With the news that the CW comedy “Everybody Hates Chris” wasn’t picked up for a fifth season, show creator Chris Rock is planning to give the show a proper finale.
In Rock’s real life, he dropped out of high school to start working in stand-up comedy. “Our Chris is now a sophomore in high school, so the timing is lining up pretty well,” says Terry Crews, who plays Rock’s dad in the series. “Once he becomes a comedian, the show’s over.”
The story line of the final episode, which is currently scheduled for May 8th, will mirror Rock’s real-life decision to drop out of school in the 10th grade to pursue his career in comedy.
16-year-old Tyler James Williams, who plays Chris on the show, told TV Guide that the character will complete a high-school equivalency test.
“An envelope arrives,” Williams said. “But before we find out the results, we fade to black. If it ends here, we ended it the right way.”
FANTASIA REALITY SHOW PICKED UP BY VH1
Fantasia Barrino was introduced to the world via a very popular reality competition (American Idol) and it has been recently confirmed that she will now join the long list of celebrities who have their own reality shows.
Read what Jeff Olde Executive VP of Original Programming for VH1 had to say:
Fantasia has one of the most fascinating stories in show business, from her tough upbringing to her meteoric rise on the national scene thanks to American Idol.
Her challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world. So many people wanted to work with her on this, but Fantasia is now part of the VH1 family, and we’re so happy to have her.
The show is set to start airing in 2010. Sounds like a must see to me.
