JAMIE FOXX: I MIGHT NEED SECURITY (TV)
Summary
This stand-up comedy special, recorded at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California, features actor and comedian Jamie Foxx. Topics discussed include: his "paranoia" about the Taliban, especially while aboard airplanes; the questionable literacy of war-loving President George W. Bush; why former President Clinton would have done a better job handling 9/11 and its aftermath; Foxx's preference for basketball star Shaquille O'Neal as a political leader; singer Whitney Houston's strange behavior and likely drug abuse; her surprising comments about husband Bobby Brown; the antics of other celebrities, including Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson and the intimidating Mike Tyson; his role in "Any Given Sunday" (1999) and on-set feud with co-star LL Cool J, who seemed to take their characters' football rivalry to heart; his run-in with an angry Jennifer Lopez and a defensive Puff Daddy, both of whom were displeased with his "Saturday Night Live" jokes about the famous couple; the emphatic acting style of Foxx's "Sunday" co-star Al Pacino; his role in "Ali" (2001) alongside Will Smith; his trip to Africa and sense of surprise at many culture elements; nightlife in Africa; observing wild animals, including the dominating "king of the jungle"; strange drug habits in "white Hollywood"; his discomfort with his own reaction to meeting legendary musician Prince; unusual encounters with amorous female fans; and his dissatisfying ménage à trois at the Playboy Mansion.
