Trivia[]

  • Jonathan's first name was originally thought to be Andre. It was later revealed that he lied because he thought Jonathan to be too boring of a name. In Schooled, we learn that he went by that name early in his career because his master's diploma was mistakenly printed with the first name of his college program's only other black graduate student, Andre Jones.
  • In "Million Dollar Reward", Jonathan refers to himself as "John Latifa Glascott", despite the fact that in Schooled, his name was revealed to be "Jonathan Laverne Glascott".
