MYSTERY OF “TOMMY’S” JOB ON “MARTIN” FINALLY REVEALED

As we posted previously, it turns out that “Tommy” really did have a job on “Martin” after all, just like he’d been trying to tell “Pam,” “Martin,” “Gina,” and “Cole” for years on the Martin show.

On the show, “Tommy’s” job was always elusive as hell and nobody could ever figure out exactly what it was that he did for a living, but Tisha Campbell-Martin a.k.a. “Gina” revealed to Bossip what “Tommy’s” real job actually was, after years of keeping “Martin” show fans in suspense.

“TOMMY’S” REAL JOB ON “MARTIN” REVEALED!

“Tommy’s” job on “Martin,” was as a counselor at The Boys & Girls Club! Here is what Tisha said about “Tommy’s” role via Vibe:

“‘Tommy’ really did have a job, I’ll give you a hint,” she said before diving into the revelation. “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.”

Campbell-Martin also stated that Tommy disliked the fact that his character wasn’t developing.

“‘No one knows what I do for a job, they keep asking me what I do!’” Campbell-Martin describes. “So then they started putting in the script that Tommy has NO job.”

And there ya’ have it family, another Old School fun fact for our enquiring minds.

Tommy was not only a great co star but he was a great man and friend. He always brought with him his spirituality a positive attitude and so much joy. I am sad the world lost a great talent and that I lost a wonderful friend. God bless him and his family

“My brother…we were friends way b4 the Martin show & I’m glad we were able to show true friendship on-screen,” he penned. “You brought a lot of love to the world and you will be greatly missed. God Bless to you and the family. Rest In Peace my brother. #TommyFord #Brotherforlife.”

Carl Anthony paid a touching tribute to his friend, Tommy on Instagram as well and ended his caption with a hashtag that was in the true comedic form, just like Tommy, even today, would have appreciated it:

Here’s an Old School fun fact about the true friendship of Tommy, Carl, and Martin in real life: Martin and Carl served as a groomsmen in Tommy’s wedding to his then wife, Gina Marie Sasso, in 1997. Tommy and Gina divorced in 2014 and have two children together. It was also Gina Sasso who gave the correct news of Tommy’s health status on Wednesday (8-12-2016) as reports were surfacing online about whether or not Tommy had passed away or was on life support at the time. Gina was by Tommy’s side during that saddened time.

As far as recent news on Martin and Tommy’s friendship, in October 2015, they linked on Martin’s comedy tour, ‘Doin Time,’ which was probably the last time they’d been seen in public togethe. Their fans got a kick out of seeing them under the same roof again, just like it was on “Martin” when Martin used to tell Tommy “You ain’t got no job man!” LOL…gotta love the old school memories and ya’ gotta love Tommy Mykhal Ford for the many years he dedicated to making us laugh and the down to earth dude that he was in real life.

He will be sorely missed. Rest on Tommy…great job while you were here brotha and we will never forget your legacy.
