Erika Alexander Claps Back at David Schwimmer for Proposing an All-Black ‘Friends’ Reboot

David Schwimmer did an interview with The Guardian and spoke about the lack of diversity in the hit series, Friends.

Schwimmer, who portrayed Ross in the hit 90’s series must’ve been wearing a cape when he suggested “there should be an all-Black Friends or an all-Asian Friends,” during the conversation. But our good sis, Erika Alexander, brought him back to reality.

“Hey ⁦@DavidSchwimmer ⁦@FriendsTV⁩ – r u seriously telling me you’ve never heard of #LivingSingle? We invented the template! Yr welcome bro,” she tweeted.

Both shows were produced by Warner Brothers but the studio allocated more marketing dollars to Friends, which had the exact same concept as Living Single, and was released afterward.

In fact, during a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club, Erika Alexander revealed that Friends was a tentative name for the beloved show starring Alexander, Queen Latifah, Kim Coles, Kim Fields, Terrence C. Carson, and John Henton.

“The original name for Living Single was My Girls, but it didn’t test well so they came up with some other names. Living Single and Friends were some of the names presented. Obviously, they chose one and the other went to another show, also produced by Warner Bros,” she detailed. 

Schwimmer probably had good intentions, but the fact that he probably genuinely never heard of Living Single is crazy!
