Regina Hall played the role of a Vivian, a nanny who knew how to put the Johnson children in their place. None but Jack managed to point that out while everyone else watched in amazement. More surprising than the fact that Charlie was marrying Vivica was the fact that Babyface was officiating the wedding. Babyfaceĭre and Charlie (Deon Cole) had a friendship that extended beyond work, but when it came to Charlie’s wedding to Vivica Fox, it was just his ‘work friend’s wedding.’ Dre was demoted from being Charlie’s best man and had to watch his wedding from the sidelines. In introducing the greats, including Lebron James, Spencer ended their accomplishments with a signature phrase, ’ And that’s a black person you should know’.While at it, the Hidden Figures star did not forget to reference her very much deserved Academy Award. The episode was one of few directed by Tracee Ellis Ross and had Spencer giving facts about important names in African American history. In 2019, Octavia Spencer joined the Black-ish cast in honor of Black History Month. She and Devante (August Cross) would be just fine. His mom agreed to have him work for Santamaria. Though Junior would have loved to work for Santa Monica, he felt overwhelmed by duties at home. She needed a new assistant, who could help her navigate religious waters, and Junior looked like the perfect fit. Santamonica thought God had bigger plans for Junior, who was ‘very talented’. She hardly put in the hard work and wasn’t particularly close to her sister when they were growing up.
Unlike Rainbow, she managed to navigate her way in life through chance. Rainbow’s sister Santamaria (formerly Santamonica) was one lucky lady. If he moved it to Colombus Day (which Rasheeda said was quite racist), he’d have a three-day weekend. She had great suggestions of her own regarding Dre’s holiday. Rasheeda thought anybody was better than her own dad, who followed her on Instagram, but hadn’t liked her pictures yet. Daddy’s Day was a new holiday sweeping the nation, spearheaded by Dre. Zendaya came into the Johnson household as Zoey’s friend Rasheeda, right around Dre’s big holiday, Daddy’s Day. “Ass Boy”, as Elroy called Dre, was in for a shock when Bea took her Boss’s side and gave him a smack. Drex, the ice delivery man, who’d been staring hard at Bea during her performance, nearly eloped with the apple of his eye, Bea, but her Boss Elroy wouldn’t let him. Diddy played the role of Elroy Savoy, a club owner who was interested in Drex’s dream girl Bea ( Tracee Ellis Ross). Blige happened to both appear on an episode of Black-ish at the same time. Asked about Elroy ( Sean Combs), she said he was only in love with himself, and asked Drex to fight for Bea. She wished somebody could love her half as much as Drex loved Bea. After her performance, she walked up to Drex (Anthony Anderson) and highlighted how he didn’t take his eyes off of Bea for a second. Blige showed up to resurrect the 1920s Harlem Reinassance by performing “I’m Going Down”. Bligeĭuring the show’s first season, Mary J. These are ten celebrities who made the storytelling worth the while: 10. Both times, Black-ish fans were glued to the screen. On one occasion, it was Octavia Spencer profiling the greats during Black History Month, and other times, Dre and Bow were having a light dinner with Michelle Obama. Through the seasons, the Johnson family has given us a couple of lessons about life and love, sometimes with the help of guest stars. Black-ish has been as entertaining as it is educative.
For eight seasons, America has ridden with the Johnsons.
