During the next to last season, TC explained that he felt like he was about to be fired when his character was moving to London. He was assured that he wasn't being fired, but after the episode aired, TC revealed that he got the news. TC then stated that the show wasn't the same, and it ended after the following season. To hear more, including TC speaking about royalties from the show, hit the above clip.

Bro's character was an intelligent, confident, conscious, gainfully employed, loyal friend. Guess that was too good of a depiction of a black male for TV.
jahivah
You already know bruh 😒✊.
Facts and he wasn't gay
He depicted a conscious brother in Corporate America in the 90s. I remember the episode where his locks was an issue at the job.
Yep. That's the way it goes
@CStarz his character definitely wasn't
Pre internet days Living Single, NY Undercover, The Roc Show, & Hanging w/Mr Cooper was the shit 🔥 🔥... Damn I missed the 90's
Yes sir
It's still on TV every morning along with Martin and Fresh prince
Growing up in the 90s was the best
The golden era of black TV.
💯💯💯💯
He looks amazing. His voice is amazing. There is no Living Single without Kyle Barker Baby!!!
His voice is the voice of a God killer ;)
That’s the Barker Magic baby😉
Kyle was the strong alpha male of the show. We know they don't want that image for black males on television, come on now.
💯 Big facts
That argument is growing stale, and assumes blacks have no control over their work.
@@Powerule23 pretty much.....
@@Powerule23 this comment here, we need to stop thinking there is some grand conspiracy, if you listen to the interviews they just had a problem with him being out spoken, which is wack in itself.
This the one right here big facts
I appreciate this character so much now. This was the 1st articulate, stylish straight black male with taste and class I had ever seen on television. At that time I believe he was the only. The black depiction was so in a box at that time. TC is always going to be a legend to me, and I wish I to have the opportunity to thank him one day.
My thoughts exactly and the brother was Shop Sharp as a tack
They had Jeffrey on fresh prince there were others.
@@Eye2Eye24 he was the help
Geoffrey was a butler
To this day, not many black male characters like him if any. Young, handsome, strong, black, confident and successful.
Its because he has a powerful personality. Hollywood likes submissive.
You mean militant!
Damn I never knew this.... After he got fired the show was never the same
right, 💯👏👌☝️👆👍🗣️💬 the new actor he was replaced with wasn't a good fit at all.
I don't remember the show without him. I guess I had stopped watching by then.
@@Donte821 you didn’t miss anything
@@Donte821
Me too. I was never a major Living Single fan, so I never realized he was gone. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@Donte821 that use to be the show u missed alot don't listen to them they probably was too young or watching friends
Regardless, I still Loved his character on Living Single. He definitely added something extra to the show
He was the show. Eventually, they would've had to start increasing his pay that's why they cut em. Everyone else just followed orders and was ok with whateva they were getting paid cause they had nothing else.
I miss the 90's shows.
@@KNByam yea me to but the discrimination between black actors/actresses and Hollywood in the 90's was unbearable.
@@yfndorsey1582 I'm confused cuz Queen Latifah was a star in her own right at that point
@@81sexislim she was in the rap game. But them TV checks hit a lil bit different
Any character from Living Single couldn't be replaced!
Glad he is still getting the royalty $$'s. It was a dope show and he did a great job with his character
They replaced him with that light-skin guy...show failed.
$5 if you can name him?? Lol
@@kevinlowman2808 I didn’t even know he was replaced!! Lol
@@kevinlowman2808 you want that in singles?....lol
@@lisavee4670 lmao!!
@Tony P lol
I was so glad to hear they get royalties man that's amazing.
Max and him fighting made the show for me.
Yup this was my favorite show, up they had the best comebacks,
That was the soul of the show
Yes
Indeed
It did for me to. But i watched the show when i was like 5 6 and 7. Now that im an adult. I dont like the fact that they had the darkest people goong at all the time. Same way i felt about martin and Pam. Its funny but it rubs me the wrong way
He only missed 10 episodes and the show was cancelled.
