Little known fact about Edison County, Michigan:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

It was the setting for the 1994 family comedy Shazam, starring the late comedian Sinbad as a rapping genie.

Don’t believe me? Look it up.

But I googled him, and it seems like he is still alive. He is 64.

5. That's a hell of a rabbit hole I don't want to go down again.

But it's amazing.

7. For anyone who took this seriously,

it IS a joke, not some kooky conspiracy theory. Pretty funny one as well!

8. I actually did not know about the stroke part.

And I feel a little bit bad in retrospect. But it still works for the Mandela Effect purposes nonetheless.

Glad he has pulled through.

All the best wishes for a full recovery, Sinbad. If you actually read DU.

Which you probably don’t.

But maybe you do.

9. I didn't know that either

Actually I barely noticed the reference to the "late" Sinbad. I found the Edison County being the setting for a 1994 sitcom very funny though. Apparently someone took that a bit too literally, as if you were saying Edison County really exists.

Good to hear that Sinbad is recovering. I really didn't know he'd had a stroke recently.

11. Thanks for the info. I went looking for it and haven't got it yet

But I did find that Sinbad has two specials at least on Prime.

I don’t know if viewership helps him but he is in a rough spot.
