Bashir and Diallo have delivered a jam-packed new season full of sketches, songs, fashion statements, movie parodies, outrageous antics, and even a trip to Lagos. This block party of a sketch show is back and better than ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We worked so hard to make this season happen,&#8221; show creators Riddle and Salahuddin said in a statement. &#8220;We filmed during a Covid spike. Our writers&#8217; room was in a parking lot. We were wearing masks in the recording booth. It was insane. Still, somehow, we think we&#8217;ve topped Season 1. As our director Matthew Piedmont has said, we tried to only elevate the <em>Sherman&#8217;s Showcase<\/em> experience this season. And despite the challenges, the cast, crew, and a ton of dancers and stars still found their way to the studio where we shoot this show. Risking their lives. And ours. It was worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The acclaimed series <em>Sherman&#8217;s Showcase<\/em> features sketches, dancers, fake commercials, movie trailers, cultural nostalgia, the Funk Monster, A-list guest stars, and original songs (&#8220;Drop it Low for Jesus,&#8221; &#8220;Marina Del Ray&#8221;) that definitely climbed the fictional charts. Each episode is hosted by Sherman McDaniels as he takes viewers through time, via music and comedy drawn from the 50-year library of a legendary (but fictional) musical variety show.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sherman&#8217;s Showcase<\/em>&#8216;s first season is rated 100% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and is created by Bashir Salahuddin (Top Gun: Maverick, South Side) and Diallo Riddle (Marlon, South Side), who also star and executive produce. Emmy\u00ae and Tony\u00ae winner Mike Jackson, EGOT recipient John Legend, and Emmy\u00ae-winner and CEO of the management, media, and social impact company Friends at Work, Ty Stiklorious serve as executive producers through their Get Lifted Film Co. (La Land, Underground, Jesus Christ Superstar). Pete Aronson serves as executive producer, and Frank Scherma and Johnathan Meyers of RadicalMedia, the production company behind this year&#8217;s Academy Award-winning Best Documentary Film, also executive produce.
