"When I first moved to California I was introduced to Ralph Farquhar (one of the creators of The Proud Family, Moesha, The Parker’s etc)," Keke shared on Instagram. "He took a chance on me and he landed me this pilot with Disney Channel that didn’t get picked up called Keke & Jamal."
The 26-year-old revealed that the show was "loosely based" on her life. "A little girl named Keke with big dreams of being an entertainer and her tight nit family," she explained.
Keke then shared some clips from the show, including the title sequence. If the house set looks familiar, that's because it was recycled from That's So Raven. "That was when I first met Raven Symone," Keke wrote. "True dream come true for me and like a fairytale."
Along with Keke, Keke & Jamal starred Vanessa Hudgens pre-High School Musical as well as Andre Jamal Kinney, who went on to star in Hannah Montana. Andre shared some clips from the pilot as well. In his post, he revealed that around the same time he had also shot a pilot for Disney with Zac Efron.
Of course, Keke & Jamal never got picked up, but Keke, Andre, and Vanessa all seemed to have done more than OK for themselves nonetheless.
It seems like things have come around full circle for Palmer, as the actor will be voicing a new character for its upcoming Disney+ reboot, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, based on the original Disney Channel series. In fact, similar to Palmer's story, The Proud Family was very nearly a Nickelodeon series! Palmer will also be hosting the 2020 MTV VMAs!
