Kwame Kilpatrick

One of the show's most famous characters is Chuck's impression of former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, especially after Kilpatrick began running into scandal and legal trouble. "Kwame" is very self-absorbed, flashy, has a strong sexual attraction to Lisa Way, enjoys bragging about his vast wealth and influence and makes no attempt to conceal the shady activities he engages in, such as bragging about how he has a flat-screen TV in his jail cell because "Kwame's got the hook-up!" Whenever Dave asks him about the latest legal trouble or scandal he's involved in, he always blames it on some kind of conspiracy seeking to undermine his mayoralty. "Kwame's" appearances have become much more sporadic since the beginning of Dave Bing's mayoral term, but he still appears whenever Kilpatrick is in the news, such as when he published his memoirs in 2011.
