Coming to America star Tommy Davidson headlines House of Laffs in Wilmington

Editor s note: This interview has been trimmed for length. Everyone knows Eddie Murphy is back with his new, long-awaited comedy film “Coming 2 America.” But not as many folks know Murphy created a TV show in 1989 based on the original 1988 hit film. That obscure show is something comedy legend Tommy Davidson is very familiar with. After all, he was tapped to star in the CBS pilot, which never took off. Thirty years later, Davidson is pleased more people are discovering the show, now streaming on YouTube. “I m glad that came to light because Eddie Murphy doesn t put me in any of his movies, and I haven t worked with him since then. It just feels good to be able to be included in that project I did and get a little bit of light on me,” said Davidson, who’s going to headline five shows at the new House of Laffs comedy lounge in Wilmington Friday through Sunday.

FAVORITE BOOKS: “Gabe & His Green Thumb” by David Miller. “This is a great read for children to understand the importance of fresh vegetables and the power of growing food.

It s an early-life introduction to life-saving, healthy eating concepts like those introduced in some of my other favorite books like “Heal Thyself” by Queen Afua.
