FOX is giving sketch comedy another shot. The network announced its new fast-paced, half-hour sketch-comedy series IN THE FLOW WITH AFFION CROCKETT, hosted by and starring rising comedian Affion Crockett (Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out) and executive-produced by Academy Award and Grammy Award winner Jamie Foxx, will debut with a special one-hour series premiere Sunday, Aug. 14 (9pm eastern/8 central) on FOX. The series will move to its normal Sunday 9:30pm eastern/8:30 central timeslot on Sunday, August 21. Late night encores will air Saturdays at midnight eastern/11pm central beginning August 20.
In the vein of FOX’s groundbreaking and network-defining In Living Color, In The Flow with Affion Crockett presents a fresh take on pop culture with spoofs of movie trailers, commercials, TV shows, music videos and celebrities. The series will feature guest appearances by rapper/actor Snoop Dogg, music and fashion mogul Russell Simmons, singer Chris Brown, sports analyst Michael Strahan, actor Harry Shum Jr. (Glee), choreographer Lil’ C, actor/comedian JB Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm), actor David Koechner (The Office) and dance crew X-Mob, among others.

The series is executive-produced by Foxx, Todd Yasui, Marcus King, Jaime Rucker King, Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Mitch Hurwitz. Carl Jones serves as co-executive producer. Crockett, whose incisive web shorts have a cult following, also serves as a writer and producer.
