Rickey Smiley Taking To Hulu With ‘Fool-ish’
Rickey Smiley is set to premiere his first comedy special in over a decade, titled Fool-ish, on Hulu on May 30. The special, taped in Birmingham, Alabama, showcases Smiley’s trademark humor, characters, and satire on life and pop culture.
“I knew after over ten years I had to offer something that would satisfy my fans,” Smiley said of the special. “I’ve been through a lot of transformation and trauma these past few years and I was determined to get through it and think that I will have a deeper connection with my audience from my experiences. We can find humor in so much of life. FOOL-ISH is for people of all ages, from those who grew up playing with Etch A Sketch to those who were raised on iPads.”
The special is Smiley’s first since his 2011 hour Open Casket Sharp, as well as the first ever for director David E. Talbert, who reunited with Smiley following their work on the films Baggage Claim and First Sunday.
