==Synopsis==
Jamie King ([[Jamie Foxx]]) is an aspiring [[musician]] from [[Terrell, Texas]], who has come to [[Los Angeles]] to pursue a career in entertainment. To support himself, he worked at his family's hotel, the financially strapped King's Tower, which is owned by his aunt and uncle, Aunt Helen and Uncle Junior King ([[Ellia English]] and [[Garrett Morris]]).
Among his co-workers during the series' run were the beautiful and intelligent front desk clerk Francesca "Fancy" Monroe ([[Garcelle Beauvais]]) and Jamie's high-strung, stuffed-shirt, "[[bourgeoisie|bourgeois]]" nemesis Braxton P. Hartnabrig ([[Christopher B. Duncan]]), who works as an accountant for the King's Tower.
Jamie's romantic overtures toward Fancy were mostly unrequited until the final two seasons, when the two began to tentatively date and eventually became engaged and finally married. Braxton, who generally served as the brunt of Jamie's insults, was known to get in a few digs of his own as the series progressed
