Yesterday I watched "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" so it's weird that today I watched this, read T.C. Carson's wikipedia page and realized that Star Wars has given him a lot of work. We haven't been seeing him because he's a voice actor for animated productions and video games. I'm glad he found another way to make money in the business, he's very resilient but still missed on screen.
@Jay Johnson He was probably just paraphrasing what the guy said to him. He is classy like that, I'm sure the tone and words that were said were very disrespectful for him to act in such a way.
@Jay Johnson I agree with your sentiment. But, I also understand where he may have been emotionally. You ever have that period of your life where 1 more thing that is undeserved, unfair, and just wrong is the last straw? People can only play the game until they decide no more.
I personally feel that whoever was running the show sought to push it off the air. They didn't want a black show on tv. It made them money and then they were over it once they recreated it with a white cast (Friends). TC is an amazing actor and singer but they didn't value his talent.
That was Fox's whole plan. They used the black sitcoms to upstart the network and cancelled them all when they were still high in ratings. If you notice, with all of the popular black shows on that network, they messed with the formula so they'd have a reason to cancel. If you mess with the storyline and get rid of important characters of course the viewers would stop tuning in.
naturallyme14 Exactly! They do this all the time. Black people are the tastemakers, so they use us to build up a network (or musician or product-like Shea Moisture) then once that’s been achieved they pivot to white audiences and throw us out.
@@SoulKisses76 when I saw this. I'm a grown man that grew up watching that show and as black men in this day and age we need that we need to see more of that that is black pride especially in a day when VH1 has black people portrayed as problematic very rowdy it made me feel good as a black man see that that's strong powerful intelligent black men exist 💯
Yes! And I say this all the time and I am not even a black man, but there is nothing worse than someone who tries to embarrass you in front of others. It’s disgusting. He could’ve pulled him to the side. What he wanted was for TC to grovel. Glad he walked out of there with his head held high.
I think he misread the room. Before he showed up, everyone already knew gossip and they still wanted him to audition. They knew his talent and they still wanted him. They asked the black man to ask the sensitive question so they could get past it. He wasn't ready to get past it and walked out.
I’m telling you brothers and sisters Hollywood is no place for black people! People like Denzel and Will Smith know this. But they made no effort to create their own film industry. Indians created Bollywood with no problem
@@mansamusa2012 Bill Cosby tried his son died and today he is in jail....they sabotage any black people who try to start their own version of Hollywood
That show sucked as soon as he was fired. They ended up getting mel jackson to replace him which was trash. I loved kyles character. Mel jackson was terrible sorry but not sorry.
The "standard" lines for putting down a black man or woman... He's an Angry Black man, or He comes to work not to work, unprepared. He's not on time! He can’ t write... etc. And, it will stick... The standard BS! It's so unfair out here for a lot of us. I am proud to see TC Carson stood up to it and didn't sacrifice his dignity. The thing is, they normally get another black person, a brother or a sister, to attack another black person! Black on Black! There's a white person normally operating behind the scenes, pulling the strings. SMH
@@shawandacarr8925 yup you are right she was in a couple of episodes training Black Lighting daughter how to control her powers, plus now that I think about it 🤔 both of them share the same Birthday too 🙂
Loretta DeVine played his mom and Lisa Arrindell from _Madea's Family Reunion_ played his girlfriend. That movie is so slept on. I remember watching it on Encore Black a couple of years ago.
@@DavidRichardson95 oh shit if you talking about like 3 or 4 years ago then that's about the time I saw it again in a long time myself on encore LOL 😄👍🏽
His voice was shaking when he talked about what happened. Wow, I feel so bad that this happened to him, but it is so good to see that he used it to make him stronger. You can't keep a good brother down.
TC Carson...I don’t know if you read these comments but my brother I want to tell you this. You had many young black boys like myself in the 90s looking up to you. You had the best job and best women, Maxine, in particular. You ARE one of the best actors and voice actors in the game. We love ya and praying for many blessings your way and to your family.
The brotha who is doing the interviewing did a excellent job. This is how it should be, our stars should allowing black journalist to interview them and black journalist need to carry themselves with professionalism just like this brotha who did the interviewing did.
It's sad to hear stories like this, although it's everywhere. Now that hollywood folks can't control independent films you can focus on getting with those creators.
Exist N Nature Media amen. Fox used all that brilliant black talent to build their network then they dumped them like yesterday’s trash. We built that network and look at them now
Great interview. And so sad to hear how the industry did him he is definitely talented and above all he carries himself like gentlemen. Very posed and extremely intelligent. A confident smart Black man is always intimidating in hollywood. Thank Goodness he stayed true to himself because God always prevail over the enemy. Although they tried to stop you and hurt you.. No weapon against you prospered!!!
The problem was & remains that you are a melenated man with strength & convictions. They were not ready for your strength! You are not a schuck & jive type of man. Your energy & positivity still exudes even during this interview!
