In 2020, Tichina Arnold appeared on “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show” to promote the second season of “The Neighborhood” and revealed just how deep her bond with Cedric the Entertainer goes. “I love working with Cedric,” Arnold revealed. “I told Cedric, it’s crazy how I’ve known him all these years in show business, and we got a lot of the same friends, and I’ve never worked with him.” Upon hearing about the audition, Arnold “auditioned like everyone else,” and the rest is history! While speaking with The Grio in 2021, Arnold showered Cedric with even more praise, calling him “an amazing, amazing man, amazing friend, amazing comedian, amazing father, an amazing husband, he’s just everything rolled up in one. He’s a big teddy bear.” She continued, “Having him at the helm, and especially during [the pandemic], it made a difference.”

In late 2021, while hosting the Emmys, Cedric returned Arnold’s praise. Arnold, Niecey Nash, and Terri J. Vaughn appeared in a skit about Cedric’s television wives, but he chose Arnold as his favorite. “You’ve always given me so much love and support, and, to be honest, you’re my favorite TV wife,” Cedric said. Unfortunately, Cedric’s compliment drew ire from his other television wives, and they all eventually ran off to find “that boy from Bridgerton,” alluding to Regé-Jean Page.
