Comedy that’s crazy like a Foxx! When Jamie King heads to L.A. to break into showbiz, his first job is singing at a hotel. Seems like a great gig…until he realizes that he also works the front desk, delivers room service, sorts the mail and mops up. In the first season of this brash, bright comedy series fueled by the high-octane talent of Jamie Foxx (Collateral, Ray), Foxx plays the Hollywood hopeful employed at the King’s Tower hotel. Garcelle Beauvais is his alluring (look but don’t touch!) coworker, while Christopher P. Duncan plays Jamie’s nemesis, the hotel accountant. Add in Ellia English and Garrett Morris as Jamie’s aunt and uncle who open their hearts – and hotel – to him, and get ready to check in for some fresh, five-star fun!
