Flavor Flav Raises Da Roof in New Sitcom
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.
