Tommy Davidson Brings Back a Legend: “Varnell Hill” Spinoff Series Set to Shine on BET+
Comedy fans, 90s babies, and anybody who ever yelled “Wazzup! Wazzup! Wazzup!” at the TV — go ahead and rejoice. One of the most iconic characters from Martin is stepping back into the spotlight, and he’s bringing all the Hollywood sparkle, chaos, and comedic genius with him.
Tommy Davidson is officially reviving his legendary character Varnell Hill in a brand‑new spinoff series coming to BET+.

Yes… THAT Varnell Hill. The silky‑voiced, spotlight‑loving, “I’m too famous for this” talk‑show host who slid into the Martin universe and instantly became a fan favorite. The man who sang his own theme song like it was a Grammy performance. The man who made us all wonder if we, too, should be wearing sunglasses indoors.
And now he’s back — center stage, full series, no chaser.
