Jamie Foxx To Bring Back ‘Showtime At The Apollo’



At a recent fundraising event dubbed “Apollo in the Hamptons”, actor/comedian/singer Jamie Foxx took to the stage to announce that he would be revamping the variety show that ran for 21-years at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem. Foxx will be the executive producer for the show which will be airing on BET Networks. Foxx, who was once booed off the stage, commented, The Apollo did it long before ‘American Idol,’ except the audience were the judges.”

The benefit raised $1 million for education programs in Harlem and included performances by Alicia Keys, Jon Bon Jovi and Apollo legends Ben E. King and Bettye LaVette.
