I remember the show. It was filmed at The Apollo in Harlem and this bloke you mentioned wiped the floor with the competition each week - it was like "Harlem's got Talent" all the locals went on and sang a lot of Gospel and in fact this bloke used to go on and sing "God Bless the Child" if they were rubbish they'd boo them off. Fashion was just like Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" film and I think he stole 90% ofthe characters for the film from that show too.
