Nene Leakes NEW Show: ‘The New Normal’

Recently, it was announced that Nene Leakes was teaming up with Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, for a new show, The New Normal, on NBC. Well, the official trailer has finally dropped and I have to say it looks quite interesting.

The show is about a woman who offers to be a surrogate for a gay couple trying to have a child so she can raise money to go to law school. Nene plays one of the men’s assistant, and is bringing all the sass and neck popping to the role. This reminds me about the portrayal of the angry black female I spoke about in yesterday’s blog post on Sheree Whitfield.

Watch the trailer after the jump and tell me if you think Nene’s character is too stereotypical and if you think she’ll do well.

    That seems as though that’s Nene Leaksn character anyway whether it’s a reality show or not. I personally don’t think it’s sterotypical. Plus, those political references are things that I thought of as I was watching the trailer.

    LOL! True. She had a right to go off, but is she ALWAYS going to go off?

    If she is, then NBC or Ryan Murphy needs to think about cutting some of those scenes because at some point, it’s going to become unbearable.

    If she does this persistently, NBC or Ryan Murphy will need to cut down because at some point, it can become unbearable.