Jonathan Rayne You never know, they could’ve had that discussion, and he might’ve told them not to sacrifice for him. I think the time to do something like that would’ve been at the height of their popularity, but of course the show runners waited until the final season to pull the okie doke. That, and they don’t typically let Black people get away with that. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they canceled the show a year early if they all stuck together. Think about it, they wouldn’t even give them decent craft services, but you know FRIENDS was right across the lot being treated like kings practically since the beginning.
@@escapefrombabylon5847 Word, you try to bluff and you might overplay your hand. in the 90s, shows that catered to the black audience were semi-common. They'd fire the whole cast and kill the show to make a point
@@iunderstanphotography2780 Nobody's saying it's right. It sucks that it's that way, but that's the way it is. As I said, if you don't own the studio or the production company, then you have to fall in line. The Hollywood actor is a glorified blue collar WORKER. Denzel had to put up with crap... guaranteed, but he didn't let it stop him. At the end of the day, your dream and your desire to make a living should be the ONLY thing that matters. It's a whole bunch of people with principles that's out of work and starving.
@@AtypicalM Standing his ground makes him legendary...there aren’t many that do and would do what he did. Use your own vocabulary to describe him, you’re entitled to that.
I can relate to what he’s speaking. I am blackballed by the company, I work & I haven’t gotten the opportunities for growth while I see other people with less experience & less time getting positions because of who they know & not what they know. Enough is enough.
Never a discussion of personal life/ sexual preference etc. So many people’s private lives have been ruined the minute it became public knowledge. Good for him
I agree I also liked how the interviewer kept it on his career, craft, etc. and not on his personal life or past relationships with people. No need for the mud slinging to get views he kept it classy....😉
@@markjefferson2434 Not sure , I met him and Kim Cole in downtown LA in 92' at one of my customers shop. Not saying him and Kim were dating but I couldn't tell if he gay...😉
Monique told us about the movings and shakings of Hollywood,did she not ? His story sounds just like hers, does it not ? Verbatim, lee daniels said she needed to "play ball" ,and when she didn't play along to get along, she had to endure the back lash of retaliation. We see that deep convictions to "integrity" is the road less traveled. Many are too afraid to rock the boat against that established "upper tier". Look at the tumble of lee daniels and steve harvey , both who've tried to sway Monique, about money over integrity. We shall ALL reap what we've sown, if not now, surely later.
Doreen Newman IMO ive agree 100percent with Monique however she does come off as confrontational and angry.The way he’s speaking about is totally different. I always say it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. Screaming and yelling only plays into the stereotype that’s already placed on us. And people don’t listen when you scream 🤷🏾♂️
@@Edward_Strong1982 Larry I agree with you, many times tone can activate one's listening ear, and that's ONLY if it's coupled with a heart that's willing to listen. One can put their words on a platinum gold plater, if I'm closed to you from the start, it just wouldn't matter how've packaged it. I think from the start of Monique's issues with those folks, many people had that clipped of her expressing her cursings and railings against her "associates", etched in our minds that someone posted when she was doing her stand up. And I agree with you, not the best approach, but that was the only time I've heard her express to that level. She's always communicated very pointedly, not backing down from anyone she approached face to face. It's always been very calm and articulate. She has credited her husband with helping her curb her attitude in a positive manner to work for her, and not against. If you ever heard the two of them speak on the same platform, in the beginning when she'd respond, it would have somewhat of a "bite" to it, even though her vocal inflections would be calm. However Sidney's reply would support her, as he would neutralize that sting of hers. She has come a long way. Oh, a prime example of the heart and ears that wants to listen, Martin Luther King never yelled when he gave his speeches, yet he was killed. Hearts that refused to listen. Larry, stay safe and healthy, take care of you and yours.
@@Edward_Strong1982 the "it's not what you say it's how you say it" is always a "cop out" when people don't want to accept the evidence no matter HOW it's presented. I've seen black people calmly voice their position, or ask about something and told they were "attacking." It is unrealistic to expect someone to be calm always in the face of disrespect or cruelty.
No one wanted to believe or side with Monique because she's a black woman. Soon as a black man says exactly what she's been saying for years, everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
He was always one of the smoothest brothers on TV at that time in the 90s.how we thought all black men should dress talk and act like back then..glad to hear things from his side after all these years.
What you just said is one if the main reasons he was fired from the show. You really think they wanna show Black men in a POSITIVE light and not the hood, gangsta, criminal you mostly see??
I remember seeing him as an extra in some commercial walking along in a group of folks singing. He was shown only for like 1 second and I remember being in shock cuz I was amazed how he went from “Living Single” to just being an extra in a commercial. I can see pain in his eyes in this interview.
He had a short-lived voice part for Kratos after hearing Christopher Judge from the Stargate series the brother with the circular design on his forehead, there's no wonder why he don't have the party anymore!!!
