okay it's okay what is going on here oh
children children I would love for you
to meet
your brother
coming to you live from the news Monday
AKA my home office I'm your host KB and
this is before you stream I'm here to
help bring you up to speed on what
happened in your favorite TV shows and
movies so that you're totally prepped
before any New Seasons or sequels
dropped I'll talk about the classic love
triangles we know the ones we ship and
the iconic OMG and WTF moments that we
simply can't forget in this brand new
episode we are traveling back in time to
1988 when the OG Coming to America was
born
in preparation for the March 5th release
of the highly anticipated sequel coming
to America I'm giving you an unfiltered
look into the original characters and
the over-the-top escapades that paved
the way for our long overdue trip back
you must heed my words before I'm gone
my son
[Music]
now
you will be king
[Music]
but the throne has passed to a male heir
Hakeem it appears you have a son who
must be found prepare the Royal jet
we are going back to America oh hell no
your majesty so let's Dive In
when we first meet Prince Akeem he is an
entitled African prince the world at his
fingertips at the ripe old age of 21
Prince Akeem is already tired of his
lavish life of being waited on hand and
foot he confides in his parents and best
well only friend and trusted advisor
Simi that he wants to focus his
attention on finding a true love match
Prince Akeem wants more than an
attractive arm piece he wants a wife who
is a partner someone who is bold
independent and loves him for him not
his outstanding amount of wealth
unlimited resources or his shiny Crown
his father King Jaffe would rather Akeem
get to the business of producing no
heirs so Akeem dips as fast as he can
narrowly escaping the throes of an
arranged marriage and follows his heart
to New York City he lands in Queens
quite literally because that is where
the airport is but also because it is
his Destiny along their Journey Prince
Akeem and Simmy meet no shortage of
memorable characters in New York but
none quite like the array of NYC women
they encounter on their quest to find
akeem's new wife and just when it came
to thought that being a prince was hard
he soon finds out that nothing is harder
than finding true love in New York City
and I know this from personal experience
but Akeem ends up seeing Lisa the
hard-working and Brilliant heir of
McDowell's
if Akeem wants to win Lisa's heart he
has to convince her to break up with
Jerry curl Drew slinging Daryl aka Mr
solglow himself and Akeem also has to
prove that he knows the value of hard
work and the Dollar by you guessed it
taking on a job at McDowell's now we
absolutely cannot confuse McDowell's
with the uh other golden arches that
shall not be named
it's clear that Akeem will do anything
to get with Lisa so when Daryl presses
too hard and takes things too far by
trying to control Lisa's life and future
Akeem swoops in deepens their friendship
and starts to subtly shoot his shot with
Lisa
against all NYC dating odds Akeem finds
true love but not without complications
like when Lisa's daddy kicks egotistical
Daryl to the curb in favor of its own
greed and wealth or of course when Lisa
has to meet her new soon to be zamundin
in-laws and the dads go head to head of
course but eventually Akeem lives
happily ever after with Lisa
so what can we expect from Coming to
America well for one thing all of your
faves are back but will it still be
jam-packed with all kinds of crazy
antics
if the new class of zamundin Royals have
anything to say about it you can bet
let's take a look
[Music]

pun here in this land how much child

wukanda wakanda is a fictional place not
