Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Needing a benefit speaker in a hurry, George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley) tries to engage the services of actor Billy Dee Williams (playing himself). At first intent upon hiring a celebrity impersonator, George lands an audience with Williams by posing as Alex Haley. Unfortunately, George's housekeeper Florence (Marla Gibbs) is convinced that the "real" Billy Dee is a phony -- and she intends to vent the full wrath of her scathing wit upon the hapless movie star.
