Sherman Hemsley wasn't shy who told you that

@@reddmoney5107 His interview on Archive of American Television.

People have different layers to there personality.

@@godslove7928 True. Acting can fool one.

Greatest Sportsman

What a genius line...a put down of his name and funny at the same time

They're all gone.

Don’t forget Wilt Chamberlain too. Been gone 20 years now.

@Lotus Water yes i remember that.

@Lotus Water KZfaq is very good when it comes to being able to type in you favorite movie,sitcom or sporting events,every Sunday afternoon i watch a classic boxing match or a NBA playoff game and things of that nature and yes blessing to you and yours as well.

@smoothcollected No way. We're too PC today.

@smoothcollected you shut up

Me too

Ye. Those were the golden era

Brandon Madden You said it all with those words... sigh

Simple for who

I wish I lived through the 60s and 70s

Ruth Buzzi is still alive...

And Tony Orlando.

Nowadays shows and music are all junks.

I agree

Yep. Tony is still alive. Thanks Google.... Lol

How was it way before 'thier' time ? It came out at the perfect time . In the 70's when black people in America were beginning to enjoy prosperity. And the show was in the top ten in ratings.

A rich African American dry cleaner in the 70s in New York ?? Come on bruh!!! The only show was controversial or came close was The Bunkers

@@jaytee1630 U ever heard of Maude or Mash or Mary Tyler Moore , Good Times or SNL , were u even alive in the 70's ? if u were ud know it was All in the Family not the Bunkers . How the hell was this 'ahead of its time ?

Hell yea I grew up in the 70s bruh.. Those were spin offs. And growing up in my hood if you were latino or black you were either thugging. Pimping or cleaning up someones house. Good Times was a typical fam trying to make it in the projects.The Jeffersons ..a rich black man and a interracial couple In a apartment all occupied by whites come on bruh. White America was not ready for that

@@jaytee1630 if they weren't ready for that it would've got cancelled.

Same 😂

@@workedfortheciawhenisoldrock 🤣😭😂

@@savtrill333 I had to look that up , it was real 😂

@@workedfortheciawhenisoldrock Yup😂😭🤣

He was in his late 30s but looked he was in his early 50s.

@@waynerembert3116 well, he make himself look older to fit his roll, so lady tried look young too lot makeup and young nice dress. She probably look very young for her age too.

faznout ...It was first aired nationally on Thursday night, February 19th, 1976, on NBC-TV.

Ali was still the World Heavyweight Champion at that time...

Afro hair, simpler ways to look good for Africa America people, now lot chemicals to look more straight or blacks evolve that fast in less than few decades all straight hair now? I’m not black so don’t know how they do their hair to look good now?

Amen to that!!!

Double Ghod Good point, however this is one of the few stages where you could see an intersecting of similar yet different schticks. Mr. Jefferson entering Ali universe would have had to been as tantelizing as LeVar Ball entering Pro Wrestling universe. Hey wait. Your point is well taken that these meets soon go downhill as they can't sustain their novelty. In recent years I seem to recall Bieber and Shaq being more real and not smiling unless they found the joke harmless and indeed funny.

Not Ali. He could take it. When he met Elvis, before they even spoke a word, Elvis did a martial arts move and kicked him to the ground. His charisma, charm and arrogance put him in a position to not take things seriously. Ali was cracking up while lying on the ground. Can you imagine? This is why he is the greatest.

The "older" roasts...the roastee knew what s/he was in for, and there were certain lines that people did not cross. NOW, there is no line...i remember seeing one roast where a person spoke about the size of the vagina of the roastee....and she just sat there pretending to laugh her head off.