What episodes did he miss?? He was in all of em if I can remember
@@nme.00104 it was season 4 that he left cause season 5 that's when they didn't wanted him back smh I believe I can be wrong but I'm actually watching the awhole series of living single right now I'm on s5 when they don't have tc Carson in it, but let me ask you a question if they fired him then how come they brought him back on season 5?? When they had their Christmas get together u remembered that episode??
@@nme.00104 yeah thats messed up, an I understand Queen had her own thing going on, but she still could've help him out of his defense or Kim or john like you said, don't get me wrong I love me some queen latifah.. but she should've atleast did that I mean they all knew he was fire after he mentioned about going to London they could've just told him instead of continuing to acting on the script cause he really went there smdh there's so much more I wanted to say but they could've kept him on the last season too it's not the same without him, cause of Mel Jackson even though he's alright actor but like Kyle barker will say ( it's KYLE BABY) (IN MY KYLE BARKER VOICE) LOL. (I CAN HEAR HIM LAUGHING RN AN SAYING SOMETHING TO ME LOL
@@quincypowell3101 Queen did fight for a lot on the show. They wanted to fire Kim Coles because she was gaining too much weight until Queen fought for her against the producers to keep her on the show. There’s a lot of things they all fought together against but you have to remember that they are actors who carrying out someone’s else vision. They also have to make end’s meat and have their own personal lives to worry about.
@@quincypowell3101 after Synclair and Overton got married he was gone
You gotta respect this BLACK MAN!!!
Max and Kyle fighting was imo the best roasting I've ever seen between a black man and black woman and that's against Martin and Pam and Esther and Fred
Period
Martin n pam was the best
@Attila Steele Esther and Fred were EPIC.
Major cap. Martin and Pam were unmatched
Iono bro Pam N Martin never fucked but max n Kyle eventually started fukin etc they were ruthless against each other
This happens in all walks of life/work/entertainment/ sports... if a black person raises a concern it’s “complaining” 🧐
@Perverted Alchemist yep, no shit crumbs around your mouth you have to go.
You're so right! Even in my relationship with my fiancee when I raise a concern " I'm complaining"
TC Carson and DL Hughley are fashion blueprints for mature black men (although that necklace ain't for everyone, playboy rocked it).
Indeed; however, Blaire Underwood is the epitome of how mature Black men should represent themselves. I have always emulated my style from him; the brotha is smooth and debonair.
DL does too much with his outfits.
Dl hughley sucks.
This Guy Is Smooth
Super
Vlad, your best interviews are when you interview real black legends and genuine people from the culture.
Loved his character and delivery. He made my mom laugh all the time.
Wow. Him and Erika Alexander's birthday is the same day.
Yes, indeed.
@@misterbee66 They had the same Dreadlocks too. LOL.
@@decacards5250 Yep, lol. Soulmates. Lol.
@@decacards5250 Erika had braids
What I luv about this interview is that Carson really dressed up for the show. The accents are perfect. I really appreciate the time he took for this thoughtful sartorial expression!
TC’s character on the show was a good role model for young black men
Young professional etc
Living single was my shit back in the day. I’m a true 90’s baby. New York Undercover, Living Single, & Martin was one of the hardest lineups ever on TV. True 90s baby. 💯
yea you definitely a true 90s baby.. I remember sitting in my living room as a kid and watching these with my mother. fuuuck I miss those times
My mother still watches the reruns on the daily
@@alishaeed6608 💯
@@pontiacGXPfan ✊🏾
The "jazz club" episode of L.S. was so poignant and funny as well. One of their best. You played that role, TC 👍
His character had the most range out of everyone on the show.
TC still went on to do great things so sad that happened to him
Your act like he doing bad.look how he looks he getting royalties......he hansome man he living his best life he living his life but look what happen the show end radeings went down and it wasn't the same karma got to them cause the show ended
The show crashed and burned after he was fired!!!
Worse than him in Final Destination 2
Facts
You can't have a machinery with 6 equally important parts, and expect that it'll still work fine after removing 1.
