LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - BRANDY NORWOOD


BRANDY NORWOOD

AS SEEN IN:
'Moesha'
["Moesha Meets Brandy"]


From TV.com:
After Kim forgets to purchase tickets to a sold-out concert featuring R&B singer Brandy, Moesha decides to spend her weekend alone with her new beau, Aaron, a college student whom she met over the summer. But when Moesha starts to push the relationship further (mainly due to her strange suggestions), the two break up. Later, Moesha, Kim, Niecy and Hakeem attempt to get into the concert. Backstage, Moesha meets Brandy who gives her some advice.


O'BSERVATIONS:
This head trip in which a TV character meets the person who played them is a time-honored tradition in Toobworld. Here are a few other examples:
  • Lucy Carter met Lucille Ball - 'Here's Lucy'
  • Mork met Robin Williams - 'Mork & Mindy'
  • Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton met Jackie Gleason and Art Carney during an episode of 'The Honeymooners'.
  • Dean Martin played his own stand-in, Ed Feldman. This was in Lucille Ball's favorite episode ever, "Lucy Dates Dean Martin", on 'The Lucy Show'.
  • During 'The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper' on 'Charlie's Angels', an obnoxious guy named Herbert Brubaker III was kidnapped instead of the star. Sammy played both roles.
  • Fred Sanford met Redd Foxx in an episode of 'Sanford And Son', which we'll be featuring later this month.
  • And over in the Tooniverse, Homer Simpson met Dan Castellenata (the actor who provides his voice) on an episode of 'The Simpsons'.
BCnU!
