The Smith's Come to Television
By Kristin Vaughan, BET.com Staff Writer
Updated on May 15, 2003 -- Megatalented couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith will produce a new sitcom called, "All of Us," that will appear in UPN's new fall television lineup, UPN announced Thursday.
An excited Pinkett Smith spilled the beans a little early when she appeared as a guest on "Late Night with David Letterman" on Tuesday (May 13). She told the late night talk show host that she had just received a call that delivered the good news that a new television show based on her and megastar husband, Will Smith's, family life "just got picked up."
"All of Us," which the Smith's will produce together, is a blended family comedy that is based on the life of the hot celebrity couple.
"The show is about a wife and man and new wife trying to get along" for the sake and love of a little boy, Pinkett Smith told Letterman on Tuesday. Smith and his first wife, Sheree Zampino, had a son, Trey, before they divorced in 1995 and he remarried Pinkett Smith in 1997.
Pinkett Smith said that television is in need of more shows that deal with families that have been through divorce and blended families formed after remarriage. "Sheree and I have done such a good job of trying to overcome differences like two grown women."
"Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce and we don't have enough" shows that deal with it, Pinkett Smith said.
"All of Us" will be part of a new Tuesday night comedy lineup on UPN.
