LOS ANGELES – Will Smith Productions has announced that founder and HMFIC, Will Smith, will play President Barack Obama in a television series entitled The Fresh Prince of D.C., which is scheduled to debut on CoLoursTV this fall.
“The Fresh Prince of D.C. will present a warm, comedic look at the adventures of the first black family to occupy the White House,” said Mr. Smith, 40.
“We are living in historical times,” Mr. Smith continued, “but I want to show that for all the cultural, political, economic, and racial importance of Mr. Obama’s historical election, he is not above satire, as long as it’s done by a brother like myself who knows what it means to grow up street.”
Although Mr. Smith would not disclose any details about The Fresh Prince of D.C., he did reveal that “Michelle, Barack, and the girls are taking an active interest” in casting for the half-hour comedy series.
“I got a booty text from Michelle the other day,” said Mr. Smith with a rakish twinkle in his eye. “No, not that kind of booty text. She was just asking me to choose someone to portray her who won’t make her butt look big. I told home girl not to worry about it.”
According to Mr. Smith, the president’s chief concern appears to be Mr. Smith’s ability to play basketball.
“Barack’s a little worried that I can’t play black enough,” laughed Mr. Smith. “I told him that if I could learn to box to play Mohammed Ali, I could learn to stick the J and master the no-look pass.
“Barack also wanted to know if the president was going to be able to dunk in The Fresh Prince of D.C. I told him that was cool with me, but we were going to need a stunt double because, like the president, I’ve got a touch of the white man’s disease—but at least he comes by it honestly.”
Mr. Smith said he got the idea for The Fresh Prince of D.C. after so many white people kept mistaking him for Mr. Obama.
“Maybe it’s the ears,” Mr. Smith chuckled.
Maybe it’s something more serious. Spike Lee, for one, sees The Fresh Prince of D.C. as Will Smith’s not so subtle announcement that he’s running for president in 2016.
“That brother don’t want to play the president,” said Mr. Lee. “He wants to be president. Barack beat him to the title of first black president, so Will’s looking to become the first really black president—or the first black Scientologist president.
In other news, a source close to Will Smith Productions told Postcards from the Pug Bus that Oprah Winfrey is in line to play Marian Robinson, the president’s mother in law, who moved into the White House with the Obamas. The source denied, however, that the role is payback for Ms. Winfrey’s behind-the-scenes work to get Mr. Obama elected.
