Tyler James Williams on Playing a Teacher on Abbott Elementary & Going to the Emmys

[@adityadharma]

Why do I feel so proud of him?? I loved Everybody Hates Chris as a kid, and now I love him on Abbott Elementary. He's so humble, funny, and likable.

[@kathleenuclear]

We basically got to watch him grow up! It's great to see that he's gotten even better at his craft as an adult, he's super deserving of all his success.

[@msaddique6475]

He’s been on broad way as well he’s kept a bag

[@ramblingrahema2125]

He said, "I cried the whole day...I had to take a nap after that." He truly knows how crying works 😭 So happy he seems happy with this new gig. He has also glowed all the way up. The style, smile, hands, everything. Whew 💫

[@kathleenuclear]

Gregory looking in the camera deadpan is one of my favorite running gags on the show.

[@sptauto]

I remember seeing him in the Disney movie 'Let It Shine' years ago. I used to watch that a lot when I was younger, and I'm glad to see he's doing well.

[@joshuahendricks7201]

Let it shine was MY MOVIE!! Thanks for bringing it up.

[@ShysHubby]

Classic

[@rugr82day]

Also that movie "Unaccompanied Minors" about some kids spending Christmas in an Airport. It's only on Netflix during the Holiday season.

[@chillbest14]

His stares to the camera are hilarious 😂😂 Love this show

[@mys3682]

Especially when that crazy Ava comes around 🤣🤣🤣

[@chillbest14]

@@mys3682 we don't wanna get sticky do we?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MsAfroStar]

He's so chill and down to earth 😊❤

[@jesuscage]

He's on TV he's not going to be shitty with Jimmy

[@sarahleidhold740]

I wanted this audience to laugh and cheer more, especially at the beginning, because he deserves it.

[@dakotac180]

He grew up to be so fine. I love his character on Abbott too he plays the awkward character really well.

[@starrdean4614]

I totally agree with u! Every time I watch Abbott Elementary, I can’t even focus on every episode I watch by me flirting over this one incredible man!😍🥰😘💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

[@abigailgex9782]

His outfit is so fire. I love it

Hell, yea!!🥰💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

[@shan0997]

So proud of this guy. A child star who has never had a scandal attached to him. AE is very funny!

[@claudinehall3013]

His outfit and sitting posture is giving me (grown, sexy, 70s prince-ish) vibe ❤

[@PrincessPowerUp]

i love it 🎠

[@user-np4su7yj7k]

He’s so handsome I cant believe how fast time flies. I really loved watching everybody hates Chris and now this is my new comfort show

[@phyllisgarrison3561]

I knew that his future was solidified, because as a child he knew his craft. Everybody Hates Chris was one of my favorite shows. Congrats! TJW!

[@Theimmortalmisfit]

If there is a biopic for eddie murphy he would be phenomenal.

[@rinitutu_162]

Agree👍🏾

[@Lcarter52]

More like a biopic for Chris Rock 😉

[@ForeverSweetx3]

Yesss he looks more like Murphy than Rock.

[@jimbob2826]

So proud of this man and all his accomplishments, everybody hates Chris is literally my childhood

[@starrdean4614]

Yea, me 2! He totally rocks on that show back then, & now he also totally rocks in “Abbott Elementary”, YOW!!!❤️‍🔥🔥🎸🤟🏾

[@Angel-eq9tq]

Was a good show.

[@RinaIsForever]

Watch EHC all the time used to watch it everyday at night on Nick @ Night and I still watch the full series on Tubi every few months to a year 🤣

[@Fluuuv]

His explanation of developing a relationship with the lens 🤣🤣. His camera stares are so good.

[@VieenRennes]

Me 2!😍🥰😘🖤💓🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤

[@starheartskull15]

Omg that Henry winkler moment was so adorable

[@travisinthetrunk]

Every Henry Winkler moment is adorable.❤

[@goldenlifelove7251]

I'm so happy for him! He seems so humble & I can't believe how much he's grown & developed.

[@jesuscage]

His death as Noah in the walking dead was brutal, he's grown ALOT since then

[@willowbe4747]

He has the type of body in which clothes just hang wonderfully on him. Love his style, voice and mannerisms. He can wear white after Labor Day and pull it off.

[@prettybrowneyez29]

Yes, it reminds me of Chadwick Boseman..they look amazing in thier clothes and style.

[@tvKashon]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@dreadee5757]

He continues to make me a proud Auntie. 💜

[@landonfolken03]

That first moment with Henry is great with him down the steps. He looks like he was squished up standing among really tall people.

[@lillianlopez2691]

Love this charming young man. He's A GREAT addition to the program, which I've been following since the first episode. It's such a sweet, funny, and quirky program. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@deborahblackshear3325]

Love this young man. Wishing him much success.

[@shelocsher2396]

So proud of him 😆💛 he’s grown up so well. So entertaining. His folks did such a great job.

[@toribrown2443]

I loved when the fonz said that’s from a human being to a human being. That was powerful

[@thrshwll1526]

He's as cute as he can be and so intelligent. Beautiful spirit. Love it

[@thestormlscoming]

The Sean Bean always dies joke went over everyone's head. I appreciated it, Tyler

[@mudcrunch6955]

This guy was great as young Chris, and he is sensational in Abbott Elementary. Good going, man!

