During a podcast interview with BOSSIP, acclaimed black actress, Tisha Campbell-Martin, spilled the tea regarding Tommy’s place of employment. “Tommy really did have a job, I’ll give you a hint,” she said before fully giving away the answer. “The woman I was gonna fight, she was Martin’s teacher; Beverly Johnson, in that episode that’s the first time you hear about Tommy’s job. So Tommy talks about him being in the Boys & Girls Club. He was a counselor at the Boys & Girls Club. That’s what he did for a living.”
