As a kid growing up, I always saw Malcolm and Eddie as a grown up version of Kenan and Kel. I loved both shows by the way.

I don't know one person who lost respect for Malc during this show. It showed his range and he was very funny in it. We never took him as buffooning. He's a little harder on his image than we are.

I was a kid when it came out. Even then I liked that the 2 characters were completely different it made the show seem more human and relatable.

Eddie Griffin is one of the most intelligent comedians working...

I understand where Malcom was coming from but he tried too hard to make the show something it was not. If he felt so strongly he should’ve taken his ideas and created his own show.

Anyone else remember "home boys in outterspace?"

Starting out as an actor, I was hired to be a “stand-in” on the show for the last two seasons. It was like a well paying acting class for me. Watching Malcolm Direct and many times “grab the bull by the horns to smooth things out gave me the utmost respect and adoration for the young brother. Being one to “know your place” I kept out of business that was not mine…. But I heard things. Malcolm and I shared some heartfelt talks on stage. I had a crush on his Mom, Pam. One thing I recognized is that Malcom came from “good stock”. Those who know what I’m saying will understand. I loved how Eddie treated me as a team player. The times I did act on the show he would constantly praise me. One day when Malcom was directing an episode and request I rehearse the scenes for him, after rehearsing the scenes, Eddie pulled me to the side and said, “you’re one talented nigga, and I don’t lie about s#!+ like that! When this is all over go out and make a name for yourself the world wants you too”! We hugged like long lost brothers and I shed a few tears of joy. In my opinion, they were both geniuses in their own world. They just needed to find that missing piece to allow both crowns to elevate from their characters at the same time on and off screen. Watching Mal & Ed work their magic together (when it happened) was brilliant to see. And the potential was there to last 10 plus seasons. Sad that it didn’t. .

The show was also going on around the time Malcolm lost the love of his life, Michelle Thomas (R.I.P.).

Based on everything I heard, it sounded more like Malcolm and Eddie were two guys in a bad situation more so than two guys that didn't like each other

Who else remembers the show south central with larenz Tate and Lamont Bentley?? It's a underrated classic!!

Richard Pryor vs Bill Cosby that's all this was

What happened with 227? What happened with The Parker's? What happened with What's happening? What happened with Good Times?

If the chemistry wasn't there it was a miracle that the show lasted as long as it did.

I personally love the Malcolm and Eddie reruns. As a young Black man trying to make it the city, I can relate. Tbh, I don't understand how Eddie Griffin or Malcolm Jamal Warner could have such a problem with the images and messages, because the themes were on point.

“Why Smart Guy ended “ Why The Parent hood ended Why Roc ended Why Half and Half ended

Didn't know Eddie had a heart attack. WOW! I couldn't get into this show. I saw the mismatch from the beginning. It was quite literally, odd...

I didn't know Eddie had an heart attack

The show got very dry in the end. When Nicolette was no longer chasing Eddie and when they became the owners of the bar.

And here I thought they had good chemistry together. I actually enjoyed that show a hell of a lot and was sad when it got cancelled

Man I swear we as black people need too stop bringing each other down SMH.

Eddie & Malcolm put it out there alot why they couldn't coexist almost like the Kobe & Shaq of a TV show 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kudos to Malcolm for trying to maintain his integrity in an indusyry where there can sometimes be no morals.

Who thought putting Malcolm Warner and Eddie Griffin together would be a good idea to begin with?

Malcolm was straight up uptight and Arrogant, there’s More Than One brand of Humor!!! He was So Stuck On That Cosby Show Mode, he had No versatility and No Range!!! Everyone can’t be Theo Huxrable!! And he didn’t want to step Out Of that. That’s what the problem was!!! 💯

I grew up watching The Cosby show and loved it. As a child, I always thought Theo got older and starred in his own show with his best friend Eddie in "Malcolm and Eddie" .... As another comment said, it was like an older version of Kenan and Kel.

Why the proud family ended tho????

Malcolm didn’t really have a background in comedy at all. He wanted to write and direct on a sitcom just because he acted on one for years?! He didn’t even make it to Hillman even though his dad helped build it! Eddie had an actual resumé that could top some of today’s renowned comics. Voodoo Child was dope in its day! Honestly, neither one can carry a tv show on their own, but I would choose Griffin in a comedy pickup game.

I mean, they couldn’t stand each other but did their best to make it work for the sake of the show & that check 💁🏽‍♀️💸

I would also think that the passing of Malcom's longtime girlfriend Michelle Thomas(Who also guest starred in a episode) also played a factor on why he wanted more from the show than what he got.

