A supermarket bagger named Bill Green fools a news show into believing he's Buckwheat. An angry "Spanky" McFarland is interviewed along with an incoherent Mr Green.

And on top of that, he (Mr. Bill English) doesn't even know a lot about Buckwheat's info. and he doesn't even look like Buckwheat. Seriously, this man Mr. English has some serious issues for doing that.😡

Keep in mind that this happened in 1990. The majority of the "Our Gang" cast disappeared into obscurity after the show (50 years earlier) and most of them never regained any kind of career. And it wasn't like there was Wikipedia back in the day where they could research in a minute.

Normally I could cut some slack if William Thomas had been one of those Rascals who seemingly disappeared for a while such as Mickey Daniels. In this case, I cannot. William Thomas had been interviewed multiple times as an adult (he was greeted by more than 500 fans at the 2nd annual Sons of the Desert meeting), was known by many with his career in the Technicolor corporation for decades, and there were many people alive who were publicly traceable who they could have asked about in regards to Buckwheat. One being Hal Roach himself. I feel, in this case, they really could have done their research properly and discovered who the real Buckwheat was and what happened to him. It seems in this case they simply heard a rumor and jumped on it without bothering to verify it.

@DisWldFrk90 The woman you mentioned was Laura Jane Kenny, who wrote an autobiography called "Fleeing the Fates of the Little Rascals". A casual flip through the book was enough to convince me she really was telling the truth. As for the Bill English debacle, Spanky's last words on the matter "I'm just teling you what I know" shows real class on his part in refusing to show English up.

Leonard Maltin wrote a book on our gang, and covered the 'Buckwheat' casting thoroughly, giving the 3 actors who played him. 2 were girls, and only appeared in a few shorts. In all the dozens of other shorts, the 'Buckwheat' character was played by Billie Thomas, and Billie Thomas only. This character is not female, so basically he is claiming to be Billie Thomas ( Billie was the studio spelling). Well, he ain't. Look at his ears - they don't change. Thomas was born in 1931; does the claimant look that old? More data on imdb.com. Funny thing is, Maltin says phonies usually pretend to be Spanky!

Everyone who knows anything about The Little Rascals knows that Bill Thomas WAS Buckwheat. The producer of the segment was an IDIOT and should have been fired for not doing proper research. The Current Affair lady is equally bad, asking this fake Buckwheat to pop his eyes out.....she also knows almost nothing about the comedies.

The "Buckwheat" character was a female at this time, portrayed by Our Gang kid Matthew "Stymie" Beard's younger sister Carlena in For Pete's Sake!, and by Willie Mae Taylor in three other shorts. Buckwheat is Stymies little sister. In the episode called "The First Round Up" they use the name. In "For Pete's Sake" they say its Stymies sister.

Definitely not. 20/20 really did air an episode identifying this guy as Buckwheat then later apologized saying it was wrong, the real one was dead. This guy went around telling so many people he was Buckwheat that it was even in his obituary when he died in 95.

+ferociousgumby I remember watching this interview (the one here, not the 20/20 one). It's real.

In 1990, the ABC newsmagazine 20/20 aired a segment purporting to be an interview with Buckwheat, now a grocery bagger in Arizona. However, the interview was actually with a man named Bill English, who claimed to be the adult Buckwheat. By the next week, 20/20 had learned of their error (George "Spanky" McFarland personally contacted the media following the broadcast), that the true Buckwheat had been dead for 10 years, and admitted their mistake on-air.

Wasnt there more then 1 Buckwheat tho? The older shows have a older child but I am not sure if they called him buckwheat or not.

I suspect you're right. He could be a total fraud, but it could well be just what you said: some old guy just hoping to get a little notice and it got out of control.

Everybody knows the real Buckwheat was shot by John David Stutts on Saturday Night Live in the early 80s.

This phony with his "Who dat?" line claim is a complete bullshitter. First of all that line was NOT in a Little Rascals movie but in an East Side Kids movie called Ghost on the Loose. The actor that DID say that line in the movie was a MAN named Earnest Morrison. Earnest, however, WAS a Little Rascal before Spanky but NEVER was Buckwheat. He went by many other names including his own "Ernie'.
