Some cool TV news... Fox has given a script commitment to Eat Pray Thug, a comedy based on the real life of rapper Himanshu "Heems" Suri (formerly of Das Racist), with Utkarsh Ambudkar attached to star.
Utkarsh Ambudkar To Star In Fox Comedy 'Eat Pray Thug' Inspired By Rapper Heems
Executive produced by Sanjay Shah, who is currently a writer on Fresh Off The Boat, Eat Pray Thug is inspired by Heems' relationship with his parents. The single-camera comedy centers on a successful rapper who, like Heems, lives with his Indian American parents in Queens.
I love it. If this is riding the current wave of people of color on television, keeping bringing it.