I heard of enough...it seems Malcom was already trying to be Bill Cosby from the door. They had no chemistry from the beginning

I’m surprised the show lasted for 4 seasons when it was clearly a challenge to produce. The egos of Malcolm and Eddie were definitely going to clash sooner or later. It was inevitable. But I have to agree with Malcolm as far as not using stereotypical humor to win over viewers. No one wants to see that because it was already rampant on UPN at that time. Malcolm wanted to bring his wisdom and experience from the “Cosby Show” to UPN but writers and producers preferred the predictable humor we’ve all grown completely tired of. There were just too many visions for the direction of this show which is why it failed.

I get it.. i do. However, it wasn't his show. He was working for someone else! You can't tell someone how to run their show. Just like good times and Moesha...

The chemistry between Nicolette and Eddie was all I needed. They made you want to see what is going to happen next. I have to say the characters of Malcolm and Eddie gives me joy and to say, even though we see them at each other throats, they always come to a common ground to help one another. Even though that may not have been in real life, at least they pretended to keep the coins coming in. Ijs

I only watch the show for Eddie 😬

I remember this show but I never watched it regularly, just a few eps here and there. No surprise Malcolm & Eddie didn't see eye to eye though.

Man, I didn't know Eddie G. had a heart attack! Last time I've seen him in a movie called, "Bad President." I'm glad he's doing good.

What Jamal didn't comprehend is that you have to have a wide range and play many roles. He's never played a bad guy or a never had a role with any real complexity all his roles are a clean cut above board type of roles.

I'm a fan of the Bill Cosby school of comedy and the Richard Pryor school of comedy. I grew up off of both. I get it.

malcolm made the mistake of comparing this show to cosby, they are totally different and it would never reach the success of the cosby show. just enjoy while it last...🤷🏽‍♀️

Can you PLEASE interview Eddie Griffin?! I know he has A LOT to say about this current climate!! Thx

The episode where Eddie tried to be prince 😂😂😂😂

That's why I love your channel . I asked you if you can do a video on this and you did. Comedy hype, is true too your day one fans . Keep on keeping on my true brotha. I will support your channel. Your platform is growing big time I love it. I know you are going too the top.

Do anybody remember that episode one that big heavy guy sat in the SUV in all four tires pop Both myself and dad would died laughing

This was my show if it wasn’t for them telling us they had problems i wouldn’t of known... they had great on air chemistry 🧪 🤷🏾‍♂️

Damn. Coolio was gonna be in an early form of “Blackish”

Damn, Malcolm was trying to live up to a standard. All while Cosby was slipping Cosby into drinks.

Throwing shade at junior colleges I see 😒😒 thanks Malcom

I remembered watchin a very few episodes of the show, their chemistry just didnt fly to me. If I were Malcolm, right after the ending of The COSBY show, I would taken a break from television. Now on FOX'S series RESIDENTS, he looks relaxed and enjoying his spotlight on the show.

The Jaimee Foxx show was hilarious . The Martin show was hilarious. I could go on and on. I believe that kind of funny can be in theaters.

No Wonder it didn’t work everyone ain’t Cosby 😑. That was a different time / era.

Probably was Eddies idea to bring Richard Pryor on a episode

I just finished watching malcolm and eddie earlier today cannot believe that the end it on a cliffhanger

Malcolm was right everything on upn was mad stereotypical

What I liked about Malcolm Joe Mall Warner is when he played one of the Tuskegee Airmen movie that was I mean he was down packed with playing that part as a Tuskegee Airmen

😭 Sadly the show ended with a cliff hanger.

Glad to hear. Thank you for this. I always wondered about this. Thankful for Jamal Warner's vision.

Malcom "I got tired of stereotypical black humour so to take my mind off it I went and learned to play Bass" Warner

Malcolm is (Fire)Leo and Eddie is (Water)Cancer. Astrologically speaking, Fire and Water dont always do well together.

I just stumbled across this channel and it’s pretty dope I’ll be tuning in a lot more.

I remember when videos didn't start with ads or asking for subscribers

I love Malcolm and Eddie! I want to see them comeback as brothers as The Reunion! They do have a huge respect for each other, but never was friends. I just hope they need to work things out as brothers and make peace to one another! Wishing them the best!👍👍👍👍

Damn Tuesday Nights Were Anticipated Heavily When I Was An Elementary Schooler.... I Love The Theme Song......

Never knew Eddie had a heartattack. 🙏🏿

Just Make Documentaries like These Maybe Extend To 30 Mins .....And U Will Be A KZfaq 90s Baby Legend!!

