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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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...

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!!