The thing was he and Max had that chemistry people haven't seen since the 70s black man vs black woman roast session battles. It was different so with him gone the spice was gone. It's like James Evans dying on Good Times without him it's just...... Regular
@@clevelandbci9562 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ugh, that episode that he leaves was so sad. You could tell that he and the rest of the cast was genuinely sad. The line where he goes, “say goodbye, Khadijah...” and tells Max, “you’re gonna miss me.” Whew. 🥺
The original voice actor of God of war kratos
Facts
His voice was epic for kratos. too bad by PT 3 kratos voice got annoying
U ain't lying didn't like the voice Kratos from ps4 Christopher judge he didn't say much 😒 tc Carson was epic kratos
Ian Hutton I like them both
@@damonmebane410 thats cool its just my personal opinion Christopher judge is cool but t.c. was on point with Kratos voice its almost like u can't denied mark Hamill for having the idea voice of joker or Kevin Conroy as batman
Kyle and Overton those characters brought life to the show without them the show would have been Really boring
Truth
See i said the same thing to this chick and she got in her feelings, saying that I was showing signs of being anti feminist.
I hated Overton and Sinclair. They were both simple and dimwitted as all get out.
Lol Overton was the definition of country bumpkin and Sinclair was super ditzy but they got some episodes together that slap
PREACH man 🙌🙌. Everytime they came on I always find myself on the floor holding my stomach from laughing. I dont know what the hell is on T.V. now. I wish they had the DVD for living g single. I would buy without hesitation!
I bet TC could just read someone to filth...
Fun fact: He actually voice acted for kratos in the God Of war series.
I hope he asks why he's not the voice anymore.
I didint know that
Also voiced Mace Windu of Star Wars and Akuma of Street Fighter
Edit: I provided some misinformation about tc voicing akuma. Apologies.
@@FIJFIY87 Yes. Please.
@@TheFreshSoundsFlorida He voiced Akuma?! In which Streetfighter games?!
His arrogant & cocky character was great t.v.
Played himself
He wasn't arrogant and cocky at all. He was a strong black male who was opinionated, intelligent and respectful. I never got an arrogant vibe from him on that show.
@@canibusnj i dont kno what show u was watchin! Look up arrogant & get bac 2 me fam!
@@westphillybull3593 Dude, you're from Philly just like me. I can show you or point you in the direction of arrogant and cocky fam. ijs
Cocky basically means arrogant, but he wasn’t arrogant because his confidence wasn’t exaggerated. Prideful? For sure. Maybe even a little vain.
We already know how andre 3000 will look like in the future now
Why are these old guys so smooth? What ever happened to our race? Damn
@Blaque Pulse facts the black community owes C Deloris Tucker an apology
He got his grandma necklaces on
@Attila Steele this is well said. A man can be raised a man without a father in the home - any man who lost his father at a young age can show you this. However, what cannot happen is a man being raised to be a man by a woman who rejects all masculine, manly influence on the child's life.
It takes a village and these feminists have effectively killed all the men in the village. I don't blame them though, they don't know better. It's up to the men to become men again.
@@MrColdwilliam how did the feminist collectively kill of the men of the village?
@Blaque Pulse hey Pac tried his best to counter her but ended up sounding like her, especially when he tried to confront others about what they said, like Snoop for admitting to still liking some Bad Boy artists during their feud or Chris Rock for the difference between blacks and n*ggas joke.
Don't get me wrong RIP to Tupac but it is what it is.
The movie *Final Destination* was the only role I seen him in outside of *Living Single*
He was in Gang Related with Tupac and Jim Belushi
Facts
He came in Greenleaf
@@colossus112785 really? I never remembered that
Yea he was in Gang Related and also U571 with Matthew McConaughey. He also did a couple of cartoon voice acting shows..
Makes me happy he continues to get royalties. Him and Max are my legit FAVORITE characters ❤❤
Living single reminds me of nyc in the 90s watching it back in my older years I really appreciate the show even more now
All I hear is Kratos from God of War when he speaks lol
I am still mad at they changed Kratos' voice.
@@shaojiehuang7402 agreed!!
I can’t unhear it
aged well...no wrinkles no saggy skin its just like he repaced the dark hair with grey hair but still looks healthy
Thats not tc.....mask
You'll probably have all that. Stop making looks an idol. Let these people age in peace.
