Welp, the above tweet pretty much says it all. Diddy. PBS. Stuffiness. Downton Motherfuckin’ Abbey. Midnight on the West Coast, 9PM on the East Coast. Who will he play? What are his character’s hopes and dreams and fears, and what will he care about if there are no Benjamins in England? How will he preserve his sexy in a society that stifles sex? Only one way to find out, we guess, and that’s to tune in.
This isn’t Diddy’s first acting role, as he played Walter in A Raisin in the Sun and has recently appeared in episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

UPDATE: A representative from Boston PBS affiliate WGBH claims that Diddy is not, in fact, joining the show. We’re going to stick to our guns here and assume that the representative from Boston PBS affiliate WGBH is completely full of shit.