[@DistractedDaisy]

What a grown up! Very few stars show that maturity.

[@LisaLGruman]

After hearing about his being a teacher someone would really want to have in their life now makes me want to watch this show so I’m going to start watching, thank you!

[@moniquecobb9051]

He’s grown up to be SOOOOOO HANDSOME!❤ So proud of him!!!

Me 2! 😍🥰😘💘🖤💞🖤💓🖤💕🖤💘🖤💞🖤💓🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💓🖤💞🖤💕🖤

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

The camera loves him, and he loves it, right back!🤗🤗🤗💐💋

[@MCMNasty2]

I love him. He’s so great. I also thought what he was saying about Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay was hilarious.

[@andreyamatthew2035]

Tyler deserves all the success he's basking in💜

[@starrdean4614]

Yaaaaaaas! 😍🥰😘💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

[@asiawasia6004]

i love his lil peace sign he’s so cute 😂☺️

[@missmelonah]

He needs to play Eddie Murphy in a biopic, he looks so much like a young Eddie.

[@ziggyustar3137]

I don't see it at all/ he is really comfortable being famous that's the only thing they resemble/ both men are comfy in their own situation not appearing to reach it's just there on the tip of their fingers/ appearance aside that's what actors do

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

@@ziggyustar3137 why are you/ talking like this/ it's incoherent

[@zikhonamahlulo8069]

No

[@MayorOfTheCaribbean]

I see a bit of Will Smith in there too

[@sandrallewellyn2632]

There was a "rumor" going around that he was Orlando Jones' son😅

[@simsimasgaming]

The care that he takes in his heart to share goodness is beautiful.

[@antoniothompson5514]

Dude’s look is so fresh and so clean clean!

[@amandabrown5555]

The way he said he needed a kidney transplant and my dad got one off the black market w such pride 😂😂

[@cliobhabie]

I love him! As a chronic illness warrior, I love seeing him do so well

[@silverhakusho]

Same here

[@Divigne]

I just love his role on Abbott Elementary. He was perfect for the part ❤❤

[@seinfarage9959]

Such a gentleman 😊 love from Sènègal

[@Gorgeousbronze1]

Professional. CONFIDENT. Transitioned to a awesome functioning adult. LOVE IT for him. Did yall notice he didn't say "uumm" one time? 😄

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

Tyler really has grown into a lovely, and handsome man.🤗I hope he continues to grow, and take his rightful place-which is a Larry Fishburne situation, I believe.🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💖💋💐💐💐

[@MySistah]

I said the same thing! Yes I see that too

[@amandabrown5555]

“My friend, THE lens” 🤣😂

[@heather54101]

And when he looks at it, you can really feel the connection to you-- not everyone has that ability

[@mys3682]

I love his character "Gregory" ❤ Gregory always finds a way to support his co-workers. I'm ready to see Janine and Gregory attempt at a relationship.

[@christianharbin7979]

Yo Tyler’s line up is cleeean!!

[@dmateo22]

He is hilarious and very clever.

[@PerksofHeartShakes]

He was on the Disney Channel original movie Let It Shine with Courtney B Vance and Coco Jones. And more recently he was in Billie Holiday vs. The United States. Great performances in both from him. He’s more than just Everybody Hates Chris.

[@brandnewcole]

Oh THAT'S who Coco Jones is! I loved that movie and she is so good in Bel-Air!

[@Linknla]

All i hear is "EVERYBODY HAA-AAATES CHRIIIIIIS!!!!!" :D super proud of him making his way in the biz!

[@LuckyStrikeFilmsStudio]

he is such a great actor met him at the Emmy after party, he was cool, hope to one day work with him in one of my films

[@EnchantedStringsToronto]

I know he is no longer on the show, but I can't get the song out of my head. Cue "Everybody hay-aye-ts Chriiiissss!"🎵

[@OliviaPeterson]

So proud of this guy! He’s so talented and has come so far :)

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

He’s been someone I’ve been watching since his first series Everybody Hates Chris to the Walking Dead and Abbot Elementary. He’s around the same age as my son and I’m very happy for his success.

[@ziggyustar3137]

I love this guy in everything he has been in... Yup all of it

[@QueenZsWorld]

I think it's funny that there's a character or actor named Chris on every show he's been on and I'm wondering if he ever turns his head when somebody says "Chris"😂😂😂

[@asteverino8569]

I love Mr Williams. Thanks for it all. 🎉

[@paytonmccarrell7639]

I just adore him

[@MelissaPensItDown]

Love his laugh 😂🫶🏾

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

P. S. Tyler looks super-sharp. He is very fashionable, very current, but not flashy in any way. I understand her peribellum behavior is questionable, but Coco Chanel would have loved what he is wearing. Hell, she could have dressed him, herself. Smooth, and well done.🤗💐💋

[@JustDeJane]

I’m so happy for Tyler!!! 🤎

[@theandroidgamer2001]

He killed that outfit

[@yumyum215]

He is just effortlessly funny 😂🤣🤣

[@cheebiumi8715]

They definitely need to stop killing him in things. I grew up with everybody hates Chris so it bothers me to see that he hardly gets the spotlight. However, I’m proud for him and of him he made it this far
