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.

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.

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.
