Overview
Hilarious single guy Shawn Wayne has a problem . . . actually he has three problems: (1) his girlfriend, a no-nonsense TV star, Dawn, expects that the New Year's broadcast of her new BET talk show will produce a long-awaited proposal from Shawn; (2) his "sort-of" ex-girlfriend, the shapely, seductive Troi, announces she's pregnant . . . and she's coming to join Shawn in D.C.; (3) Shawn doesn't know if the baby is his (though he would never deny it). . . . He doesn't know if he's ready to be a dad, or if he should tell Dawn—he simply can't afford to risk losing his one and only soul mate without first knowing he is, indeed, the father.
Shawn's embarrassing, nationally televised confession is the centerpiece of a laugh-out-loud tale that includes the Official "Baby Mama" Checklist, Why Men Are the Lost Quotient, and What It Takes to Be a Dad Inventory.
With Whitfield's trademark witty, fast-paced style, Dad Interrupted brings back Donnie, the enterprising recovering crack addict, who now works as a drug counselor; Kelly, whose crush on Shawn may finally be realized; Alan, Kelly's "boy-toy" M.D. boyfriend; and Shawn's lovable parents, who spin their special brand of advice and wisdom from the great beyond. They all have a unique take on what Shawn should do it and, more important, whom he should do it with . . . Dawn or Troi?