This man was part of my childhood like on Thursday night Martin Living single New York undercover yo then as a teen this man played The original God of War Kratos
Yes, It was so funny realizing that he was the first Kratos. I kept hearing his voice during the game thinking, "I know that guy from somewhere but I can't place him..." Then I looked up the voice and thought, "KYLE BARKER!!???? Fucking KYLE BARKER IS KRATOS!!?????" Blew my mind....
People in Hollywood and in the regular blue/ white collar job industry have issues with strong minded heterosexual black men who speak up for themselves. I've had people talk behind my back for some odd reason at the workplace and I'm a very reserved and laid back person.
"The friendship you saw onscreen was real. We all really, really liked each other. We were just like brothers and sisters... some days we couldn't stand each other, but we loved each other everyday." I loved that quote from The Honorable TC Carson that was shared regarding the relationship between he and his cast members. At times our communities forget the importance of never "falling out" fully with our fellow brothers and sisters over minor disputes. With just that statement alone he encompassed... True community and unfeigned love. Thank you for this much needed and appreciated interview, Comedy Hype.
I love TC Carson, I watched all his interviews from CH and I appreciate his candor, honesty, and laying it all out. I wish him well, he still has more to come!! I will support him 100!!
It might've been. It certainly wasn't his best work, but I thought he did his thing in that one. Or, at least he did the best that he could with what he was given to work with.
That's because white people are afraid of what they can't control . Tyler Perry did it right and more people in the business should ban together and form their own studios and production companies. Ur stronger in numbers
I definitely know how it feels to be lied on by my coworkers and supervisors about my work that hurt my career and reputation with that company . It’s a horrible feeling .
I wish you well @officialTCCarson! 🙏🏾You are a talented actor, your season will come soon. BTW, you are as handsome as ever and your smile is dazzling. ❤️❤️❤️
What a talented actor. He gets blackballed for asking to be treated fairly, but Matthew Perry sniffed the whole damn studio with no one batting an eye.
@Brandon Epps I think that's kind of the point... What black man you know would catch AIDS, not tell his partners. Touch boys. Constantly sleep with prostitutes and you don't hear anything about it until way after it happens, then when you do the reaction is still pretty much meh.
This is really sad to me. I loved TC Carson's character Kyle on Living Single and to hear what they did to him. It pisses me off. It wasn't enough they fired him off the show. But they also made sure to stunt his growth as an actor to block his blessings by putting false narrative out there in the industry. It hurts cuz he could have been bigger. No wonder sometimes Id think hey where is that one guy from Living Single. l liked him in the movie U-571.
Thank U @ComedyHype I love this! He looks amazing. So dignified. Articulate & down to earth. I loved his 'character' & Max. I miss that show. Great memories.(=❤#90s
Cindy Sinclair I really wish he could started his own production company or something he seem like he would bring some quality work to the table. In that business you can’t just be a worker you have to advance yourselfLearn screen writing, directing and etc to stay in the business otherwise they will toss you to the side when they done or when you don’t fall in line
They definitely did him wrong for sure and it pisses me off that this continues today. I also noticed that he only had to say it "once" yet Monique has had to repeat her story for years, had receipts and still getting the side eye & called out for showing receipts. How Sway??? We still have work to do as a people before this will end. We must hold them accountable when they do us harm.
Cindy Sinclair It’s interesting with Kim Fields being in the cast and possibly the most well known and with years of experience in the business, wonder how much of a say she had in anything.
Thank you so much for this interview. I truly had a deep love and respect for the show. His character was very real to me. Sad to see him gone from the show and startling to NOT see Latifah there for the reunions for whatever reasons. NYC has a Black story that needs to be told. That opening sequence with the dancer takes place on a spot that if the street could talk, you'd NEVER leave the spot! Glad I followed this channel.
I had just rewatched living single on hulu , Kyle barker was one of my favorite people was so sad when he left the show. its crazy that he was fired and then had his career blackballed. Definitely one the Best and most underrated Actor of all time !❤❤
Yeah in the early beginning he did his best it was kind of weak, but Christopher Judge from the Stargate series the brother with the circular design on his forehead is off the chart with his voice he hit it right on the head he is the best voice that is well-known that you here he has the best voice look up voices for Kratos God of War on UA-cam and you know exactly what I mean.
@@supra663 Nah, TC Carson did the voice for Kratos in every single version of God of War for multiple consoles; the entire series as a matter of fact. It wasn't until the God of War (2018) game was released on PS4 that you saw Christopher Judge as the voice for Kratos. The replaced TC for Chris since this version entailed more body movement with the graphics and required someone with a much larger frame in real life that would be equivalent to Kratos". So they picked Chris because he had the voice and the ideal body frame that they were looking for.
It’s all good, because what goes around comes around an what goes UP MUST COME DOWN💯 an I will only watch the re-runs with this HANDSOME KING in it!!!!
