CBS Television Distribution

Jenifer Lewis is so iconic that she doesn't even have to say anything when she appears on our screens. Her appearance alone elevates a production, and boy, when she appeared on various '90s and '00s TV shows, she was the star, whether in a guest appearance or a motherly role.

Let's go down memory lane!

Mrs. Biggs on Moesha

Andell secures a big sale from Mrs. Biggs (Jenifer Lewis), but Moesha tries to save the nostalgic hang-out spot.

This is when the character Andell transitioned to Moesha's spin-off, The Parkers, to star as Nikki's best friend.
