Thankfully, Arnold didn’t have to wait a decade after Everybody Hates Chris‘ end to score more substantial roles. She was a series regular on Fran Drescher’s TV Land sitcom Happily Divorced, as well as the Starz basketball comedy Survivor’s Remorse. Most recently, she’s been co-starring on CBS sitcom The Neighborhood, which began airing its second season in the fall of 2019.
Arnold joined a cast of sitcom dream-teamers, including Cedric the Entertainer, New Girl‘s Max Greenfield, and Two Broke Girls’ Beth Behrs. The show offers a modern take on the classic odd couple trope, with Greenfield and Behrs playing a white couple from the midwest who move into a historically black neighborhood in Los Angeles. Arnold and Cedric are their new neighbors, who have deep roots in the community and are initially skeptical of the couple’s arrival.
Speaking to TV Guide, Arnold said of her new sitcom home, “I love when we tackle the differences between the white culture and the black culture because it brings out so many things that I’m sure we speak about in separate households… it kind of clears the air.”
As for how she feels going into her fourth decade of working in the entertainment industry, Arnold echoed sentiments shared by those who have followed her career throughout the years: “Girl, I’ve earned my stripes.”
