In this clip, T.C. Carson went in depth about the rise and fall of ‘Living Single.’ He described what seemed to be a pleasant work environment early on but said things changed after new producers were appointed to oversee the show. T.C. detailed being the spokesperson for the cast to air their grievances to the writers and producers about the development and trajectory of their characters. However, that ultimately adversely impacted T.C. who became the scapegoat and was subsequently written off the show and dubbed as “difficult to work with.”
Later, T.C. talked about ‘Friends’ essentially being a rip-off of ‘Living Single’ and the racial politics that were at play which ultimately amplified ‘Friends’ without acknowledging how it hijacked the ‘Living Single’ model.
