Absolutely dats wat i thought i gained alot of respect for malcolm. I already had it for eddie dats my dude more like him than Malcolm jus i relate more to eddie but i like Malcolm tho
Most actors won't admit that. They all say "We became a family," knowing full well they just collected their check and went home. I appreciate his honesty.
They understood that CHECK...that's a common denominator. No different than working in a factory..we might not get along but we both here to get this paper. That was just being real.
I don't have personal relationships with any person I work with...I am nice, cordial, friendly, but I do NOT have any interest in any personal relations with any of my coworkers...that's just me
Nah, if they were just coworkers no beef, he wouldn't say they didn't get along. He basically said without saying it that he thought Eddie was too ghetto. Eddie thought Malcolm was too bourgeoisie
That's what it is! Both was professional about it and did work.. You don't have to like a person just to get to the bag with them.. I tell you what! They had great chemistry on set.. you can't ask for nothing more..

Faith Kings The difference is, we don’t necessarily have to interact wit them to the degree Malcolm & Eddie did, or sell the notion that we are the best of friends to legions of ppl
They've both said that numerous times, but they both have always been very respectful towards one another about it. They've never bad mouthed each other.

Correct!! They was professional about it! Why tear each other down when we both Trying to eat? If you don't like me cool, I will not take food out your mouth cause we are both grown men with families..
Long story short..eddie felt like malcom didnt grind and the show was handed to him because of the Cosby's...and Malcom didnt like eddies hood ways.. Thats what i get from "2 different walks of life"

@@PlayaP69 - The only one within the cast who received a good check was Cosby. Residual checks are not as lucrative as people who are not in the know believes. At best, residual checks can help put a little food on the table, keep a bill or two paid every month, or provide gas/transportation money during those non acting periods of a person's career....But that is about it. The bulk of the money goes to the studio then works it's way down to everyone else. Now, why do actors and actresses make a big fuss over insuring they get their fair share of the residuals.....I just mentioned it in the paragraph above; all actors and actresses have a dry period where they can't find work. Lastly, one thing people don't know is that residual payouts decreases every year a show is in syndication. What an actor or actresses receives during the first few years is greatly reduced by year six, seven, eight if the show is still on the air. If the syndicationed show is picked up on another network, there is a slight bump in payments, but even still, the allocations will not be the anywhere near what it was during it's first few years.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you where I rank Malcolm & Eddie among sitcoms, Black or otherwise. But I know one thing. That episode where Eddie pretended to be Prince is LEGENDARY! 😂😂😂😂😂
@stryfetc1 NAILED IT! Look at the Chicago Bulls during the 1996 to 1998 seasons.. Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen didn't even get along.. Hell, Dennis even admitted he didn't even talk to Michael Jordan.. He said he came there to not make friends but to win and party.. Only thing they ask him to do is show up at practices and games and play his part on defense that's it.. And he did that for them without no problems after..
Thats all you got of this video??? Watch it again!!! He said Cosby show showed blacks in a positive light.. and that new show was all about stereotype black man. Thats.. actually sad. But malcom.. needed.. a check..
...off topic (seemingly): it always amazed us how 'pretty' and 'petty' is just a single letter of difference. Superficiality vs Depth...which one better pays the bills? was probably *their* inner-question.
If you look at it really, that was a part of the tension in the way the show as written too, they were friends and roommates, but Eddie got on Malcolm's nerve's all the time. They really had like a vibe of cousins or brothers more, somebody you don't necessarily like, but you have that connection/bond with and you're always around.
Word. Plus Martin had some drug problems in the past but it is common. At least they were professional enough to put their differences to the side. Ashame when people mess up a good thing bc of differences

When was this in the 90’s never mind I was playing sports in high school I didn’t watch much tv until I went to college... I thought this show started in the 2000’s. That explain the gaps of my tv watching.
