JAMIE SLAMMED FOR ‘JEFFERSONS’ SCREWUP!
A “MORTIFIED” Jamie Foxx has been blasted for flubbing his portrayal of TV character George Jefferson on the recent live airing of “The Jeffersons” and “All in the Family!” “Jamie wanted to pay tribute to the iconic ’70s shows. Instead, he looked like he didn’t even bother rehearsing!” snitched an insider.
The broadcast featured Woody Harrelson, Marisa Tomei and Jamie reprising the roles made legendary by Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton and Sherman Hemsley, using the original series’ scripts. “Jamie could have seen those shows a thousand times and he STILL didn’t get his lines right,” a source complained. “It’s an insult to the original shows and stars!
“Everyone in Hollywood believes he should have given it a better effort.”
