Martin, Season 1

Standup comedian Martin Lawrence is now best known from the Bad Boys and Big Momma's House movie franchises, but Martin is the vehicle that made him a star. Lawrence plays Martin Payne, a wisecracking Detroit radio talk show host popular with his listeners because of his brash on-air style and womanizing reputation. Off the air, however, he has a nurturing, caring relationship with Gina Waters (Tisha Campbell), a young executive. When he's with Gina, Martin reveals the sweet, sensitive side of his personality, but his best friends tease him that Gina has turned him into a wimp, and Gina's best friend reminds her that Martin can be a typical macho hothead.
