In a much-anticipated reunion, Martin Lawrence and his “Martin” co-stars stole the spotlight at the 2024 Emmys, adding a touch of humor to the ceremony. The iconic cast, including Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, and Carl Anthony Payne II, gathered on the recreated set of the beloved show.
The highlight of the evening was when they came together to present Jeremy Allen White’s Lead Actor award for “The Bear.” In a nod to the late cast member Thomas Mikal Ford, a photograph of him adorned the table, adding a poignant touch to the celebration.
Despite the show having left the airwaves in 1996, “Martin” continues to be a cultural pillar in both hip-hop and the Black community. Carl Anthony Payne II, fully immersed in his Cole character, humorously assumed they were there to snag an Emmy, not present one.
Tisha Campbell took a moment to acknowledge the show’s history, revealing the surprising fact that “Martin” never won an Emmy. This revelation garnered props from the audience and added a lighthearted tone to the evening.
