Last night [Monday September 17, 2012] Atlanta Tastemakers walked the red carpet at the Buckhead Theatre to watch the premiere of Rickey Smiley’s new original comedy series “The Rickey Smiley Show.”

The comedian and syndicated radio host plays himself as he tackles the challenges of single fatherhood, while also balancing his radio career and personal life. Ray-J, who attended the premier last night, co-stars as Smiley’s radio producer Kenny, a character inspired by his real radio show regular, Head Krack. You’ll also see Smiley bring in some of his infamous characters he tends to portray in his stand-up act.

The Rickey Smiley Show debuts tonight [Tuesday September 18, 2012] on TVOne 9/8c. Check out who we spotted at the premiere inside.
