*The Varnell Hill Show is the latest from Bently Kyle Evans, co-creator of the Martin and Jamie Foxx sitcom classics. The Varnell Hill show is presented by BET Productions and is executive produced by Martin Lawrence, who also makes a guest starring appearance in two episodes as the menacing Mr. Dupree.
The show stars the multi-faceted Tommy Davidson as Varnell Hill, an effervescent late night TV host who needs an image revamp to stay up to date with the current late-night audience.
Varnell is assigned a new producer Rachel Perkns, played by Wendy Raquel Robinson. Miss Perkins attempts to bring Varnell forward with much protesting from the host. Kym Whitley gives the usual dose of witty charm as Varnell’s saucy assistant Kim Jones.
Scene and Heard hosted a star-studded screening in West Hollywood. Martin Lawrence was in attendance. He essentially passed the torch to the next generation of comics, writers and producers to build upon what he and Bently Kyle Evans started with the Martin show and other comic landscapes in the 1990s.
