LOS ANGELES – Actor Tommy Davidson guest stars in a new episode of CBS’s “Poppa’s House,” reuniting him with longtime friend and co-star Damon Wayans Sr. In “Elevator Friend,” Davidson plays Jarnold, an old acquaintance Poppa encounters in their workplace elevator. The chance encounter leads to an invitation to a baseball game, prompting a reflection on the importance of friendship and connection.
Davidson shared his excitement about returning to work with Wayans, calling it “the best TV experience I’ve had in 50 years,” and highlighting the joy of reconnecting with the Wayans family and cast. He noted the significance of their on-screen chemistry for a new generation unfamiliar with their work on “In Living Color.”
The episode explores Poppa’s emotional immaturity and reluctance to build relationships, a theme contrasting with the close-knit Wayans family dynamic. Davidson commented on the generational differences shown in the episode, contrasting the American emphasis on casual friendships with the less interactive social norms he observed in other countries.
Davidson’s appearance offers a nostalgic element for fans of “In Living Color,” while also providing a heartwarming narrative about the value of maintaining relationships throughout life. The episode airs Mondays on CBS and is available to stream on Paramount+. Davidson is currently touring with Katt Williams and has a new single, “Stronger,” featuring Earth, Wind & Fire.
