Read more about Bernie Mac at: Wikipedia Official Site: Fox Bernie "Mac" McCullough (born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough) is a character loosely based on comic actor Bernie Mac from the Fox sitcom The Bernie Mac Show which ran from 2001-2006. Bernard Jeffrey McCullough was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised by his mother, "Big Mama". He barely knew his father and he had two sisters, Bernita (Niecy Nash) and Stacy, and an older brother, Carl (Glynn Turman), and a younger brother, Darryl. In the episode "Sweet Home Chicago", Bernie discovers that his father was really his "Uncle" Ellister. He decided he wanted to be a comedian. While delivering a package to a friendly customer, he met his future wife Wanda (Kellita Smith). He had a rough start but he eventually won her heart and they later married. When Bernie's career took off they moved to Los Angeles. During that time, Bernie lived a happy life with his beautiful wife, but although it seemed bad at first, their lives filled with joy throughout a five year period. In the pilot, he has to take in his sisters three children: Jordan (Jeremy Suarez), Bryana (Dee Dee Davis) and Vanessa (Camille Winbush). At first his patience is put to the test on a daily basis, especially from Vanessa's nasty attitude and Jordan constantly crying and urinating on himself. He commonly made threats about "Bust yo head 'til the white meat shows!" and "Excuse me, America...I gotta go stunt one of them kids growth". Mac would always speak to the audience and address them as "America". The show is somewhat of a spoof of a reality series. |
