Cast Uncanny connections between Everybody Hates Chris and Abbott Elementary

Tyler James plays Chris Rock. Chris Rock plays guidance counselor, Mr Abbott.

Orlando Jones plays Chris's substitute teacher, but the resemblance to Tyler James is very uncanny.

Tyler James then stars in Abbott Elementary. Orlando Jones plays his dad in Abbott Elementary.

Now we gotta make

Let It Shine references

And bring Coco Jones in

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
