The Jamie Foxx Show is an American sitcom that aired on The WB from
August 28, 1996, to January 14, 2001. The series stars Jamie Foxx,
Garcelle Beauvais, Christopher B. Duncan, Ellia English, and Garrett
Morris.Although the show was not a major success with the ratings due
to The WB being a relatively new network, the show did help launch
Foxx's acting career while also relaunching Morris' career after his
1994 shooting. It also served as a launch pad for Beauvais who would
go on to star in ABC's NYPD Blue.Jamie King (Jamie Foxx) is an
aspiring musician from Terrell, Texas, who has come to Los Angeles to
pursue a career in entertainment. To support himself, he worked at his
family's hotel, the financially strapped King's Tower, which is owned
by his aunt and uncle, Aunt Helen and Uncle Junior King (Ellia English
and Garrett Morris).Among his co-workers during the series' run were
the beautiful and intelligent front desk clerk Francesca "Fancy"
Monroe (Garcelle Beauvais) and Jamie's high-strung, stuffed-shirt,
"bourgeois" nemesis Braxton P. Hartnabrig (Christopher B. Duncan) who
works as an accountant for the King's Tower.