I have to disagree. A lot to what Monique is going through is what she has brought upon herself. It’s also never a good idea to have the person you sleeping with as your manager/agent. There are so many people who claim they are team MoNique, but why her comedy shows ain’t selling out? You can’t be upset with Netflix for not offering her millions and she’s not selling out comedy shows. Netflix wasn’t even checking for her and they were nice to offer her what they did. I don’t like Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish is hit or miss for me (but I’m proud of her) but they were offered their deals because they’re guaranteed money. They are selling out stadiums. MoNique’s comedy show tickets are on Groupon. She needed to come into Netflix with a more humbled attitude.
This breaks my heart every time I hear stuff like this even tho I know it happens. That’s why I was so mad at Black folks who turned on Monique. Taking white folks side. I hope one day we realize the rules to the game we’re locked into. But Black folks have to recognize we’re in a game in the first damn place. Race First = Winning strategy!
A lot of Black People are still against monique and other black women with similar stories. It is weird to me that black women are told to shut up and be grateful for pennies while our brothers get support from the jump. We need to love and support each other equally.
Wow! Great interview! The level of intelligence, brutal and painful honesty and integrity of Mr. Carson is priceless, and greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I always knew what that meant when you have been called "Difficult" in the Industry ppl will run the Other way producers etc. You got to have a Spotless Reputation in That Town
Brother T C Carson thank you for speaking your mind . I felt you were part of the bond that made Living Single the success it was and is to this day. God bless you.
I wondered if he was blackballed after watching the last interview. He is a class act and I am a huge fan! It reminds me of what happened to Eartha Kitt. They blackballed her after she disagreed with the first lady with sending black men to war.
My 9 year son love living single because of TC Carson aka Kyle Barker..he loves the way he dresses, talk and just carries himself on whole. I wish he could meet him.
Shout out to TC, very sad that this happened to him. Shout out to the interviewer too, he usually does a good job and his tone and flow of the interviews are great. Very conversational and easy to listen to.
One of the most UNDERRATED Brothers in Hollywood. Classy always.
Yes he is.
He's definitely cut from old school cloth.
Very smart and articulate.
@@rafaelmonzon1429 l
Yes and Yes. I remember him the most as the voice actor doing the voice of Cratos from the God of War ps4 game 1,2 and 3. His voice was impactful.

Me too. His laugh is the same!!
But thank god he still had his voice to rely on. He can sing and plus he did a lot of voice over work.
Indeed, his voice over role as Kratos for the God of War series was his cash cow. I honestly couldn't see anyone else as the voice for Kratos other than him; that's what made the character who he is. So I'm happy for the brother TC.

That is why I never watched Friends. I would say to myself, "why Yvette B, let them steal her idea.
That was Fox's whole plan. They used the black sitcoms to upstart the network and cancelled them all when they were still high in ratings.
If you notice, with all of the popular black shows on that network, they messed with the formula so they'd have a reason to cancel. If you mess with the storyline and get rid of important characters of course the viewers would stop tuning in.
@MrBigrose11 That show was so good and they completely ruined it. That last season was trash, just like Living Single.
naturallyme14 Exactly! They do this all the time. Black people are the tastemakers, so they use us to build up a network (or musician or product-like Shea Moisture) then once that’s been achieved they pivot to white audiences and throw us out.
@MrBigrose11 Y'all wanna make everything racist. A black show ends and a white one begins..... and that's racist? Really???
From this interview the role that he played on living single was a product of who he was you can tell this is who he is
Absolutely. I was just thinking this. Much love to him. ✊🏽💗
@@SoulKisses76 when I saw this. I'm a grown man that grew up watching that show and as black men in this day and age we need that we need to see more of that that is black pride especially in a day when VH1 has black people portrayed as problematic very rowdy it made me feel good as a black man see that that's strong powerful intelligent black men exist 💯
@@brocksamson9829 The way Kyle would proudly sport his African bow ties & matching vests, and his locks in his corporate meetings... I lived!✊🏽💗🙏🏽
Brock Samson yes, that’s why it’s so organic
He was right to not let that black guy try to embarrass him in a room full of white folks!
😎❤
Yes! And I say this all the time and I am not even a black man, but there is nothing worse than someone who tries to embarrass you in front of others. It’s disgusting. He could’ve pulled him to the side. What he wanted was for TC to grovel. Glad he walked out of there with his head held high.
I think he misread the room. Before he showed up, everyone already knew gossip and they still wanted him to audition. They knew his talent and they still wanted him. They asked the black man to ask the sensitive question so they could get past it. He wasn't ready to get past it and walked out.
I’m telling you brothers and sisters Hollywood is no place for black people! People like Denzel and Will Smith know this. But they made no effort to create their own film industry. Indians created Bollywood with no problem
@@mansamusa2012 Bill Cosby tried his son died and today he is in jail....they sabotage any black people who try to start their own version of Hollywood
cbon88 But Tyler Perry...
That show sucked as soon as he was fired. They ended up getting mel jackson to replace him which was trash. I loved kyles character. Mel jackson was terrible sorry but not sorry.