@@janepatton8100 Ok ...Wow .thanks for the great advice!
To return the favor my only advice to you would be to Stop assuming things about people you dont know and spreading your negative energy in RUclips comment sections addressing people who simply make postive observations....But Other than that..
🎉Happy New Year!!🎉
@@one7deep7savage7
How about you stop judging people's looks who didn't ask for your opinion... That's how we got here.
Haven't you heard, it's not nice to judge. And there's no caveat for "positive" judgements.
Happy New Year!!!!
@@janepatton8100 yup...you really are a special one arent you? Since you obviously are not comprehending whats happening here and seem incredibly dedicated on giving people unnecessary life lessons, ill try to break things down in the most simple way possible.
1.) - The Misinterpretation
I wasnt "judging" him. I was giving him compliments on staying healthy since the last time I saw him.. which was about 20 years ago.
(Huge difference between being judgmental and admiration)
2.) - The hypocrisy
Nobody asked for your opinion either. Yet you still decided to chime and voice your opinion..as well as the 684 other people voicing their opinions in the comment section.
3.) The Delusion
- Complimenting an Actor d
from a Television show on their health is not "How we got here" at all. YOU got here by trying to sound more Intelligent on the internet than you really are SO BAD that you ended up turning positivity into negativity. I got here from an entirely different route as well as everybody else who seem to be in good pretty good spirits. (You were only one who took the scenic route)
4.) The Conclusion
- This entire conversation we are having is REALLY stupid..lol borderline retarded..I had to lower my vibration to even get on your level which is why I usually dont acknowledge comments like yours and if you decide to @me AGAIN for some reason im definitely not going to respond. I really hope you realize that everything you said here was 100% pointless and you accomplished absolutely nothing.
Although I will admit it was an admirable attempt to sound smart at first, but I stopped taking you seriously when you blew it by saying 'nobody asked for your opinion"
🎉WELL DONE!🎉
Yo my dude TC CARSON has always been out the box flyyyyyy🛫😎🤙🏻 I see you GOD OF WAR 💯
Real underrated show, classic
Cant even remember the last season. It’s like the season when Martin and Gina couldn’t be in same room
This show is hysterical. Too bad they fired him and then it ended a season after. The chemistry in their group was what made it special. Huge mistake for the ones who decided to remove one of them, LESSON LEARNED!👊🏼
Man it still hurts him the way the Fired him. Understandably so. Arguably the most important role on the show
yes you are right. hollywood/white people dont want to see it.
Loved the show as a youth and I'm glad that despite him being wronged and the show not working out that he can continue to benefit off the work he put in
Still watching living single ♥️♥️♥️☺️
I feel sense dat hes stll heartbroken Abt the situation. Strong brotha. God bless.
Living Single, God Of War, Star Wars, and Afro Samurai. What a great career this brother has!
This the longest I’ve seen Vlad talk to someone without asking about biggie and Tupac
Vlad is pretty good when he doesn't interview rappers, beatmakers/producers, deejays, and people involved in Hip Hop street shit.
Hes gonna ask. He was in a movie wit pac
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Can we talk about for a second how handsome this guy is look at the style look at the grace
This is the voice of Kratos...Legendary.
I absolutely love living single for me it was my favorite show of the 90s and there was so many gooooood shows back then but this one was my favorite and Kyle Barker was my favorite character i’m so sorry it ended the way it did it deserved of the season with the whole cast 🙏🏾
I was staring at his necklace the whole time 🔥
An I watch over an over.. from beginning to End❤❤❤
It's crazy how social media platforms changed Hollywood's power structure, at least in the way they deal with "black sheeps" in the family. I DISTINCTLY remember the word on the street being he chose to leave to focus on his film career. Now I realize stories like that used to get put out there so there wouldn't be backlash from the fans/community. Thanks for this Vlad... 🙏🏾
I remember. When his character left the show... I did too
There needs to be a Living Single movie. PERIOD 🎉
So sorry to hear about this. I always enjoyed his work. Great actor...
He made one of the best portrayals of an educated brotha ever!
