[edit] First black woman in TV have own comedy show?

It says Jocelyn is the first black woman in the history of television in either the USA or the UK to be given her own solo comedy show. However, Whoopi Goldbreg had her own comedy show "Whoopi" in 2003 in the USA. Jocelyn is the first black woman in the history of television in the UK to have her own show, but not the USA.

The quote (now referenced) says the first "solo comedy sketch show". Whoopi is a sitcom, according to its article. SynergyBlades (talk) 14:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Age?

Bio says she was born in 1977 but the category is 1979 births - which is right? --Danny Darko 22:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Most sources say 1979. SynergyBlades (talk) 14:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Last name?

Isn't Jocelyn Jee Essien the correct spelling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.56.207.52 (talk) 16:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No, her agent's site gives it as a single 's'; see the references section. SynergyBlades (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