Nicely put together. Thanks for sharing.

2:47 Sadly, it's one of the reason why the Cosby Show is considered divisive today. Personally, I liked the fact that they didn't focus on the negatives of the black community. It showed me an out. That I didn't have to live a life that I would not fit in. In many ways the blueprint to a lot of successful black shows.

I watch it everytime it comes on cable. They are both funny and keeps me rolling. Anytime they are on tv I try to catch them.❤❤❤😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I liked Malcolm & Eddie, particularly the 1st couple seasons. Anyone Remember "Sparks"??

Love this show sadly I didn't know bout this show until 08 when I seen reruns

I always wondered how these two got together and going off this video, it makes sense why it didnt work even if it did go for 4 seasons. Great point in saying you got the school of Cosby joining with the school of Richard Pryor. This reminds me of my work environment as i have a coworker who is also a friend but we come from two backgrounds. His is the street and mine is the suburbs. We clash on our job many times but since he is getting older and has a family. He is understanding that street hustler mentality doesn't always play well in the work environment.

Does the app Current have fee's? From ATM etc , also does it offer cash back and commissions from getting others to sign up?

Yea I heard about them it was a good show just Eddie said it was just business they wasn’t friends but I don’t believe it started that way must have had a fall out when they was filming the show smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Always great content!!

Sounds like Malcolm was a wet blanket on the show. And wanted to make the show Cosby JR!

I loved this show but I knew they didn't get along

I was a kid when this series came out on UPN. I like the Malcolm & Eddie original airings and reruns.

It's a shame it didn't work out that was one of my favorite shows I still watch it on KZfaq to this day.

Eddy was cappin 😂 That wasn’t no bacon sandwiches causing heart attacks. 🤦🏽‍♂️👃🏽👃🏽🍭🍬

I loved the show and heartbroken when it ended. I still enjoy the re-runs.

You forgot 2 mention that Eddie cousin was one of the writers of the show. And that wasn't the reason it ended. All of the shows on the network def black shows only lasted between 4 and 6 years. The parkers, half n half, moesha, and hughleys all only lasted for those years.

Hey, thnx for the upload! I was searching for this episode! M&E seemed to never get the shine it _truly_ deserved, like; K&K, Martin, K&P, etc. Man, as a 90s baby I used to watch Malcolm & Eddie a lot! What a funny show & their dichotomy was on point. xD Especially that Bar 💣 episode.

Oh my God Eddie Griffin is the one that made the show Malcolm didn't do nothing it was funny because Eddie Griffin they should gave the show to Eddie Griffin Malcolm he was terrible but Eddie Griffin he was funny I was watching it on TV before they cut it off it was always Eddie Griffin he is funny Eddie Griffin had me laughing so hard that I was crying I'll remember when Eddie Griffin play Prince oh my God he did it so well.

You should do one for the Wayne's brothers show

I heard they didnt really get along the shit crazy they had good chemistry and comedic timing malcolm and eddie was my shit lol

When worlds collide.... A lot of chaos.

You should do a “here’s why” with the meth and red show

It was an “ok” show. It doesn’t hurt his image. He had no executive control.

Where can i find the instrumental y'all use for the videos?

“What you’re giving me is doo- doo” 😭

What the Cosby Show did was great to show black people in a positive way. But unfortunately most black families in the real world did not have that type of success during that time. The past is the past and it’s always good to use the platform that the show had to create a new lane for sitcoms.

Why "All of Us " ended?

I loved this show I'm sorry to hear they didn't get along, it's sad but its still history I definitely appreciated

I get where Malcom is coming from, but he is forgetting Bill Cosby wasn't always doing the Cosby Show. He did some movies that didn't represent black people in the best light. So some times you have to take roles that you aren't a huge fan of to get to do what you want to do. Only example I can think of Chris Reeve did NOT want to do Superman III, however the studio financed that horrible Noises Off for him.

I will always wonder why Holly left after season 1. Also why did One on One end and/or Why was season 5 a soft reboot

Malcom you saw Eddie's work before doing the show. But, I feel the writers were the main problem.

The show ended because it just wasn’t that good. It was something you looked at when nothing else good was on. I love Eddie he’s great I still watch undercover Brother to this day and wish he would have made a sequel. Love Eddies stand up comedy but Jamal/Malcom played the straight man and he really was kind of boring the way they write his role.

Malcolm shoulda known what he was getting into when he signed up to do a show on upn and also he let him being on cosby show get to his head with his bougie self

What happened to Gullah Gullah island

Just xownload Current. Thanks I was looking for a different way to bank! 💯💯💯👜😎