Very powerful interview!!! Damn I love the energy T.C displayed!!! 🫡
TC still has that “Kyle” swag
This guy sharper then a museum art pic 😎
I liked him on Living single.. He did a good job.. he was part of a really good show.
I hope I grow to be soulful with a mindset like TC
My brother has aged well. Classy. Great skin. Well groomed. I salute the man 👏🏽👏🏽
Wow. He is 62 yrs old!
Kyle was the strong articulate educated brother that you rarely saw on tv back then respect brother.
James Evans paved the way.
So his peers put him out to be the face of their plight and they didn't back him up? They should have all walked off the set but this goes to show Black folks aren't unified.
Unfortunately, you're right.
Found my daughter's missing vanity mirror.
😂😂😂
Ctfu
I was looking at it thinking I want it.
😂
😭
He got to show the world a sophisticated black man‼️
they would hate for that image to come out
I only watch the reruns when ya on it. You and Max used to have me in stitches. OMG. LOL
This is a prime example why black folks need to get and own their own platform, because when you rely on these big companies and people from outside the culture, they get to dictate your reality, tell you what to do and if they feel like your not willing to bow down, they will kick you to the curb and spit on your name. Im just glad this brother stood strong and didnt sell his soul for the check
You didn't hear him say he was disparaged by a brother at an audition?
@@brownin329 i think your confused, im referring to him being on the show (living single) , toward the end of the show, they had gotten white producers and white writers. So alot of the authenticity of the show was getting watered down.
What your referring to is after he got fired from living single, he went to another audition and he said when he got There, the black guy who was doing the audition was in the room with a butch of white guys and basically said ( I heard you difficult and hard to work with) and he said he walked out because he felt they black guy wasnt gonna give him a fair shot
I’m glad to hear they are still getting paid
This man is a God damn consummate professional 💪 Tyler Perry needs to get him a proper job
Damn shame! Season 5 of Living single could have been so much better. I’m glad he did return in the last episode of the show.
It wasn't the same show after he left. He is right about that.
4:45 wow!! Inaudible cough blew my mind 😆
Kyle character was a chocolate strong black intelligent force and when they fired him. The show suffered.
This story hurts.wanting the best for this good brother.
So Kim Fields, who was actually older than him in the sense of being on sitcoms longer, didn't speak up?
💯👍👌👏☝️👆🗣️💬 or queen latifah,
Ironically, SHE left the show too....🤔🤔🤔
TC got some killer eyes doe am I trippin or is that just the lighting?
His eyes are beautiful, it looks honey brown.
When you are a strong and confident individual. You intimidate others. Sad. But true
They messed up firing him.
Now he’s older with grey hair, he looks like a total different person.
He looks like Sterling Brown from This Is Us
Come on bro! I love his sense of pride. Ma man.
About 15 years ago I saw him in a Macy commercial singing in the background. I thought to myself man his carreer must of taking a hit.
1:49-1:53
T.c.:"How would you feel if someone took your other half away?"
Vlad: ( pauses for a few seconds thinking about lord jamar and godfrey)
🥺🥺🥺
Livin Large was the shit back in the day....damn I'm old...✌🏾
I think that they didn’t understand him as a person.
For those that don't know, TC was the voice of Kratos from the God Of War games. 💰
I’m generally happy for TC that he gets Royalties 👍👍
i know what he dealt with, jobs/companies love door mats, when you ain't in the click they drag your name through the mud, if you don't show you are intimidated by them that makes it worse, they hate you more, i say FUCK EM and move on
Why didn't the rest of the cast stand up for him?
Self preservation...people have families to feed
@@JayWilliams-ie4ke that's a valid point. But one of the reasons why all 6 cast members of friends got paid 1 million per episode, is they negotiated as 1. Remember some characters were more popular than others.
TC was one of best cast. First was Tootie, then Latifah, Max, and then TC. @@neglakay4373
The necklace is fire
I love this show, it's one of the top ten best shows of all time with an all black cast. People will smile in your face and do all types of crooked stuff behind your back. That's what happened to this guy.
Kyle Barker👏🏾👏🏾 he’s right, the show wasn’t the same after he left. And you see they bought him back for the series finale.
He also in a movie called livin large it’s fye🔥