@Sexy Trinny they did him dirty as hell. And i didnt like mel jackson's character at all. He didnt fit in with them.
@@datboyphil He didn't fit in at all!!

The "standard" lines for putting down a black man or woman... He's an Angry Black man, or He comes to work not to work, unprepared. He's not on time! He can’ t write... etc. And, it will stick... The standard BS! It's so unfair out here for a lot of us. I am proud to see TC Carson stood up to it and didn't sacrifice his dignity. The thing is, they normally get another black person, a brother or a sister, to attack another black person! Black on Black! There's a white person normally operating behind the scenes, pulling the strings. SMH
He also played in The CW show Black Lighting, as Tobias Dad, it was nice to see him on the show 💯👍🏽
He was on Greenleaf as well
Max was on that show too.
@@shawandacarr8925 yup you are right she was in a couple of episodes training Black Lighting daughter how to control her powers, plus now that I think about it 🤔 both of them share the same Birthday too 🙂
Been a fan since watching Livin Large when I was a young boy. I loved that movie.
I'm on episode 2. I just started watching it
4:56 "we were really strong in OUR blackness" 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Who remember him in the 1991 movie Living Large, I loved that movie growing up in the 90s 😃
Loretta DeVine played his mom and Lisa Arrindell from _Madea's Family Reunion_ played his girlfriend. That movie is so slept on. I remember watching it on Encore Black a couple of years ago.
@@DavidRichardson95 oh shit if you talking about like 3 or 4 years ago then that's about the time I saw it again in a long time myself on encore LOL 😄👍🏽

Damn 61 years old looking 20 years younger. Go my brother. Fine and stay clean as always. #TCCarson #KyleBarker #Afrocentricman❤️😍
61??? Whoa!! Demigod, for real. Lol
His voice was shaking when he talked about what happened. Wow, I feel so bad that this happened to him, but it is so good to see that he used it to make him stronger. You can't keep a good brother down.
TC Carson...I don’t know if you read these comments but my brother I want to tell you this. You had many young black boys like myself in the 90s looking up to you. You had the best job and best women, Maxine, in particular. You ARE one of the best actors and voice actors in the game. We love ya and praying for many blessings your way and to your family.
🙏🏼❤ You can tell him on his UA-cam page, TC Carson.
The brotha who is doing the interviewing did a excellent job. This is how it should be, our stars should allowing black journalist to interview them and black journalist need to carry themselves with professionalism just like this brotha who did the interviewing did.

@@gloriousjohnson1807 yes me too. I know all to well about it especially when it's by your own race smh.
It's sad to hear stories like this, although it's everywhere. Now that hollywood folks can't control independent films you can focus on getting with those creators.
Exist N Nature Media amen.
Fox used all that brilliant black talent to build their network then they dumped them like yesterday’s trash. We built that network and look at them now
Great interview. And so sad to hear how the industry did him he is definitely talented and above all he carries himself like gentlemen. Very posed and extremely intelligent. A confident smart Black man is always intimidating in hollywood. Thank Goodness he stayed true to himself because God always prevail over the enemy. Although they tried to stop you and hurt you.. No weapon against you prospered!!!
Facts! No buffoonery coming from this Black man.
Onto only in Hollywood, in almost EVERY forum
The problem was & remains that you are a melenated man with strength & convictions. They were not ready for your strength! You are not a schuck & jive type of man. Your energy & positivity still exudes even during this interview!
Kyle’s laugh was hilarious.
The problem is nobody sticks together. The rest of the cast should've had his back.
"You fire him, we ALL walk".
Jonathan Rayne You never know, they could’ve had that discussion, and he might’ve told them not to sacrifice for him. I think the time to do something like that would’ve been at the height of their popularity, but of course the show runners waited until the final season to pull the okie doke. That, and they don’t typically let Black people get away with that. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they canceled the show a year early if they all stuck together. Think about it, they wouldn’t even give them decent craft services, but you know FRIENDS was right across the lot being treated like kings practically since the beginning.
Jonathan Rayne the cast of New York Undercover tried that... it didn't work.
@@escapefrombabylon5847 Oh shit, l wondered what happened to that show.
@@escapefrombabylon5847 Word, you try to bluff and you might overplay your hand. in the 90s, shows that catered to the black audience were semi-common. They'd fire the whole cast and kill the show to make a point
@@iunderstanphotography2780 Nobody's saying it's right. It sucks that it's that way, but that's the way it is. As I said, if you don't own the studio or the production company, then you have to fall in line. The Hollywood actor is a glorified blue collar WORKER. Denzel had to put up with crap... guaranteed, but he didn't let it stop him. At the end of the day, your dream and your desire to make a living should be the ONLY thing that matters. It's a whole bunch of people with principles that's out of work and starving.
This brother's talent is incomparable... he was Kratos!!! TC doesnt get the credit he deserves.
He feels like a friend THAT friend who you are just so comfy with.
I've been binge watching Living Single while social distancing!
How? What platform u using to watch it??
