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

[@abbyab8132]

And The small stint on “The Wlaking Dead” which I thought would be his comeback but he’s doing his thing on Abott and I too am proud

[@Q................]

[@yumyum215]

Okay!!!

[@OliviaPeterson]

For real 😂

[@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 💫

[@CUZN1]

[@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.

[@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!😍🥰😘💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

[@christenford3864]

He's been cute for a while. I'm so glad he seems to have grown into a well adjusted adult.

[@chillbest14]

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

[@mys3682]

Especially when that crazy Ava comes around 🤣🤣🤣

[@chillbest14]

[@abigailgex9782]

His outfit is so fire. I love it

[@starrdean4614]

Hell, yea!!🥰💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

[@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.

[@starheartskull15]

Omg that Henry winkler moment was so adorable

[@travisinthetrunk]

Every Henry Winkler moment is adorable.❤

[@VieenRennes]

He deserves to be apart of this incredible show! So happy for him.

[@starrdean4614]

Me 2!😍🥰😘🖤💓🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤

[@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 🤣

[@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!

[@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]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Fluuuv]

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

[@deborahblackshear3325]

Love this young man. Wishing him much success.

[@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

[@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.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

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

[@toribrown2443]

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

[@mudcrunch6955]

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

[@moniquecobb9051]

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

[@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!

[@DistractedDaisy]

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

[@MCMNasty2]

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

[@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

[@donniee.2238]

Love him. Class act. I pray he keeps the course

[@seinfarage9959]

Such a gentleman 😊 love from Sènègal

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

[@christianharbin7979]

Yo Tyler’s line up is cleeean!!

[@Sara-qw7lc]

I really just started watching the show and now I can’t stop watching this man’s interviews!

[@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!

[@cliobhabie]

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

[@silverhakusho]

Same here

[@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.🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💖💋💐💐💐

[@starrdean4614]

I totally agree with that, he’s really earning even more success in his career, & I’m soooooooooooo very very VERY proud of Tyler!😍🥰😘💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💕🖤💞🖤💘🖤💞🖤💕🖤💘🖤

[@paytonmccarrell7639]

I just adore him

[@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😅

[@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

[@spritals]

What a fun, beautiful man. Thanks for this.

[@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!"🎵

[@JustDeJane]

I’m so happy for Tyler!!! 🤎

[@susanalabi6809]

Love love Tyler in all the movies I've seen him in😍

[@asteverino8569]

I love Mr Williams. Thanks for it all. 🎉

[@TheLovely990]

Talented young man. He got hip hop skills, and acting. Blessings to him.💯💐❤️

[@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.

[@MelissaPensItDown]

Love his laugh 😂🫶🏾

[@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.

[@QueenZsWorld]

his NY accent never left 😂 even though his character is from B'more. I love TJW & his brothers

[@andreyamatthew2035]

He is everything 💕💕💕💕

[@niltash4ever]

Chrissssssss. “Lil dude from across the street”.

[@mercyhouse1]

Love him and his relationship with the lens

[@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.🤗💐💋

[@amandabrown5555]

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

[@jackandthebeanstalk4253]

Happy that the cast finally made their pilgrimage to Philly

[@Gorgeousbronze1]

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

[@julesb2415]

Wow he's so handsome, I'm so glad to see him be up for awards and on a hilarious sitcom that's doing well. He was awesome in everybody hates Chris.

[@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"😂😂😂
