Their famed characters from “Martin” and “In Living Color” were apparently close to having their own feature.
The Martin reunion brought back fond memories of the 1990s hit comedy sitcom that has gone down in television history. Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, Thomas Mikal Ford, and Carl Anthony Payne were the core of the star-studded cast that brought laughs for years, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
The behind-the-scenes drama between Lawrence and Campbell was said to have aided heavily in the conclusion of the series, but 30 years later, the cast—sans Ford who passed away in 2016—came together for an unforgettable reunion. The re-gathering has sparked conversations of a potential reboot, but during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Lawrence didn’t seem to encourage the possibility.
Fallon spent the interview revisiting Martin‘s greatest moments and eclectic characters, and Questlove even joined in on the fun by answering a few trivia questions about the show. When Fallon asked about a reboot, Lawrence seemed hesitant.
“I think, well, you know, the Martin show was like catching lightning in a bottle and I don’t think we can redo that again,” he said. “I wouldn’t mind working with the cast again on something but I don’t think we can do that again.” Fallon suggested this would be “like the Martin Cinematic Universe,” to which Lawrence said he “would love to see a movie with Sheneneh.”
“We were supposed to do a movie with Sheneneh and Jamie Foxx with [his In Living Color character] Wanda, but that never came about,” Lawrence added. “If we could ever get that together, I think y’all would love this.”
