Search for "Minstrel". Okay, so he was a token black guy without a major
role, but I *think* he appeared there first.

Interestingly, IMDB dewclines to mention the Minstrel show appearance *at
all*.

According to , I'm
right. New Faces was first, then The Fosters and Tiswas and only later,
The Black & White Minstrel Show.

and gave Lenny a pie in the face for his troubles.

Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield (no - a different David Copperfield)

He _was_ married to Dawn French wasn't he? But didn't they split up
recently? Or was that Jennifer Saunders and Ade Edmondson?

For even more points: What was the first TV show the Lenny Henry 
appeared on?

Three of a Kind I think. Lenny Henry created the character anyway.

Trevor McDoughnut is/was a Lenny Henry character - so it was probably Three
of a Kind (remember that?), or another programme with Lenny H. in it.

For another point, who were the other two 'comedians' in Three of a Kind?
And, for half a point, to whom is Lenny Henry married?

Andrew.
