Jamie Foxx has landed another TV gig where he and his daughter, Corinne Foxx, have agreed to host a new guessing game, We Are Family, on FOX.
According to Deadline, the series will premiere in 2024 and is the entertainer’s first project announced since it was revealed by Corinne that he’s left the hospital and is on the road to recovery from his medical complication in April.
Relatives of celebrities will team up with their famous kin (who are hidden while they perform duets) and the live audience tries to figure out who exactly they’re related to through rounds of clues and gameplay.
Foxx is also an executive producer on the new show.
“We are thrilled to be developing We Are Family with Jeff Apploff and our friends at Fox Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of Beat Shazam,” said Jamie and Corinne Foxx. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
It’s been a scary month for the Academy Award-winning actor who was hospitalized with an unknown medical complication on April 12 while in Atlanta filming for Netflix’s Back in Action.
“From the Foxx Family. We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Corinne said in a statement at the time. “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
After several conflicting reports regarding Jamie’s health last week, Corinne set the record straight that her father had been out of the hospital for weeks and was recuperating.
“Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on May 12. “In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support.”
There was an outpouring of support in recent weeks from fans and friends alike as Tyler, The Creator and Kid Cudi sent their well-wishes to the multi-hyphenate entertainer.
They put anything on TV these days. If you can’t make it in Hollywood today with all of these bullshit shows and outlets, then you need to get another job.
Lol. This fool can’t even speak yet, been in a in patient medical rehab since his stroke. They might wanna pump the breaks on giving him any deals until they find out if his speech comes back or not.
