Dania Ramírez (born November 8, 1979) is an Actress from the Dominican Republic, most recently known for two roles on television playing Upon learning that her parents will be away for the weekend, Doris sadly lets a tear hit her TV remote, as the Fat Albert Show is on. A remote control is an electronic device used for the remote operation of a Machine. The tear opens up the TV world to the real world and Fat Albert (Kenan Thompson) and the gang (Keith Robinson, Shedrack Anderson III, Jermaine Williams, Alphonso McAuley, Aaron Frazier and Marques Houston) (minus Bill's little brother Russell) go to help her. Kenan Thompson (born May 10 1978 is an American Actor and Comedian who is currently known for the titular role in Fat Albert, as a regular Keith Robinson may refer to Keith Robinson (actor, an American actor and R&B singer Keith Robinson (rugby player, a former New Zealand Shedrack Anderson "III" (born February 4, 1977 in Los Angeles California) is an American actor Jermaine Williams ( December 31 1982) is an American actor He dances for the Norwood Kids Foundation by Brandy Norwood. Alphonso McAuley is an American actor who played Bucky in the Fat Albert movie Aaron Frazier is an African-American actor who does Old Weird Harold in the Fat Albert movie. Marques Barrett Houston (born August 4 1981 is an American R&B Singer and Actor. Doris insists that she is fine, but the gang can't leave yet - their show is over and they have to wait until the next day's show to go back. They follow Doris to school the next day and are amazed by the new technology like laptops and the internet.

Fat Albert also notices Lauri and falls in love with her. In another attempt to help Doris, the gang persuades some cheerleaders to invite them all to an outdoors party. With some reluctance, Doris agrees to attend. While they're there, Lauri dances with Fat Albert. Another boy who likes Lauri attempts to make her jealous by dancing with Doris. When Lauri doesn't notice him, he tries to kiss Doris. Doris runs from the party and Fat Albert warns the boy to stay away from Doris. The next day, Doris goes to school, but asks the gang to go to the park instead of following her. Weird Harold, normally very clumsy, joins in a basketball game and is able to play perfectly. Mushmouth, who can't talk normally, is taught how to speak by a little girl. Dumb Donald goes to the library and is able to read and remove his purple face-covering hat.

When Doris gets them and takes them back to her TV, Bucky, Dumb Donald, and Weird Harold jump into the TV but the show ends before the others can enter. Fat Albert and Bill have an argument in private about going back (Fat Albert wants to stay in the real world with Lauri). Searching for guidance, Fat Albert meets the real Bill Cosby and tells him of the dilemma. Cosby tells him that his character is based on Doris's grandfather, which explains Doris's confusion over why Albert seems so familiar to her. Cosby then tells Fat Albert that he has to return to the TV, or he will turn into celluloid dust. Celluloid is the name of a class of compounds created from Nitrocellulose and Camphor, plus dyes and other agents Devastated, Fat Albert tries to tell Lauri that he has to leave, but she doesn't believe he's from the TV and thinks that he is just being insensitive.

The next day, Bill, Mushmouth, and Rudy jump back into the TV. Fat Albert waits and goes to a track meet that Doris and Lauri have, then takes them home and jumps into the TV (this convinces Lauri that Fat Albert wasn't lying to her). At the end of the movie, Bill Cosby and his old friends (who the characters in the show were based on) stand in front of their old friend Albert Robertson's grave. Doris is also there. Then the group of men have a little race, showing no matter how old they are, they are still kids at heart, the same kids from the TV show that they helped Bill Cosby inspire.
