Ms. Vivian Morello, (simply better known as Ms. Morello) is a recurring character in Everybody Hates Chris. She was a teacher at Corleone Junior High School and later took up the job as the principal of Tattaglia High School. The role of Ms. Morello is portrayed by Jacqueline Mazarella. Ms. Vivian Morello is Chris's naively racist teacher, and later his high school principal. Due to her apparent attraction to African American men, she holds a soft spot for Chris and tries to support him at every opportunity (such as giving him a Valentine's Day card out of sympathy or giving him advice on running for the class president). In her efforts to be sweet, kind, and supportive, she makes statements that come off as racist which she can never really realizes - such as saying that "black people" must wake up and work up fields before sunrise, that they have tendencies towards vandalism, criminality, and drugs, that they often lay used of lies and blackmail to rise in life, that Chris has no father and his mother is crack-addicted, and when Chris tries to tell her the truth, she assumes Chris is lying because "he is on drugs" -, most of which Chris tolerates. Chris Rock's narration often consists of him wanting to physically hurt her as well as making sarcastic remarks about her ethnicity as she does to him.
