LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - He has led civil rights marches, scolded the nation's leaders and even run for president, but the Rev. Al Sharpton now wants to do something completely different -- star in his own television sitcom.

Sharpton, in an interview with Reuters on Friday, confirmed a report in Daily Variety that he would soon be filming a pilot for a family show called "Al in the Family" that would revolve around his larger-than-life personality.

"I don't know if I am a good actor or not but I will be playing myself and I have been practicing that for 51 years," the New York Democrat and civil rights leader said.

You really can't make this stuff up. First 'Growing up Gotti' and now this - Brought to you by the MSM/CBS contingent. What a joke - More exaltation of the dysfunctional and pro Dem airtime.

[Ron in Acreage]

Hollywood loves him. He's a democrat and a racist anti-semite.

[Spok]

What a great idea! He can call it the CBS Evening News.

[308MBR]

I thought his life WAS a sitcom.

[Brett66]

He has led civil rights marches, scolded the nation's leaders and even run for president

and even started riots where people got killed.......

Sycophant whore rooters.

[billhilly]

His daughter/lover will be named Tawana, and mostly she will sleep in a trash bag with the CBS logo on it.

I believe I could write for that show.

[operation clinton cleanup]

First Katie C. hosting the CBS evening news and now this? PLEASE let it be true!

[TCats]

Yeah. Wonder if they'll have an episode where he incites a crowd to burn down a building and murder the owners.

Despite the fact the H'Wood and MSM crowd loves this thing he is crooked and IMO a murderer - But these are just minor inconveniences not warranting exposure by these people.

[wingman1]

Will he play the part of a Buffoon?

Maybe a Harlem version of "The Honeymooners"?

Yeah. Al Sharpton the bus driver. Barney Frank could be his next-door neighbor.

[bboop]

Al Sharpton IS his own sitcom.

[SF Republican]

Please no, there are too many now; the Al Gore sitcom, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi; we really cannot take too many more.

[PJ-Comix]

"Fat Albert."

[Tall_Texan]

I thought CBS already had "Two And A Half Men"...

[WasDougsLamb]

CBS is stuck on stupid if they are going to allow a race baiting, hate spewing ,ignorant slob like that have a TV show. He doesn't say anything that would appeal to the intelligent people in America ( many of us are not fluent in stupidity )and as far as his people/followers go, they have the BET cable channel to talk their bulls**t on. Don't try and force it on decent people. CBS better think about it REAL hard before they make a move like that.

LOST medallion ?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Maybe now Atty. Pagones can get his $65K in damages (plus post judgment interest)by garnishing his CBS wages.

[Stultis]

Al in the Family (comedy, 30 mins.)

Not a Slave to Fashion (pilot)

Hilarity, arson and murder ensue when Al goes to Harlem and addresses a mob outside Freddy's Fashion Mart.

Cast: Al Sharpton (himself), Some Dead Jews.

[Mr_Moonlight]

His daughter/lover will be named Tawana, and mostly she will sleep in a trash bag with the CBS logo on it.

Thats perfect! Subtitle of the episode: "Our slander of Steven Pagones was fake but accurate"

[texianyankee]

Good time to post one of the Sharpton pics I borrowed from an unknown FReeper that was posted in the recent past.

[SF Republican]

ah, the original fake but accurate report.

[ChadGore]

Wow thanks! :) I made that picture :)

[Mr_Moonlight]

beat'cha by 48 seconds :)

[texianyankee]

Well then, thanks to you for sharing the pic!

[ChadGore]

Just a few days before Katrina, Al got a speeding ticket in Texas for going 110 MPH.

[billhilly]

The more things change, huh?

[Zacs Mom]

His first episode has already been released ~



The Reverend and the Moonbat

what the audience sees

what the audience doesn't see

cue violins and fade to black

[sweetliberty]

Just what we need....another ignorant blowhard liberal with a big mouth invading homes and minds across the nation.

[jw777]

He should call it, "My run for President of the United States of America"

[TCats]

There should be some kind of warning with those Pics. Especially the last/bottom one. Looks like the business end of a Pig Farm. LOL

[texianyankee]

Yeah - I recall that news. I wished I coulda seen Sharpton squirming while our DPS began writing the ticket. Of course, he wasnt behind the wheel - he had a chauffeur taking him to the airport.

[Forest Keeper]

...a family show called "Al in the Family"

More like "Fat Alfred and the Kos-by Kids".

[okie01]

Perhaps CBS should look into putting Big Al behind the anchor desk at CBS Evening News.

He'd be cheaper than Katie Couric. And vastly more entertaining...

[Maceman]

Maybe a Harlem version of "The Honeymooners"?

Didn't Amos n Andy already do that?

[GloriaJane]

Al Sharpton's visit with sheehan and then all the race baiting that went on right after Katrina is what I believe lead to my dream (and maybe something I ate) and my dream lead to my song, "God's Amazing Grace".

If anyone thought I was out there with that, I think this has got even me beat! LOL!!

[BunnySlippers]

"hey we're movin' on up, yeah, movin' on up ... to the eastside ... to a dee-luxe apartment ...

[Dante3]

Sharpton has been appearing in commercials for LoanMax.

[gc4nra]

Al Sharpton "IS" his own sitcom!

[billhilly]

The perfect leading lady for Big Al's crazy show just had an article posted here. Follow the link to Eleanor Clift.

[dc-zoo]

"Sharptoung and Sons o B*tches"?

[dc-zoo]

And Sharptoung says "Damn Cindy, you about as butt ugly as I is".

[babydoll22]

The local channel has been running a commercial with al giving a spiel about vehicle title lending. Any one else see it?

[wingman1]

"Didn't Amos n Andy already do that?"

That's Right!

Except they left out the perfunctory, modern day sitcom, gay component.

Maybe I should have capitalized "GAY".

[OnRightOnLeftCoast]

It would be the appropriate network: See BS

By the fact this clown has Reverend in front of his name makes him a candidate for comedy.

[gathersnomoss]

Have I missed something here? He has been staring in a sitcom for years.

[GloriaJane]

"The perfect leading lady for Big Al's crazy show just had an article posted here. Follow the link to Eleanor Clift."

I can't stand that woman! What a snot she is!

Lord forgive me.... but I hope everywhere she goes big bus, cabs & private cars hit "REALLY BIG" mud puddles and she is the recipient of every last drop of the freezing cold water.

[NYCVirago]

Maybe he could play the "New Yorker" who actually lives in New Jersey, or the "family man" who cheats on his wife with his employee.

[ridesthemiles]

He's been a daily living sit-com since he was about 18, I think.

[magslinger]

Maybe I should have capitalized "GAY".

No capitalization, but you did misspell it. The correct spelling is homosexual.

[Cvengr]

Al Sharpton and Mencia as Chico and The Man!

[goldstategop]

Fat Al is really quite funny. Having seen him in cameos on Boston Legal, he's a born laugh riot. He's a terrible politician but when it comes to parodying himself, he's right at home. Its the perfect career for Al Sharpton.