At the end of the day it a job, and so many TV shows white or black have had the same issue...You do what u do to make it work for the audience...The audience is what keeps u employed
No, it was not the entire cast that did not get along. It was mostly JJ (Jimmy Walker) that could not get along with the cast, or did very little communicating with his co-stars. The father did not agree with the foolishness of the JJ character. He felt the character was a buffoon and he needed to grow up. The network disagreed. So John Amos' character was killed off. Michael was very young on the show, so it was never about him.
Brian Stone it was money and how the writers glorified the buffoon jj’s character on the show! That show had good ratings and got paid a lot of money! Why shouldn’t he ask for more money? Plenty of white people did it, Farrah fawcet , Suzanne Somers ect
I don't see why!! To my knowledge, no such network as WPN ever existed! Because before the late 60's into the 1970's; All the networks was pretty much that!
Anyone who thought that weak and forgettable show was great has missed a lot of shows. The writing was weak and so was the comedy. Great was Sanford & Son , or Blackish , or Roc to name just a few. Man O War must be very young.
They didn't not like each other but they didn't necessarily love one another that's very common. In people's everyday life especially with our co workers were associates but not best friends. But they weren't enemies I respect these 2 for their maturity unlike some celebrities like gabrielle union & vivica fox who were competing against each other because Hollywood intentionally try to divide black actors/actresses into becoming enemies making them compete against booking gigs etc. But malcom & Eddie were "woke" back then they stuck together for the culture regardless if they had a difference of opinion. They stuck together.
From the outside looking in, it seems like they wouldn't have gotten along anyway. They were completely different. Eddie is raw and honest and Malcolm seems more reserved.
Najee Nixon exactly that's obvious and we watch malcom say that in this clip. But when your open and not being closed minded 2 people from 2 completely different worlds often make the best of friends. But I guess back then 1 of them was being overly closed minded. However their respect for each others differences is commendable
They weren't being "woke" hate that played our term btw lol. They were trying to pay them bills that's it lol. But both were professional and made it work for four years.
I can believe it.... Lamont and Rollo didn't get along in real life ...Even Jimmy Walker mentioned he Esther Rolle and John Amos weren't close at all as well... 💯💯

Being classy is saying nothing about your relationship like Eddie did not talk like you came from two different lifestyles I know plenty of people who came from different lifestyles and they get along just fine believe me that has nothing to do with getting along unless one thinks he's better than the other so the class goes to Eddie for not even mentioning their relationship off set
Your right! NBC shut it down it was too sexiest occurring to there standard's. But my delimea is why are black people with money throwing each other underneath the bus!!!
Yeah Malcom seems like the type of dude where he’s smug. Don’t surprise me, Cosby was notorious for downing comedians for raw humor and carried himself like he was holier than thou. He picked up a lot of those traits I assume
@@showtimesportsmedia6906I think u are grasping at straws.. Malcolm was his own person. A.) He didn't have to take the show he could of passed on it and let somebody else played the role...Nobody was forcing Malcolm to do the show...However there seems to be a divide in the black community...Everybody black experience is different...If you from the hood and came from nothing you have a different attitude towards a black middle class person and vice versa.. I say if he felt that way he should of never did the show point blank!
Being from the 'hood' does not make you more 'real' or better as a person. I believe the two were like oil and water. Malcolm learned from some of best by working on the Cosby Show and Eddie learned from his own experiences throughout the years.
Can't expect for a hood dude from Kansas City who will say and do anything he feels. Opposite to a guy with a Cosby mentality and conclude them to be the best of friends. Though giving their history from Eddie's standpoint you would never had or grasped this knowledge. Still a great show though.
That's what makes work.. A hood dude and a college dude making it work together.. That's how it supposed to be! Working together to get things done to get paid..
@Jay Bee - You go where work is. Funny you did not mention Malcom has put in work behind the scenes over at Nickelodeon.....The second fiddle to Disney!
I respect both of them because they both got great experience as actors! In the industry, you got to show mutual respect to one another in the professional way!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Demond Wilson (Lamont Sanford) and Nathaniel Taylor (Rollo) actually didn't have a cool relationship off camera either. Mr. Wilson mentioned in an interview that Mr. Taylor actually didn't like him. From watching the show as a child, I would have never guessed.
