Jamie Foxx is returning to the Fox network to host a new sketch comedy series called The Jamie Foxx Project. The new show, which some say may be similar to In Living Color, is being produced by Foxx and Affion Crockett. Each of them will also be featured in the series as well. Crockett has previously worked on projects such as The Boondocks, Nick Cannon Presents Short Circuitz and Dance Flick.

Each episode of the program will feature sketches making fun of popular culture, including current television shows, movies, music videos, commercials and events. There will also be a lot of guest appearances on the show by some of today's most popular comedians and celebrities. As of right now there is no set date for the show's premiere.

Jamie Foxx will be returning to some of his roots. The actor, 43, will be seen again on the FOX network, in his new, so far untitled comedy project. Foxx became well-known after starring on FOX’s In Living Color, which ran from 1990 to 1994, and consisted of others like the Wayans brothers, David Alan Grier, and Jim Carrey. According to MonstersandCritics.com, the FOX network picked up the show, which will be a primetime half-hour comedy sketch series. Oscar winner Foxx will be the new show’s executive producer. Comedian and actor Affion Crockett will star in the project, as well as serve as one of the show’s producers.

In addition to many other projects, Foxx is currently in pre-production for The Skank Robbers, a spin-off of a sketch from In Living Color, according to IMDB. Foxx won an Academy Award in 2005 for his performance in Ray, in which he portrayed blind singer Ray Charles. He has also won numerous other film awards.

That show had a lot of inspiration of the soul-searching kind, as the inmates promised the Prisons' bosses maximum discipline if the bosses promised that Theatre Factory would be back once more.

It was the first and only time an entertainment ensemble had performed at the prison. Grand Comedy had similar soul-searching moments.The skit with Richard Tuwangye, Dixon Zizinga and Wilson Bugembe that revolved around religions and false prophets was food for the spirit.
