To Guest Star In Hilarious New Series
IFC’s new variety sketch show Sherman’s Showcase premieres Wednesday, July 31 at 10/9c. The series created by and starring comedy duo Diallo Riddle (Marlon, Rise) and Bashir Salahuddin (GLOW, Snatched) and executive produced by John Legend’s Get Lifted Film Co. and RadicalMedia features a who’s who of movies, music, sports and entertainment, the series boasts two EGOT winners, and multiple award-winning artists, actors and entertainers including Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor, Common, Morris Day, Tiffany Haddish, Lil Rel Howery, Quincy Jones, Mike Judge, Kenny and Keith Lucas, John Legend, Nigel Lythgoe, Curt Menefee, Vic Mensa, Tawny Newsome, Ne-Yo, Ray Parker, Jr., Mario Van Peebles, Damon Wayans, Jr., Marlon Wayans and Bresha Webb.
Inspired by shows like “Solid Gold”, “Soul Train” and “Laugh-In,” Sherman’s Showcase travels through time via music and clips drawn from the forty-year library of a legendary (fictional) musical variety show. Each week, the vault opens for viewers to experience the chaotic comedy and amazing musical numbers from the forty-year (made-up) history of the show. Whether it’s a real artist playing a fake character, or a comedian playing a real artist, it’s always unconventional, irreverent, and most of all, funny.
The premiere episode, “Meet Sherman” introduces Sherman McDaniels, host of Sherman's Showcase. John Legend walks us through a history of The Showcase — from Sherman's parentage to the origin of the show, with highlights throughout the show’s run from 1972-present day.
