Former Fresh-Prince Star Janet Hubert to Join TBS’ ‘The Last O.G.’
Hubert will join the cast of the TBS comedy, The Last O.G. starring comedians Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish. The show, co-created and executive produced by Jordan Peele, follows Morgan’s character as he returns to an evolved society after serving a 15-year prison stint. The series first premiered in 2018 and has been renewed for a fourth season.
According to the outlet, Hubert will play Miss May Miller, the friend of another character, Roberta, played by Anna Maria Horsford. During their weekly game of bid whist they opine on the main character’s goal to bring positive change to his community.
As theGrio reported during a February interview with PopViewers, Hubert discussed her Hollywood journey, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and opens up about “contemplating suicide” after her exit. Hubert opens up about the audition process for The Fresh Prince. When PopViewers host Chris Witherspoon asked Hubert if she knew the role was hers, she reveals to Witherspoon, “No, I didn’t want it! I didn’t want it because I knew I was not what they were looking for.”
She cheekily explained, “So sometimes when you think you know something…you don’t know sh-t!” She says she was not even nervous when she was flown out to “test” for the role, saying, “I did not even try, and they said to me, ‘It was not what you did with the lines, it’s what you did in between the lines.’”
