On The Neighborhood episode “Welcome To The Sister From Another Mister,” Gemma (Beth Behrs) is excited to introduce her new Black History teacher, Alexis, to her neighbors Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) and Tina (Tichina Arnold). While Alexis claims to be African-American, Tina isn’t buying it. She tells Gemma: “That girl is as white as the cast of Friends.” See the sneak peek videos below.
Alexis is portrayed by (white) actress Nicole Sullivan. She’s best known for her comedic roles on black-ish (neighbor Janine), The King of Queens (dogwalker Holly), Rita Rocks (Rita), and on MADtv, among many others.
Get ready to see more of Nicole: she stars in Mindy Kaling’s upcoming series The Sex Lives of College Girls, which premieres on November 18 on HBO Max — see trailer below.
P.S. The Neighborhood airs Mondays at 8 pm on CBS.
