Jones, who plays Gregory's stern father Martin Eddie, also made his first appearance on "Abbott Elementary" virtually when his son Facetimed him during season one's eighth episode, "Work Family." He then appears in the flesh in season two's "Fight" episode when he comes to visit Gregory on the job.
This isn't the first time Williams and Jones have shared the screen together. The two acted opposite of each other in an old episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" when their roles were slightly reversed. Jones played Williams' substitute teacher, whom Williams' character Chris gets rid of for forcing him to take a practice exam.
