Sherman's Showcase 1.01

Meet Sherman

John Legend introduces Sherman's Showcase, a show that originally aired in the early 1970s. Sherman's Showcase was a variety show. There is some background provided about Sherman's father, who was also in the entertainment business. There is an interview with Alex Haley. There are a few musical performances.

Sherman's show is a love letter to and a spoof of shows like Solid Gold and Soul Train, to name a few. It is very tongue in cheek. There are clips form the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond.

I enjoyed this very much. My description can't capture the spirit of this show but I really enjoyed watching it. I can't stop here. I will be be watching more of this show in the near future.

Sherman was played by Bashir Salahuddin. He was also in GLOW where he played Keith Bang, the referee.
