Don't Be 'Hating' On Tichina Arnold

Actress and singer Tichina Arnold from Everybody Hates Chris came by to talk about the show.

Inspired by his childhood experiences, comedian Chris Rock narrates each episode, in which we are treated to glimpses of Rock's experiences growing up as the eldest of three children in Brooklyn, New York, during the early 1980s. When he finds himself suddenly uprooted and relocated to a predominantly white neighborhood, Rock finds himself struggling to belong, all the while dealing with family demands and junior high bullies. Arnold plays Rock's tough-loving mother, Rochelle.

Arnold was born in Queens. Before Everybody Hates Chris burst onto the scene, Arnold was most renowned for her role as Pamela James on Martin. She also played the recurring role of Nicole Barnes on the television series One on One. She has had her fair share of movie roles, including ones in films such as Big Momma's House and Wild Hogs.

Everybody Hates Chris airs Fridays at 8pm on WPIX.
