First, there was Public Enemy, in which Flavor Flav (né William Drayton) was the hyperactive comic relief for the iconic '80s rap group. Then, Flav reemerged in VH-1's reality lineup, most recently as the eligible bachelor of Flavor of Love. Now, the hip-hop artist turned reality maven is starring in his first scripted series, MyNetworkTV's Under One Roof (tonight at 8pm/ET). In the show, Flav plays Calvster Hill, an ex-con who moves in with his wealthy brother (Kelly Perine) and his family after being released from jail, and proceeds to butt heads and turn the household upside down. If this sounds familiar, it's because it is — one of the show's producers, Darryl Quarles, was also one of the minds behind Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Flav discussed what defines the new show, what his biggest hurdles were going from reality to a sitcom, and what he's scheming for his next move.

Flava Flaaaaaaaav! Yes, it looks like Flav has been working on his Hollywood street cred—and a guest appearance on Conan is a great starting point. The reality star appeared on the show last week discussing his unique sense of style. So what’s with the bear hat?

Hip-hop’s bachelor raps about why Flavor of Love 3 (premiering tonight at 9 pm/ET on VH1) is bananas.
I'm all about finding my true soul mate. And after two TV seasons of dating girls — and refereeing catfights — on my VH1 show, Flavor of Love, I'm still looking for her. The winners of Seasons 1 (Hoopz) and 2 (Deelishis) didn't work out, but that's all right. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of people before you find “the one.” For everybody, there is somebody. The name of the game is K-I-M. Keep. It. Moving.
You've got to upgrade. So I changed some things up in Season 3, and it's definitely going to be bananas. Let me put it this way: It's — wow — a whole different look. Some of the events are different. And I got in positions that you wouldn't expect Flavor Flav to be in. I'm going skydiving and chartering planes to take girl

Flavor Flav is already the master of hip-hop and finding love in unlikely places. Starting this spring, he's tackling new turf as the star of Under One Roof, a new comedy to debut on MyNetworkTV.Taking a page out of Bel-Air, Flav's set to play Calvster Hill, an ex-con who moves in with his rich, conservative brother Walter, played by Kelly Perine. Although Calvster's no prince — he'll be bringing his tough pals to the Hill home and teaching his nephew gangsta rap, for starters — guesses are that Flav will likely win us over. And what does the former playboy say about his foray into comedy TV? "[We] are about to blow this out of the water." — Anna Dimond
