Why is Jamie Foxx not Jamie Foxx?

Because his real name is Eric Marlon Bishop. Who knew? Who cared?
As a struggling comic, Foxx changed his name after he noticed that women were often called up onstage on amateur night at comedy clubs. So one night, he signed in with a unisex moniker at a Santa Monica, California club and "they picked Jamie Foxx. 'Is she here?' And I said, 'Yeah, brother, right over here, man,' " he told Jet magazine.
