Yes, excuse you. Being a legend does not equate to having A-list popularity. If it did, all of our legends would be at the top of the charts right now but sadly they are not. Because the producers chose an unknown for the lead role, they have to rely on the supporting cast to draw in the audience. NONE of these performers are big draws for television with the exception of maybe Queen Latifah. This special will tank.
