John Weatherspoon (January 27, 1942 - October 29, 2019), better known as John Witherspoon, was an American actor and comedian who performed in various television shows and films.
He is best remembered for his role as Willie Jones for the Friday series; Witherspoon also starred in films such as Hollywood Shuffle (1987), Boomerang (1992), The Five Heartbeats (1991), and Vampire in Brooklyn (1995).[2] He has also made appearances on television shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1994), The Wayans Bros. (1995-99), The Tracy Morgan Show (2003), Barnaby Jones (1973), The Boondocks (2005-2014), and Black Jesus (2014-2019). He wrote a film, From the Old School, in which he played an elderly working man who tries to prevent a neighborhood convenience store from being developed into a strip club.
Witherspoon worked occasionally as a model. During the 1960s and 1970s, he began to take a liking towards comedy. During that time, he began his stand-up comedy career. As a result, he had many friends in the business, including Tim Reid (while he was working on WKRP in Cincinnati and The Richard Pryor Show), Robin Williams (also on The Richard Pryor Show), Jay Leno, and David Letterman.
Witherspoon performed in many feature films (usually comedies), including Friday (and its sequels Next Friday and Friday After Next) as well as Hollywood Shuffle, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Bird, Vampire in Brooklyn, and The Meteor Man.
Witherspoon was also known for his over-the-top characters in films such as House Party, in which he played an irritated neighbor who is repeatedly woken up by the party, and Boomerang with Eddie Murphy, where he plays Mr. Jackson, the ill-mannered father of Murphy's best friend.
Witherspoon married Angela Robinson in 1988. They have two sons, John David ("J.D.") and Alexander. David Letterman was Witherspoon's best friend and is the godfather to his two sons.
Witherspoon died of a heart attack at his home in Sherman Oaks, California on October 29, 2019. He was 77 years old. His funeral was held on November 5, 2019, and he was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, California.

Spoon was the first person I met when I first landed in LA to do a song for Kobe Bryant back in 2000! We talked all of the way to the baggage claim!! Didn’t try to brush me off and was very interested in what I was doing! True gentleman and legend! RIP to Spoon and Kobe!!!!
Hearing stories like that just amazing... Most celebs are arrogant but there's always that hand full that are so down to earth & love their fans! 👍👍👍

Great character actor, thank you for remembering to remind us all of him 🇺🇸 have a wonderful Memorial Weekend with family and friends ✌️🇺🇸
It’s only a few celebrities that have died and I cried for. John was one of them. It felt like I lost dad or a grandad. He had the ability to make ANYBODY laugh. And his RUclips cooking shows were the best. RIP John…
❤️ This one has everything. Great actor, lovely scenery, nice people and wildlife. 👏
R.I.P to the legendary John "Pops" Witherspoon. He was extremely funny on the Friday movies, including his voice acting on the animated show The Boondocks. He is gone but the world will never forget his contributions to the world of comedy.

🤣
What I remember most is pops coming out of a bathroom saying, I feel 10 pounds lighter, so very funny. Thanks Scott loved Mr. Witherspoon.
I still can't believe he is not here Rest in Peace Pop's.
I first saw him as a 10 year old on What’s Happening as a dj on the Disco Dollar Disaster ep. Saw him on a Barnaby Jones ep but my fav character of his is Pops from The Wayans Brothers. Watched it 27 years ago, watch it everyday and own the dvd collection. I was so hurt when my co worker told me he passed. I hoped she was wrong😞😞Shawn Wayans choked up at his funeral when he closed out his eulogy to Pops on his last sentence. Made me cry as if I knew him personally. And for those who don’t know, Pops wife was in the ep where they thought TC was the sweet tooth bandit. She was the policewoman who said, “Please, he’s got a record longer than Diana Ross’s weave.”😂As always, thank u for showing us our favorite celebs final resting place. I appreciate the beautiful vid. R.I.P. Pops.🙏🏾
Love the Friday movies. Funny as all get out.
John Witherspoon is one ☝🏾 of the best actors and comedians ever in actors and comedians history of television 📺

Thanks for visiting John Witherspoons grave, I was fortunate to see him twice at Zanies in Nashville doing stand-up comedy. Great memory. Have a good one.
I watched him in the Friday movies and the show with the Wayan brothers in it. R.I.P. John Witherspoon u will be missed
I will always love his performances on the Friday movies. They were incredible with his acting. Long live John witherspoon.
