After the episode aired, Carson indeed got a call from his lawyer telling him that he had been let go from the show. He was absolutely devastated. To make matters worse, he found out that he was "blackballed" from Hollywood, as his former "Living Single" bosses spread rumors about him being difficult to deal with and often came to work unprepared.

"He said, 'I heard you were difficult, that you came to work unprepared.' I said, 'You know what? This interview is over. Thank you so much for your time.'"

According to Carson, it didn't matter to him that he didn't end up with certain roles, as he wasn't about to let a Black man berate him in front of White people just because of false rumors spread by his former bosses.
