenshaw." White Famous Seasons 1 DVD The alternative to this "black obscurity" is "white famous," a condition Floyd's agent Malcolm (Utkarsh Ambudkar, in a different show, but possibly a funnier show) explains as the ability to transcend color, to become a brand name like Eddie Murphy or Will Smith or Jamie Foxx. White Famous Seasons 1 In order to reach this level, though, compromises need to be made and Floyd is a man who is opposed to compromises — which, in the pilot, are embodied by an offer to play a woman in a potentially big movie, something he promised his own father he'd never do. The show accepts that this is a trope relating to emasculating black men, without having enough teeth to call out a Martin Lawrence or Tyler Perry.
