Plot

Most creator-driven TV cartoon series merely reflect the tastes of their producers. Kid Notorious was the first cartoon series inspired by the life of its producer -- Hollywood movie mogul Robert Evans, the man responsible for such classics as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, and Chinatown. Evans himself supplied the voice for his animated alter-ego, just as Evans' real-life butler, Alan Selka, was heard as "Kid Notorious"' faithful retainer "English." Rounding out the cast was the obligatory sassy black maid Tollie Mae, voiced by comedienne Niecy Nash. Befitting its inspiration, Kid Notorious was festooned with inside showbiz references, dripping sarcasm, and casual profanity. Befitting its unsuitability for children, the series was seen on the Comedy Central network, beginning October 22, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Kid Notorious is an animated television series that aired for nine weeks (October 2003 to December 2003) on Comedy Central and is currently running on the UK version of Adult Swim. It starred Hollywood film producer Robert Evans as himself. Episode plots were often bizarre and absurdist in nature, featuring Evans as a James Bond type character. Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash also appeared on the show as himself. The show was directed by Pete Michels.

Characters

  • Robert "Kid Notorious" Evans (himself), a playboy Hollywood producer who finds himself mixed up in bizarre and absurd situations but never loses his cool.
  • Tollie Mae (Niecy Nash), Evans' loud and obese maid. Spends most of her time binge eating chocolate and lusting after Denzel Washington. Her catchphrase is "Not in my job description." Tollie Mae was named for Tollie Mae Wilson, who was Evans' housekeeper at the time of his marriage to Ali MacGraw.
  • Alan "English" Selka (himself), Evans' long suffering butler. A running gag involves Puss Puss farting into his face. Voiced by Evans' real life butler, Alan Selka, who is reportedly very much like his character in real life.
  • Puss Puss, Evans' beloved cat, which follows him wherever he goes; she plays chess and smokes marijuana. Puss has a hate-hate relationship with English which has included pistol-whipping, neck crushing, releasing flatulence into face and placing piranha in the sauna.
  • Saul "Slash" Hudson (himself), the former lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses. As in real life, Slash is Evans' close friend and next-door neighbor.
  • Donald Rumsfeld (Billy West), the United States Secretary of Defense at the time. He is depicted as a sidekick and poker buddy of Evans and Slash.
