I meet mr foxx here in las Vegas nv when I worked at grocery store he would come in after his shows at hacienda I helped him to his car and he tip me and gave me glossy
redd foxx used to be a dishwasher with detroit red (malcolm x) in harlem before they both took national fame for very different reasons. . .malcolm mentions him as the funniest man he ever knew
sanford and son, will always be my favioret show, they do,t make , em like they youst to, the funnies part i like when fred always insults aunt ester, calls her ugly gerilla and werewolf, and she would say to him WATCH IT SUCKER.
Yeah this was funny & I finally got to see the whole thing! OMG! I was crying my eyes out! Good times Good times. The show was great! I loved it! Redd Foxx was made for TV!
LOL!!! Redd was the fucking man! You know, I'd love to see some more of those Dean Martin roast clips. I really wish I were alive in the 70's to see those hilarious roasts' live on T.V.... Matter of fact, I'm going to look 'em up on here, 'cause I know Redd was involved in quite a few of those roast back then (they eventually roasted him at one point in the mid-70's). Long live Reddy Freddy!!! :)
@BrooklynEagle I was there in the 70s and saw this very episode when it first appeared when I was about 13. Of course at the time, I didn't realize what a magical era it was, but I'm glad to have been too young for Jim crow and too old for drive-bys :)
Redd was one of the best..... He could take a racial issue and make a comment on it such a funny way, the man had class like no other. One of Saint Louis' finest people. Sanford & son was one of my favorite shows growing up. He'd always say that he was gonna take Esther's face, push it into some dough & make "gorilla cookies" LMAO !!!
believe it or not, when i first saw this (because of his 'tone'), i thought perhaps Redd was _actually_ going to share a serious/meaningful anecdote.........*teehee*
@WrestlingHeretic I completely agree WrestlingHeretic :) I think many people probably _miss_ the truth there because they're laughing at the wit of its presentation
"I could press your face in
some dough, and make
some gorilla cookies!"
