Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of The Boondocks
Tyler Perry
Both as a comic strip and a cartoon series, The Boondocks called out a lot of folks, including Tyler Perry. In the “Pause” episode, a character named Winston Jerome and a dancing Ma Duke symbolized Perry and his famous character Madea. This episode was supposed to open the season, but it was pushed back. The Winston Jerome character also initially had a name that more closely resembled Perry’s, but the network had McGruder change it.
