showrunner of Bounce TV’s comedy “Johnson.”
Having recently launched its second season, the Atlanta-set hit series, executive produced by Cedric the Entertainer, follows four Black men who met in grade school and have remained best friends: Omar (Jones), Greg (Deji LaRay), Keith (Philip A. Smithey) and Jarvis (Derrex Brady). They all just so happen to have the same last name, Johnson, but are no relation. After 25 years of friendship, they are finding themselves in vastly different places in their lives as they confront, and sometimes find humor in, current controversial social issues from the Black man’s perspective, ranging from love and marriage to business, politics and religion.