Nathan Taylor was Redd Foxx's guy before Sanford and Son and after I wonder if Fox wanted to have him play Lamont and the producers refused went with Wilson
@@krlm2280 Like 2 days ago, I actually read about Taylor being Redd's guy before the show. But that's a good point you made. Demond wrote a book called 2nd Banana. It's the memoirs about him and Redd Foxx doing Sanford and Son. So it may contain something about Nathaniel Taylor in it too. I plan to get the book soon.
William Betts : You clearly didn’t grow up in the 1970’s. Malcolm & Eddie wouldn’t even be close. *1970’s* Sanford & Son Chico & the Man Good Times The Jeffersons Welcome Back Kotter Barney Miller What’s Happening That’s My Mama Baby I’m Back WKRP in Cincinnati All in the Family (brilliant show!) Note: I can’t list Different Strokes or Facts of Life, even though they were good shows for their time. *1980’s and 1990’s* The Cosby Show A Different World In the House Out All Night Wayans Brothers Family Matters Living Single The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire Moesha Married With Children Martin *2000’s* Eve One-on-One Half & Half My Wife & Kids All of Us The Parkers Girlfriends The Game (Seasons 1-3 & 5-7) Meet the Browns House of Pain Love that Girl Black Ish Why Did I Get Married These were the best. Like a few of those listed above, Malcolm & Eddie was a decent show, but not a great one.
@@DeCurtaRican 1st, I was talking about my favorite list. 2nd, Moesha, out all night, in the house and married with children can definitely be taken off the list. Eddie G is a legend! Show that man some respect
This is sad...but this is real "LIFE" the truth has to be told! much respect to both of them "Eddie G." AND "Malcolm Jamal W." may their careers get better.....West Philly Salute!!!
It blew my mind when i learned that the cast of GOOD TIMES were not friends or even cordial to each other. Ester Rolle tried to block Ja'net DuBois from getting the part of Willona. Jimmy Walker tells the story in an interview.
As I look back at Malcolm and Eddie 1-10 I give it a 6 Didn’t like the cast And Malcolm still reminded me of Theo his swagg didn’t change at all When Carlton went to In the House his swagg actually changed...But Eddie made the show but he couldn’t do it all on his own so it got a 6
It's amazing when I read about shows I loved from the 70s and early 00s how the actors/actress didn't get along. It's amazing how the chemistry was strong enough for the show.
For some reason I vaguely remember hearing about them not liking each other back when the show was ending. Either way they didn’t let it get in the way so kudos to them and Eddie’s “Sandford & Son” song will forever be a classic tv moment! 😂
It always amazes me that folks watch videos or read articles of subjects they are not interested in just to make juvenile, simple minded comments instead of watching things they actually like. I guess you folks just like wasting your time.
@@faith2xxx nah, I knew something was off from jump. The energy was just off between them and she always looked either annoyed or apathetic. And he just seemed toooo, I don't...
This is the classic example of two individuals who were, because of their different backgrounds and interests, colleagues but not friends. However, it shouldn't be twisted. Warner and Griffin are/were not enemies. This was more a Kareem/Magic relationship than a Shaq/Kobe relationship.
Malcolm was boujie, and Eddie was more streetwise and ghetto! The epitome of how art imitate's life, on and off the TV. show set.That's why the show was a success, two polar opposites; Eddie can do stand-up comedy, but Malcolm need that sitcom to get paid...lol 😊😁☺
I hate to say this now because I've never said it before seeing this RUclips post. But I always thought their friendship was awkward on the show. Malcolm seemed dulled out. Like he didn't want to be there to me. It crossed my mind that he was upset that this was a definite step down from the Cosby Show but I was happy that he was still working at that time. They were like 2 totally different people living different lives ON THE SHOW. I'm not saying I knew there was a problem. I'm just saying that this is the reason why I DIDN'T like the show.
