EW has learned exclusively that Cosby Show alum Malcolm-Jamal Warner will appear in an upcoming episode of the NBC comedy as Andre, the ex-husband of Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown). Warner begins work this week on the single-camera show that also stars Joel McHale and Chevy Chase.
Warner starred in the NBC comedy The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992. He went on to co-headline in Malcolm & Eddie from 1996-2000. His other credits include a stint on Dexter and The Cleaner.
Awesome! Yay. So happy for him…
C’mon, shirley? Theo could do better than her, he had justine after all
EX-Husband, he actually left her for a bank teller
I thought he left her for a stripper? Anyway Shirley’s great. Our Miss Piggy -I mean Glenda- can do better than Theo.
I’m a little ‘meh’ on this casting, but if we’ll see more of Shirley in the episode, then I’m happy.
This!
My thoughts, exactly.
Very cool
sweet
Who did he play on Dexter?
I was wondering the same thing.
@Grubi
Ritas lawyer i believe
He looks like he could be related to Troy. I totally was thinking long lost family member.
haha i remember yvette nicole brown saying that she’s been asking for either him or isaiah mustafa to play her ex husba=nd. guess she got her wish!
Ummm I would much rather have Isaiah!
ditto
Let’s hope they’re saving him as a love interest. Intro to Biology anyone?? mmmm
His role in Jeremiah was pretty good. Can’t believe that was listed in the article.
it is unreal to me that this is where we are in society. This is an embarressment. I am a white female that grew up loving The Cosby Show, and Seinfeld. I absolutly Love them both. What is wrong with society?????????
WTF are you talking bout? No seriously, I have no idea.
Im sorry, is your name Michael Richards???????????????
UH…. Hello
Well thats what I thought, Nothing to say now. I will defeand him no mater what.
This comment is direct to Larry David.
I am extremely offended by your comments. I’m a black man and very proud to be one. I am a very successful black man and have been for a VERY long time. I have a very successful career as a Soldier in the US Army and I’ve served this country for 21yrs and counting. Part of my service is protect ignorant fools, such as yourself, to make hurtful and quite frankly, inaccurate statements such as the ones you’ve made here. On top of my successful military career, I’m also starting to have a successful acting career as well. I’ve just completed a stage production called, “Where Is UR Faith?” At the risk of blowing my own horn, it was very well-received. I don’t appreciate you coming here and stereotyping black men. Take a look around and be honest with yourself. There are many white men that are not successful as. If I were you, I wouldn’t talk too much trash. You just may end up on the wrong side if you aren’t careful. You have a good day Larry David.
We really need a “report” button to eliminate trolls like him. He doesn’t deserve your extremely articulate explanation, although I appreciate it.
Mr. Jones,
Larry David is an idiot and only wants to incite anger from people. He does this on EVERY topic. I know there are many good, successful black men like yourself out there. Ignore that fool.
And thank you for your service:)
Mr Jones – there is really no point in responding to people like Larry David on message boards. They say stupid stuff just to get a reaction. They don’t even necessarily believe what they say – they just want to lob bombs and see what happens. If you ignore them, they eventually go away.
You guys realize that tina and Mr. Jones ARE Larry David, right? A string of four pointlessly incited posts followed immediately by a completely random rant against a frequent EW troll who didn’t actually post anything on this particular article? Larry found another way to get our attention, and it worked.
Yeah, because I’m reading the comments and I do not see anything from Mr. Larry David unless EW removed the comment.
Yay!
I think he’ll be great on the show. He and Yvette Nicole Brown will probably have great chemistry…either as exes who hate each other, or as exes with unresolved business.
I think he’ll be a great fit on an already well-cast show.
Community has a great ensemble cast. To quote Dan Harmon’s Twitter quoting the AV club quoting a commenter:
“The cast of “Community” is Newsradian in their ensemblity.”
Malcolm-Jamal Warner seems like he’ll fit right in.
Well, consider my interest piqued. Theo Huxtable was SO yummy. (I swear that’s not creepy, he was always older than I was back when the show was on.) M-JW has certainly aged a bit since then, but he’s still looking mighty good!
I agree. I always had the biggest crush on him when he was on the Cosby Show and he has aged quite well in my opinion. I can’t wait to see him on the show!