Me too! I'm guessing you're watching it on Hulu as well.

This man is legendary, and I really wish he was able to shine like the star we all know he is!
You guys use the word legend too often.... Lol.... Legend. Hell no. He's not a legend. Good actor. Yes.
@@AtypicalM Standing his ground makes him legendary...there aren’t many that do and would do what he did.
Use your own vocabulary to describe him, you’re entitled to that.
i agree with you 200 per cent.
I can relate to what he’s speaking. I am blackballed by the company, I work & I haven’t gotten the opportunities for growth while I see other people with less experience & less time getting positions because of who they know & not what they know. Enough is enough.
Never a discussion of personal life/ sexual preference etc. So many people’s private lives have been ruined the minute it became public knowledge. Good for him
I agree I also liked how the interviewer kept it on his career, craft, etc. and not on his personal life or past relationships with people. No need for the mud slinging to get views he kept it classy....😉
@@vistalite-ph4zw is he..gay?

Monique told us about the movings and shakings of Hollywood,did she not ? His story sounds just like hers, does it not ? Verbatim, lee daniels said she needed to "play ball" ,and when she didn't play along to get along, she had to endure the back lash of retaliation. We see that deep convictions to "integrity" is the road less traveled. Many are too afraid to rock the boat against that established "upper tier". Look at the tumble of lee daniels and steve harvey , both who've tried to sway Monique, about money over integrity. We shall ALL reap what we've sown, if not now, surely later.
Doreen Newman IMO ive agree 100percent with Monique however she does come off as confrontational and angry.The way he’s speaking about is totally different. I always say it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. Screaming and yelling only plays into the stereotype that’s already placed on us. And people don’t listen when you scream 🤷🏾♂️
@@Edward_Strong1982 Larry I agree with you, many times tone can activate one's listening ear, and that's ONLY if it's coupled with a heart that's willing to listen. One can put their words on a platinum gold plater, if I'm closed to you from the start, it just wouldn't matter how've packaged it. I think from the start of Monique's issues with those folks, many people had that clipped of her expressing her cursings and railings against her "associates", etched in our minds that someone posted when she was doing her stand up. And I agree with you, not the best approach, but that was the only time I've heard her express to that level. She's always communicated very pointedly, not backing down from anyone she approached face to face. It's always been very calm and articulate. She has credited her husband with helping her curb her attitude in a positive manner to work for her, and not against. If you ever heard the two of them speak on the same platform, in the beginning when she'd respond, it would have somewhat of a "bite" to it, even though her vocal inflections would be calm. However Sidney's reply would support her, as he would neutralize that sting of hers. She has come a long way. Oh, a prime example of the heart and ears that wants to listen, Martin Luther King never yelled when he gave his speeches, yet he was killed. Hearts that refused to listen. Larry, stay safe and healthy, take care of you and yours.
@@Edward_Strong1982 the "it's not what you say it's how you say it" is always a "cop out" when people don't want to accept the evidence no matter HOW it's presented. I've seen black people calmly voice their position, or ask about something and told they were "attacking." It is unrealistic to expect someone to be calm always in the face of disrespect or cruelty.
Marg H facts. Speak louder for those in the back!!!!
No one wanted to believe or side with Monique because she's a black woman. Soon as a black man says exactly what she's been saying for years, everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
He was always one of the smoothest brothers on TV at that time in the 90s.how we thought all black men should dress talk and act like back then..glad to hear things from his side after all these years.
What you just said is one if the main reasons he was fired from the show.
You really think they wanna show Black men in a POSITIVE light and not the hood, gangsta, criminal you mostly see??
@@skyhawk2311 you might be right.

I remember seeing him as an extra in some commercial walking along in a group of folks singing. He was shown only for like 1 second and I remember being in shock cuz I was amazed how he went from “Living Single” to just being an extra in a commercial. I can see pain in his eyes in this interview.
He made crazy coin off of God Of War!!! Much respect!

No lie Kyle Barker was the first role model I ever had. Afrocentric successful brother who dated the baddest & most successful women
He was so eloquent & handsome. Still is
“I am everything and everything is me!” Kyle Barker was amazing.
That character was a different kind of black man in the era when being a gangsta was in.

This man was part of my childhood like on Thursday night Martin Living single New York undercover yo then as a teen this man played The original God of War Kratos
Yes, It was so funny realizing that he was the first Kratos. I kept hearing his voice during the game thinking, "I know that guy from somewhere but I can't place him..." Then I looked up the voice and thought, "KYLE BARKER!!???? Fucking KYLE BARKER IS KRATOS!!?????" Blew my mind....

People in Hollywood and in the regular blue/ white collar job industry have issues with strong minded heterosexual black men who speak up for themselves. I've had people talk behind my back for some odd reason at the workplace and I'm a very reserved and laid back person.
@robert mannDon't project alphabet boy
It would be a real treat to see this man in action on the screen again. He is t.v. a legend.
