T.C. Carson finally told the truth about his premature departure from the blossoming show Living Single after around 22 years of silence (he disappeared from the 108th episode, and the show ended in the 188th episode).
When asked about his departure from the show in a 2020 interview with Comedy Hype, he blatantly stated, “I got fired.” When explaining why he was fired, he didn’t shy away from mentioning his internalized racism.
When it came to script quality, T.C was the spokesperson for the entire crew, treating the artists on set with the show’s directors as if it were an ego problem rather than a serious worry. He exclaimed,
He went on to say that the Warner Brothers underfed Living Single, but they established F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and gave it their all.
“We were getting less than all the way around and then they created friends and gave them everything…. and both shows were warner brothers shows…. on warner brothers….. lots, yeah you know so to watch that, to be on our lot and to watch that was really kind of a slap in the face”, T.C.

Relationship Status
T.C. Carson drew a lot of attention in his personal life thanks to a significant hit character like Kyle Barker. Due to the actor’s ambiguous relationship status, many thought that he was a closeted gay guy. T.C.’s portrayal of a gay sympathizer in a rom-com is also noteworthy.
Relax… It’s Only Sex was so convincing that the public frequently mistook him for a reclusive gay. The range of speculation extends not just to his sexuality, but also to his connection with his Living Single co-star, Erika Alexander.
Despite being spotted together on the red carpet on several occasions, the couple does not have love sentiments. In fact, he never forgets to add the prefix “sister” to Erika’s name when addressing her. Aside from the show, Erika and T.C. have a fantastic friendship and have the same birthday, November 19.
What is T.C. Carson going to do now?
T.C. worked on projects such as Clifford The Big Red Dog (2000-2003), Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003-2005), Afro Samurai (2007), Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2020), and a television drama called Last Call after being fired from the Living Single.
The actor is also well-known for his music. It all started in 2015, when he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, from Los Angeles, California, with the sole aim of pursuing a career in music. When asked why he chose to transfer in an interview with ILoveOSMusic, he stated,
“I wanted to do other things and in LA if…you’re not doing film and television then you’re not being recognized got it…and so they didn’t really see the music…they didn’t really see the theater all…they wanted was the film and television stuff and I really want to do something else and I came to Atlanta because Atlanta’s energy is very creative.”
He is a member of the musical group “T.C. Carson,” which includes two other musicians on keyboards and bass. The calming classical blues and jazz tones are provided by the artist himself.
Music, on the other hand, is not a new genre for him. He launched his career in the 1980s with musical performances such as The Wiz, Ain’t Misbehavin’, and Dreamgirls.
With all of his hard work, his net worth is estimated to be approximately $3 million. However, the nearly 63-year-old is unmarried and has no children to whom he may pass on his fortune. We presume that when the time comes, it will be given to his family, friends, or perhaps a charity.
