Anthony Anderson’s charming mama Doris Bowman has done a few projects in her time. From a single episode role as Doris in “Black-ish” to Flossie in “The Truth” and Dorothy in “Common Bond,” she’s been walking the showbiz walk. But the two have also been capturing hearts in their travel-focused show “Trippin’ with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris.” Per TV Insider, the show follows the duo as they adventure through Europe for six weeks.
In speaking to Today, Anderson told the outlet that Mama Doris always wanted to be an entertainer, which is part of the reason he loves to work with her. Although he quipped that Bowman would admit to being a bad actor, that isn’t stopping him from doing gigs with her.
“But because of my success in this game, and the relationships that I’ve built, I’m able to give my mother the opportunity that she never got,” Anderson told Today. “Now that she’s at a certain age, she’s comfortable in the skin that she’s in, and just being who she is. Just being her authentic self, the sky’s the limit for her.”
