Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins: Sally (Erin Cummings), a guest on Roscoe Jenkins’s talk show, is a white girl who wants to be black; she thinks that her boyfriend is going to propose to her on-air but instead finds out he’s been dating her blonde sister. Debra Denson was the makeup department head. Erin described the character and the makeup in an interview:
I play a woman named Sally who is unhappy with her life and is sort of going through an identity crisis and decides that she wants to be black . . . My character is introduced on the show and has gone through this physical transformation. Her hair is in corn rows, and an afro. She’s been spending a lot of time in a tanning salon, so her skin is super, super, super dark. She’s gotten a botched lip job so I had to wear this weird bulbous prosthetic lip.
