Finding Your Roots,
began this month. The Jan. 19
episode featured three African Americans, including
comedian Maya Rudolph, 43. Her mother, African
American singer Minnie Riperton died when Rudolph
was 6, and Rudolph was raised by her Jewish father,
composer and producer Richard Rudolph, now
69. The program, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr.,
explored both her African American roots (her
lineage is traced back to a 5-year-old slave on a
Kentucky plantation) and her Jewish roots traced
back to Vilna, Lithuania; her great-grandfather Judel
Rudashevsky traveled to America at age 21, changed
his name to Julias Rudolph and became a founding
member of Congregation Beth Shalom in Pittsburgh,
a Conservative synagogue that still exists today. (By
the way, the Jan. 26 episode featured the ancestry
of Norman Lear, 93, the creator of many hit shows,
including All in the Family, and the Feb. 2 show will
feature famous architect Frank Gehry, 86.) As I
ve
noted before, past episodes of PBS shows, including
this series, are viewable online for free.
Rashida Jones, 39, the multi-talented daughter
of actress Peggy Lipton, 69, and legendary African
American musician and producer Quincy Jones, is the
titular star of the new TBS series Angie Tribeca. It
s a
straight-out comedy send-up of police shows, simi-
lar to the Police Squad TV show and the Naked Gun
movies. The first 10 episodes were shown on TBS Jan.
17-18, but you can view them all via On Demand or
online (free). The next 10 episodes are being shown
weekly, starting Monday, Jan. 25. And, yes, Rashida
was raised Jewish, too. *
