Cedric The Entertainer Spins Into New Show

TV Land said Cedric the Entertainer will star in his own sitcom when the network spins off his “Hot in Cleveland” character, Boyce “The Voice” Ballentine. The network’s June launch of the comedy “Have Faith” will highlight Cedric as an R&B star who, like Little Richard, Al Green and Joe Tex, becomes a preacher. Cedric will do his own vocals in the show which co-stars Niecy Nash as his wife Lolli. The character of Boyce Ballentine was introduced in “Hot in Cleveland,” whose co-star, Betty White, will make an early crossover appearance.
