Malcolm & Eddie was an American Sitcom that starred The Cosby Show alum Malcolm-Jamal Warner and comedian Eddie Griffin as the titular duo. The sitcom is an Odd Couple setup, with Malcolm being the responsible aspiring radio broadcaster and Eddie being the zany, carefree tow-truck driver. The two are complete opposites but end up sharing an apartment and business and somehow become friends.
The series also features Miriam Flynn, Karen Malina White, Jaime Cardriche, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Karyn Bryant, Angelle Brooks, Tommy Davidson, and Michelle Hurd.
It ran on UPN for four seasons.
