Bamboozled
The next day, Delacroix and his assistant Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett Smith) talk. They've decided Manray is the solution to his problem. Delacroix plans to write a show that will be so 'offensive and racist,' it will prove his point that the network only wants to see black buffoons on the air. Delacroix simply hopes to be fired so he can be let go of his contract with CNS. Manray and Womack ask at the receptionist's desk for a 'Delapoint' and the men working there tell them to step outside. However, Sloan steps into the lobby, sees what's happening, and escorts Manray and Womack to Delacroix's office. Delacroix explains to them that he has an idea for a television pilot, and they can make money with it. His main request is that Manray changes his name to Mantan, in an apparent homage to black character actor Mantan Moreland.
