Nino Brown Isn't Very Popular Among Daytime Televison Audiences

I'm sure Ellen DeGeneres' audience is filled with nice, wholesome people, but they seriously need to educate themselves about classic movies. Jamie Foxx found out the hard way when his New Jack City joke fell flat. Although, it's not like he's not used to his jokes falling flat in front of an audience of white women.

To celebrate, "I'm going to get an electric blue suit on – no shirt. Mohawk," says Foxx. "I'm going to start at Ellen and get to Miami. Gotta get that salsa."

For his road trip, "I'm gonna do it New Jack City thing, because that's my favorite movie. So I'm doing like Wesley Snipes. I'm going to be Nino Brown," says the Sagittarian.

"Anybody?" Foxx queries the audience on its knowledge of the movie – which apparently is negligible. "I guess not," says Foxx. "New Jack City. Yeah. Plus, he had the best lines in that movie … 'See ya, I wouldn't want to be ya.' "

"That's gotta come back," DeGeneres dryly quips about the old expression.

If Wesley Snipes ever reclaims enough fame to be invited on daytime talk shows, maybe he can teach them a little bit about Nino Brown.

To celebrate, “I’m going to get an electric blue suit on – no shirt. Mohawk,” says Foxx. “I’m going to start at Ellen and get to Miami. Gotta get that salsa.”

Wow…

That first paragraph alone had me scratching my head in confusion. What the hell? Salsa? What?

I've gotta be honest: I barely know what the hell he's talking about and I'm the farthest thing from a white, middle-aged woman.

The funniest part about all of this is that he used part of the same joke on Tavis Smiley and they were quoting the movie back and forth to each other and cracking up! It was absolutely priceless! He just didn't know his audience that well. Middle America doesn't know Nino Brown like that!

I want to be a New Jack hustla when I grow up.
