Keke Palmer and Vanessa Hudgens Almost Starred on a Disney Channel Show Together

From Seventeen

Keke Palmer may have started her career off as True Jackson on Nickelodeon, but there was a second there where she almost become a star thanks to Disney Channel. The actress shared on Monday that when she was just 10 years old, she actually filmed a pilot for a Disney Channel show alongside Vanessa Hudgens and I can't be the only one who's upset the show didn't get picked up.

"When I first moved to California I was introduced to Ralph Farquhar (one of the creators of The Proud Family, Moesha, The Parker’s etc)," Keke shared on Instagram. "He took a chance on me and he landed me this pilot with Disney Channel that didn’t get picked up called Keke & Jamal."

The 26-year-old revealed that the show was "loosely based" on her life. "A little girl named Keke with big dreams of being an entertainer and her tight nit family," she explained.

Keke then shared some clips from the show, including the amazing title sequence. If the house set looks familiar, that's because it was recycled from That's So Raven. "That was when I first met Raven Symone," Keke wrote. "True dream come true for me and like a fairytale."

Along with Keke, Keke & Jamal starred Vanessa Hudgens pre-High School Musical as well as Andre Jamal Kinney, who went on to star in Hannah Montana. Andre shared some clips from the pilot as well. In his post, he revealed that around the same time he had also shot a pilot for Disney with Zac Efron (can he release the videos from that please??).

Of course, Keke & Jamal never got picked up, which is such a bummer because it looks hysterical, but Keke, Andre, and Vanessa all seemed to have done more than OK for themselves nonetheless.