So sad i used to like this actor's work still do. Someone should give him more gigs
"The friendship you saw onscreen was real. We all really, really liked each other. We were just like brothers and sisters... some days we couldn't stand each other, but we loved each other everyday." I loved that quote from The Honorable TC Carson that was shared regarding the relationship between he and his cast members. At times our communities forget the importance of never "falling out" fully with our fellow brothers and sisters over minor disputes. With just that statement alone he encompassed... True community and unfeigned love. Thank you for this much needed and appreciated interview, Comedy Hype.
He reminds me of a black Jeff Goldblum.
Ooooh I see it
Lol.
Holy Shit,YOU'RE RIGHT😲😂
Silent Shadow You’re absolutely right!
Sure does .!!
I love TC Carson, I watched all his interviews from CH and I appreciate his candor, honesty, and laying it all out. I wish him well, he still has more to come!! I will support him 100!!
I think the “horrible” role he’s referring to is the final destination one
He really wasn't that bad in it.
C John I didn’t think so, either
Right. He did a good job. I liked it 🤷♀️
It might've been. It certainly wasn't his best work, but I thought he did his thing in that one. Or, at least he did the best that he could with what he was given to work with.
I immediately thought that. Not saying he wasn’t good, but it was an unexpected role coming from him.
This were some excellent interviews with TC Carson
T.C Carson is a great actor & I respect his craft for sure!!👌🏽
Still remember him from the movie "Livin Large". Lowkey a great film with a lotta symbolism.
One of my favorite films
The more knowledge and skill you gain in your profession, the more "difficult" you become to work with.
That's because white people are afraid of what they can't control . Tyler Perry did it right and more people in the business should ban together and form their own studios and production companies. Ur stronger in numbers
I definitely know how it feels to be lied on by my coworkers and supervisors about my work that hurt my career and reputation with that company . It’s a horrible feeling .
Latisha Brooks Agreed
An excellent interview; T.C. is an outstanding talent (and from Chicago too),
Danny Chitownnnn!!!! His and Maxine’s birthday 5 days after mine! November Kings and Queens!
Danny I didn’t realize he was from Chicago! Wow, good to know!
ambitiuex yep! He’s from Leclaire’s Court on southside Chicago and U of I fightin Illini!
ambitiuex i saw him back in 91 when Livin’ Large dropped. He did a screening on the north side promoting the film.
I wish you well @officialTCCarson! 🙏🏾You are a talented actor, your season will come soon. BTW, you are as handsome as ever and your smile is dazzling. ❤️❤️❤️
What a talented actor. He gets blackballed for asking to be treated fairly, but Matthew Perry sniffed the whole damn studio with no one batting an eye.
All the while being on drugs sadly
Little Sones Matthew perry was a coke head from what i hear.
Robert Downey Jr and Charlie Sheen are perfect examples. If any Black actor behaved as such, he would have never been given a second chance!
@Brandon Epps I think that's kind of the point... What black man you know would catch AIDS, not tell his partners. Touch boys. Constantly sleep with prostitutes and you don't hear anything about it until way after it happens, then when you do the reaction is still pretty much meh.
@Little Sones he had a bad drug problem for years
He's so calm and peaceful about it all
This is really sad to me. I loved TC Carson's character Kyle on Living Single and to hear what they did to him. It pisses me off. It wasn't enough they fired him off the show. But they also made sure to stunt his growth as an actor to block his blessings by putting false narrative out there in the industry. It hurts cuz he could have been bigger. No wonder sometimes Id think hey where is that one guy from Living Single. l liked him in the movie U-571.
Thank U @ComedyHype I love this! He looks amazing. So dignified. Articulate & down to earth. I loved his 'character' & Max. I miss that show. Great memories.(=❤#90s
So many with the SAME story. Monique comes immediately to mind. Step and fetchet or don't work! Have YOUR OWN - bottom LINE.
Cindy Sinclair I really wish he could started his own production company or something he seem like he would bring some quality work to the table. In that business you can’t just be a worker you have to advance yourselfLearn screen writing, directing and etc to stay in the business otherwise they will toss you to the side when they done or when you don’t fall in line
@@sonna4298 Totally! And the cast could have stuck together to force the network to keep him!
They definitely did him wrong for sure and it pisses me off that this continues today. I also noticed that he only had to say it "once" yet Monique has had to repeat her story for years, had receipts and still getting the side eye & called out for showing receipts. How Sway??? We still have work to do as a people before this will end. We must hold them accountable when they do us harm.
@@dnel7203 Absolutely true! Good points. I think it's black vs. white, then men vs. women. He's a man, so he's more believed.
Cindy Sinclair It’s interesting with Kim Fields being in the cast and possibly the most well known and with years of experience in the business, wonder how much of a say she had in anything.
Thank you so much for this interview. I truly had a deep love and respect for the show. His character was very real to me. Sad to see him gone from the show and startling to NOT see Latifah there for the reunions for whatever reasons.
