Popular radio personality Rickey Smiley is coming to a television near you soon with the help of Roger Bobb‘s (BobbCat Productions) and TVOne.
Smiley revealed on his morning show site a few weeks ago, that he had a tv show in development:
You listen to him weekdays on the radio, but you will be able to see Rickey Smiley starring on TV One in his very own sitcom!
“The Rickey Smiley Show” is currently in development, and will focus on a character loosely based on Rickey Smiley who is a radio personality living in Atlanta raising four adopted children.
Up until now, I haven’t really heard much about the new show, but my sources revealed today that Ray-J is currently in Atlanta and was spotted taping alongside Smiley on the set of the new show.
Details below…
Ray-J reportedly has a recurring role on the upcoming television show, which is loosely based on Rickey Smiley’s life.
The show is currently in production and a few pilots are being shot this week. Some have referred to Smiley’s new sitcom as a variety show, while other’s have called it a scripted series.
My sources say Ray-J will appear as a “co-host” so I’m assuming it will be in the variety realm (and that’s a huge assumption).
Anywhoo… “The Rickey Smiley Show” is in still in development so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the official format will be.
TVOne has picked up the show, however a premiere date has not yet been revealed.
Will you be tuning in to watch Rickey Smiley, Ray-J and the crew act a fool on air?

I am sure Rickey will be funny! Ray J, however…?
Seriously Ray J? Give some other TALENTED actors out there a chance!
Ray J is so fuckin wack….he is steady tryna hang on to stay relevant.
Ray J? Really? Why?
Rickey Smiley is so funny but so many of his jokes are about southern churches. I grew up in a church atmosphere just not a southern one, so I look to my friends for clues. I hope his show has more wide range skits.
Rickey Smiley is NOT funny! I won’t be watching.
That show with Tatyanna (sp?) Ali was so NOT funny. TV One is a good network but they need to spend more time developing their shows.
