Everyone's favorite Robin, Burt Ward, made a special appearance on Living Single
When a movie star loses their wallet in a cab, you might expect them to send their assistant to get it. In fictional television, though, stories can take creative turns.
In the Living Single episode "Mommy Not Dearest," Khadijah finds Dean Cain's wallet and insists on giving it only to him. However, another actor visits her instead. Burt Ward arrives to collect the wallet, and his exchange with Khadijah, Synclaire, and Overton is funny and wholesome.
To introduce himself, he says, "Hi, I'm looking for Khadijah James. That's right, it's me, Burt Ward, TV's Robin." Many fans of the 1966 Batman series know the actor was typecast after playing Adam West's sidekick. He couldn't find roles without people seeing him as Robin, so Living Single writers included this in the script.
Overton exclaims, "Wow, Batman's partner in crime, Boy Wonder, is in the house!" Ward says the "people" at Warner Bros told him that Khadijah wanted to meet a television superhero, so they sent him to get the wallet. Synclaire asks for a "Holy Cape Crusader," and Overton recalls an episode where Catwoman captured him.
This continues until Khadijah says no one is getting the wallet but Dean, prompting Ward to go on a hilarious mini-rant about how Robin is better. Meanwhile, Max's mom visits and says she wants a closer relationship with her daughter.
