It starts as a 'Soul Train' parody and turns into something that's genuinely bizarre, inspired and funny as hell — why 'Sherman's Showcase' is the hidden gem of TV sketch comedy
is an hour-long special sprung from the heads of creators Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle, who introduced their variety-show parody to the former indie-movie cable channel in the summer of 2019. It’s a quick blast of the smart, savvy comedy these two writers, producers and comedians crafted over those first eight episodes; it also turns out to be a nice of bit of in-between-seasons filler, as IFC just announced.
