Erika Alexander Reacts to Queen Latifah's Rapid Fire Questions | The Drew Barrymore Show

[@dakotac180]

Erika was one of the first black women with my tone I saw on TV growing up, gorgeous TV legend. Love the yarn locs too

[@terseandtiny1746]

Did you need to see someone with your tone to be valid?

[@djoldsoulkid3407]

@@terseandtiny1746idk lol just like “white kids need to see themselves to feel valid”

[@mills9320]

​@djoldsoulkid3407 The forget how much they sucked up to Eminem and Mack Miller because they were like them. It's only a problem when its us. They know that they have a problem with it but still continue to invade our spaces instead of staying in their own

@@terseandtiny1746representation matters

[@heyyall5651]

​@@terseandtiny1746I'm assuming you're white so it's hard for you to imagine not seeing someone similar to what you look like in movies and tv. But imagine growing up with programming that only contained people of color and little to no white people. You would be excited to finally see someone that looked like you in a role.

We need a living single reboot please! I love Erika!!!

🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@clos4824]

Max was my favorite character on Living Single. Still looking great!

[@tiamarie1122]

[@BiracialTanika]

No we don't. Y'all need to learn to leave things in the past.

[@shaboom362]

Maybe we could see Max and Kyles child and if Overton and Sinclair had any kids. So it next generation and the OG cast make cameo appearances.

[@thefreakygeek8722]

I am so happy Erika is getting her flowers!!! And I am the hugest fan of Living single I’ve watched every episode no less then 100 times

[@rachellewizedome6643]

And still watch it on re-run

[@be.amazingkelly]

Erika needs her own podcast. She has such a brilliant mind.

[@RayLaw89]

She has a podcast called The Big Payback. It’s about reparations for Black folks.

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

Yes! I love hearing her talk about her family growing up.

[@talisha5863]

Those answers were fire🔥, especially the “wolf in her kitchen”🥺

[@pauladell2285]

I have loved her since she was "Pam" on the Cosby Show

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

Same.❤

[@CeceTvCeceTv]

Yessss❤❤❤

[@MrsMoses-ye9om]

Yessss!!! She and Charmaine were a funny pair 😂

[@letitiatsunami3749]

I loved cousin Pam too. I was so happy when she broke up with Slide. He was always in Shaniqua Watkins' (Cynthia Bailey) face anyway. AND if I'm telling all the truths, he got Charmaine pregnant in Lean on Me. 😂🤣😂🤣

[@pauladell2285]

@letitiatsunami3749 just a snake 🐍 😂😂😂😂😂

[@deewoo2776]

On the hit sitcom Living Single Erica Alexander's character "Maxine Shaw Attorney At Law" aka "The Maverick" was very iconic. She has a very memorable role on that show. I love the show period. The whole cast was funny. I watch the re-runs all the time. Remember this....Before "Friends" there was "Living Single". "Thee Original Sitcom" with a cast of all friends that knew each other. Khadijah, Synclaire, Maxine, Regine Kyle and Overton.

[@MrsMoses-ye9om]

That last part 💯💯💯

[@syki11]

I love Erika and glad she’s getting her due 💗🥹

[@MsDreamscaper]

It was touching when Kim Coles said her conwokers on Living Single never said jokes about her weight that were written on their scripts. Erica looks great. They all were so good on Living Single. I have Ever After and Wedding Singer with Drew on VHS. Two of ny favorite movies.

[@Asiacbrown80]

All the women were different shapes. Even Queen Latifah was on the bigger side. I remember the show even marketed it as that when promoting it.

[@jrlaz0001]

A true queen! So glad shes getting her flowers! 💐💐💐

[@danidragonfly]

I love Erika. She’s still absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤

[@jennbbosslady7238]

When to say this woman is my favorite!!! I had the honor of being her Lyft driver once… best ride ever!!! Love her always!!!

[@peter.parker3.0]

Erika Alexander is one of the most underrated black actresses of our generation...she deserves her flowers and then some! I will never forget Maxine ha!

[@kallen868]

Living Single was a great show! The original Friends.

[@cocoafemme47]

@kallen868: 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿"Living Single" was 300% better than . . . ."Friends." I had NO IDEA what the latter, was about. ZERO . . .substance 🙄🙄🙄.

[@ohjuice5867]

I can see how you would consider it the original "Friends". I kind of have the original "Friends" as Martin.

[@Lightdion]

FACTS!!!

[@michellelaguerre8760]

Yes it was

[@SexyButCurious]

Both were great to me 🤷🏾‍♀️. I can rewatch both shows like on repeat and still laugh.

[@jinakaye]

I am so glad Erika is getting her flowers. I enjoy watching whatever she's in-from “Living Single” to “Run the World”. I loved her character in “American Fiction” and wish she had been nominated for supporting actress for Coraline. I found her very relatable.

[@Farfar3881]

I love both Queen and Erika. I watch reruns in college. Love Drew also so nice to the guest.

[@missalphaomegagod-2u]
