Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

• An instance of breaking the fourth wall occurred in the episode Traffic School Daze, where Fancy says to Jamie that "I wonder who watches the hotel when we're not here." Jamie replies, "No one, this is a TV show." Jamie has also said that he wishes he had his own television show.

• Jamie King's name is also a name of a real life choreographer.

• This was one of the last African-American sitcoms to be shot on video.

• Jamie and Fancy eventually "hooked up" on the show.

• On one episode Jamie said to Fancy, " Why don't you go back to your other job, Paper, Plastic?"

• On the episode The Pilot Jamie pretended to be R. Kelly, and even performed a song he called Big Toe.

• Jamie on the show said that he wanted to become an entertainer, specifically a singer. Ironically, he achieved these goals in real life.

• Jamie Foxx really comes from Terrell, Texas.

• In the show Foxx plays "Tyrone Coppel" a newsreporter. With Quotes such as "It's All Good", "I'm Bout It, Bout It", "The Heezy Fa Sheezy", and "Would You Like Some in You" Tyrone Coppel was basically the black version of Ted Koppel.

• On the first episode, Jamie states his actual birthday, 12/13/67

• On several episodes singer Gladys Knight plays Jamie's mother who is a traveling entertainer

• In the episode "Men-o-Pause", when Fancy, Jamie, and Braxton try to get Helen and Jr. back together, the song that Fancy and Braxton ("Doin' it in the park, doin it after dark, ooooh yea") were singing was the Blackbyrd's hit "Rock Creek Park"

• In the episode "Lonesome Cow-Bro" when Thick Neck said to Florence (Fancy's ancestor) that she's going to dance her to sleep, that was mainly a reference to "Jabba the Hutt" in "Star Wars episode VI Return of the Jedi" as Jabba likes to be amused from his "Twi'lek Hookers" dancing him to sleep. Also when "Jeramiah" drove in to the King's Towers in the Chevrolet Impala, Thick Neck said "What kind of contraption is that?" "J.R Junior King" (Junior King's ancestor) said "Looks like some kind of Time Machine.". This is probably a homage to Back to the Future with the name DeLorian