NYC has a Black story that needs to be told. That opening sequence with the dancer takes place on a spot that if the street could talk, you'd NEVER leave the spot!
Glad I followed this channel.
Hell yeah kratos is in the mother loving house!!! . in my opinion he has one of the most recognizable voices just as Keith David
I had just rewatched living single on hulu , Kyle barker was one of my favorite people was so sad when he left the show. its crazy that he was fired and then had his career blackballed. Definitely one the Best and most underrated Actor of all time !❤❤
Everything worked itself out for him because TC Carson is Kratos
God of War!
Yes
Yeah in the early beginning he did his best it was kind of weak, but Christopher Judge from the Stargate series the brother with the circular design on his forehead is off the chart with his voice he hit it right on the head he is the best voice that is well-known that you here he has the best voice look up voices for Kratos God of War on UA-cam and you know exactly what I mean.
@@supra663 Nah, TC Carson did the voice for Kratos in every single version of God of War for multiple consoles; the entire series as a matter of fact. It wasn't until the God of War (2018) game was released on PS4 that you saw Christopher Judge as the voice for Kratos. The replaced TC for Chris since this version entailed more body movement with the graphics and required someone with a much larger frame in real life that would be equivalent to Kratos". So they picked Chris because he had the voice and the ideal body frame that they were looking for.
@@supra663 lol what the HELL are you talkin about? weak?? early beginning???
My favorite game!!!
It’s all good, because what goes around comes around an what goes UP MUST COME DOWN💯 an I will only watch the re-runs with this HANDSOME KING in it!!!!
Monique going through the same thing now...Hollywood shenanigans is real.
I have to disagree. A lot to what Monique is going through is what she has brought upon herself. It’s also never a good idea to have the person you sleeping with as your manager/agent.
There are so many people who claim they are team MoNique, but why her comedy shows ain’t selling out? You can’t be upset with Netflix for not offering her millions and she’s not selling out comedy shows. Netflix wasn’t even checking for her and they were nice to offer her what they did. I don’t like Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish is hit or miss for me (but I’m proud of her) but they were offered their deals because they’re guaranteed money. They are selling out stadiums. MoNique’s comedy show tickets are on Groupon. She needed to come into Netflix with a more humbled attitude.
Exactly she told the truth. People are seeing it now because Oprah’s shenanigans have been exposed as well as Steve Harvey’s.
MsRose00 Monique was blackballed by lee Daniels and he admitted to it in a nbc interview. It’s on youtube
facts
He seems to be such a gentleman. TC Carson, sopsticated as always. Love him🥰
This breaks my heart every time I hear stuff like this even tho I know it happens. That’s why I was so mad at Black folks who turned on Monique. Taking white folks side. I hope one day we realize the rules to the game we’re locked into. But Black folks have to recognize we’re in a game in the first damn place. Race First = Winning strategy!
A lot of Black People are still against monique and other black women with similar stories. It is weird to me that black women are told to shut up and be grateful for pennies while our brothers get support from the jump. We need to love and support each other equally.
That part!!!
The last time I saw the legend TC was in a commercial and I was blown away!! 😡this man deserves more credit for his craft. Much love sir
I love his voice. I like that they brought his and Erika's character back on a Half and Half episode. Their chemistry was crazy!
Wow!
Great interview!
The level of intelligence, brutal and painful honesty and integrity of Mr. Carson is priceless, and greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Didn’t realize how much of a code word difficult is, damn hopefully we see homie in the future on something.....
They also like to say were combative.
I always knew what that meant when you have been called "Difficult" in the Industry ppl will run the Other way producers etc. You got to have a Spotless Reputation in That Town
Hell he was the voice of kratos in the good of war video game series.
Brother T C Carson thank you for speaking your mind . I felt you were part of the bond that made Living Single the success it was and is to this day. God bless you.
Many brothers and sisters get WhyteBalled often, them tap-dancing days are over. Old guard gotta go
A man of integrity in hollyweird, truly a rare find, terrific interview, thanks!!!
I wondered if he was blackballed after watching the last interview. He is a class act and I am a huge fan! It reminds me of what happened to Eartha Kitt. They blackballed her after she disagreed with the first lady with sending black men to war.
I still watch 'Living Single' to this day. Great series👍🏼
I remember he was in the Tupac movie Gang Related playing the Bail Bondsman.
Thank you for your integrity Mr. Carson.
This internet baby is rattling the crypts of all the rotten bones
They did me same way this year I’m mad as hell I don’t know how to come back from this it hurts and I’m very angry about it I’m really wanna cry.
My 9 year son love living single because of TC Carson aka Kyle Barker..he loves the way he dresses, talk and just carries himself on whole. I wish he could meet him.
Yes his clothes were on point...well dressed
Shout out to TC, very sad that this happened to him. Shout out to the interviewer too, he usually does a good job and his tone and flow of the interviews are great. Very conversational and easy to listen to.
Somebody hire this man!
