In this clip, Ernest Lee Thomas opened up about how Chris Rock created the Mr. Omar character for him on "Everybody Hates Chris," which he says helped him get a lot of younger fans. Ernest explained that he met Chris when he was starting out in stand-up in the late-1980s, and years later, Chris reached out to him to be in his show. Ernest said he didn't believe that Chris was looking for him at first, and Ernest added that he's now thankful for the recurring role.

@@JuanyeeHTVB23 had to put the emphasis on the 2nd one ya know lol
Much respect to Chris Rock for reaching out to Ernest to give him a chance to shine again. Some talk about it, others put actions behind words.
That was a solid move on his part.

To this day I still say ; Tragic!!! 😆🤣 I'm glad he got that role!!! He played it well!!!
The way he says tragic in this interview is spot on! 😂
Him, Malvo and that thug from the street of BedStuy🤣🤣🤣🤣. Little dude let me hold a dollar
‘Lil dude from across the street’
Jerome
Timothy Sanders Yep 👍
Everytime you see Ernest in a thumbnail for the interview, he always has a look on his face like someone is telling him a story and he know they lying.
🤣 bro I thought I was the only 1 , trill shit
No cap lol
Tragic tragic!!!
LOL!!!
YESSSS I was thinking the same 😂😆😂
The infamous "tragic TRAGIC' that was my favorite thing on the show
The Part we have been all waiting on ..
TRAGIC!!!😂
Factzzzz
2:18 is what we all was waiting for
Man he is naturally talented asf..... Guys like him always get overlooked
Don't want this interview to end. I hope this brotha gets all the roles. I remember watching What's Happening reruns in the early 90s as a shorty.
Everybody Hates Chris is such a masterpiece, everyone played their role phenomenally
SUCH A GREAT COMEBACK STORY FOR BROTHER EARNEST LEE THOMAS. GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED THIS MAN!
Arguably my favorite character on the show, remember when he owed Drew money 😆🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
Mr. Omar is one of my favorite characters on that show. He be trynna take all the Widows 😂 Everybody Hates Chris will be my show forever I still watch it. “Tragic, Tragic!”
i don’t think i could ever imagine another actor better than Ernest to play that role, he was made for it. to this day i scream TRAGIC🤣🤣🤣
i loved his role. all he needed was like two minutes, and he’d make you laugh. “ TRAGIC! “
On my mama he still got it 2:17 - 2:22
I'm a millennial and I knew who he was before that. I watched old reruns (no pun intended) of Whats Happening.
I was the same too!
Man this dude was on my TV everyday and I am glad he is still doing Good !!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ERNEST ♥️🖤💚
Mr Omar couldnt wait for everybody Pops to die in the neighborhood 😂😂 Smh
Tragic, TRAGIC
On What's Happening he was known for the classic dance and the "ha ha" laugh. He lost the show and went down but God brought him back. He ended up being known to a later generation more for "Tragic". Just goes to show sometimes it seems like the best time has gone, but keep pushing and there are more great things to come.
That's right. Keep pushing and try to make the best choices for your life that you can.
I swear, if he wasn't going to say tragic somewhere in this interview...😡
But he did. 😁👍🏾 very underrated show. Its funny because, I didn't start watching that show until the 3rd season after watching reruns of the first 2seasons.
Could listen to him talk all day! Don't know how I missed the Everybody Hates Chris episodes. Now I really like Chris Rock.
GOD FIRST ALWAYS
That was actually the longest job he ever had. God bless Chris Rock!
Mr omar !! everybody hates chris will always be one of my favorite shows 💯
Lmao he still got the tragic in em 😭😭
Lol I bet he only borrowed money from Drew once after that episode 😂😂😂😂
TRAGIC TRAGIC!!
Everybody Hates Chris is one of those rare shows where EVERYBODY in the cast from regular to recurring made the show funny. That's why i still say Everybody Hates Chris was the last great black sitcom. Ernest Thomas will always be Raj and Mr. Omar.
For anyone who hasn’t seen this show... go watch all the episodes. It’s a perfect mixture of funny racism that would be canceled in 2021 😂😂
Everybody hates chris was our cosby of family matters back then
Rest in Peace Malvo (Harris) by the way. Coach Thurman was a lunatic too🤣🤣🤣.
What happened to him
@@A_Notes I can't recall. I think it was a heart problem. Amazing actor Malvo. He was best friends with Snoop Dogg aswell.
@@shabangu288 i googled it he been dead for 5 years and i didn't know it
@@A_Notes yeah man. Sad loss indeed.
Living Legend!!!
TRAGIC!!
Loved mr Omar, mr Omar you got hair in your fridge, yeah that's my side hustle lol
I got all varieties wavy curly nappy...
Mm-mm-mm, tragic, TRAGIC! 🤣😂
Tragic TRAGIC! Classic just like his laugh from Whats Happening. Love it! LOL
Till this day, anytime I hear the word “tragic” I crack up and think of him LOOL
