This comic spoof is spun off from a character that first appeared on
The Chris Rock Show, and is written and directed by
Louis C.K., one of that show's producers.
Lance Crouther stars as Pootie Tang, a crime fighting superhero and recording artist who speaks in an unintelligible gibberish that seems to be a combination of Ebonics and street slang. Despite his communication problem, Pootie is a hero to children, whom he attempts to protect from the evil Dick Lecter (
Robert Vaughn), a corporate fat cat out to corrupt America's youth with alcohol, tobacco, and junk food. Pootie also runs up against an artistic imitator (
David Cross) and a sleazy recording executive (
Andy Richter)
Pootie Tang co-stars
Chris Rock,
Dave Attell, and
Bob Costas and
Conan O'Brien as themselves.