Ralo was Redds dopeman, Ralo was blessed by Redd bcuz of that an I'm guessin here but if you a serious actor an a co star an the cokeman roll up get a part an get paid as much as you ,fucc dat
I can see how they would have creative differences. Malcolm had a different upbringing...attending private schools around lots of white kids, receiving classical training, working with and rubbing noses with the Hollywood elite since childhood, etc. Eddie's beginnings are more humble. He spent his adolescence in Compton being reared in a working class family. Eddie probably wanted the comedy to appeal to working class blacks (like Martin, Bernie Mac, Def Comedy Jam, and Comic View did) , while Malcolm probably thought that was "Chitlin Circuit" material, and wanted it to appeal to white folks. Malcolm may be the bigger star, but Eddie makes a great point about white writers. When I watch a lot of modern prime time shows, the Black characters are such big cornballs that it's cringe-worthy (i.e. the comedic Black token who goes overboard to smile hard, crack jokes and be raceless in an effort to make white folks comfortable..from the timbre of the character's speech to the bland jokes).
They were cool and I loved the show. It shows us that you don't have to be best friends to play best friends and you can still succeed. These. two had a successful sitcom together without all the cat fighting .
I loved the show because it was two guys I enjoyed and both were straight. They represented the things I grew up around . I live in Chicago and had friends who represented that strong friendship.
Malcolm never thought he was better than Eddie, he just didnt like the fact that all these shows are stereotypical, angry black man, struggling black man, funny dancing black man, hes what a black person should be educated, well spoken, and professional.
@@edwardcashh924 That doesn’t explain the relationship between them two. In addition, he was on the show for 4 years or so? Why did he stay so long if he didn’t like that image? 🤷♂️
@@traderhines76 like he said, they both understood "the check" and when no one else is offering you a role of the intellectual black man in movies or shows then what?
@@edwardcashh924 You brought up Malcolm was mad because he didn’t like the fact that all those shoes were stereotypical. I still don’t understand what that has to do with THEIR relationship. As far as the type of shows that he prefers not being offered? That his concern and not mine.
THIS one, blows my mind. I absolutely LOVE Malcolm and Eddie!!!! In real life, and, on screen. Shows you what great actors that they are, there is NO sign of this, at ALL. And, of course, I go STRAIGHT to watching episodes of Malcolm & Eddie, love Nicolette's, lil sexy self.
But here's the thing Malcom and Eddie wasn't that stereo typical I mean two brothas that became bosses what's wrong with that now they were right with the behind the scenes politics and how it started to fall off with no real ending when it shut down.
I remember that one MAIN episode where it showed their differences and they didnt get along. One spends alot and is wreckless, the other is cheap. I dont know the name of it but that's one of my FAVORITE episodes...
It's really a bad look when two famous black brothers don't get along. Especially Theo and Eddie Griffin. I'm honestly a fan of both. Theo as a child, Eddie as a teenager and adult.i still like them both. Sometimes two people you like don't always get along.
And even upon revealing it now, he did so preserving the dignity of them both. No slander or salaciousness. I respect him for this. Class act.
Facts perfect example. As a co worker all you owe is respect and to be cordial, nothing in the rulebook that says we have to be friends.
Absolutely dats wat i thought i gained alot of respect for malcolm. I already had it for eddie dats my dude more like him than Malcolm jus i relate more to eddie but i like Malcolm tho
@@lilmik551 What?!
I couldn’t agree more. There is always a way to have class when explaining why two people didn’t get along.

They way he ended his relationship with Regina King was anything but classy!
Being classy is saying nothing about your relationship like Eddie did not talk like you came from two different lifestyles I know plenty of people who came from different lifestyles and they get along just fine believe me that has nothing to do with getting along unless one thinks he's better than the other so the class goes to Eddie for not even mentioning their relationship off set
Malcom and Eddie was a great show. But towards the end it became really dry.
Damn Nova Love you look so Lovely!
Your right! NBC shut it down it was too sexiest occurring to there standard's. But my delimea is why are black people with money throwing each other underneath the bus!!!
Facts
OTOLI X Lol 😂
@@themaninthemirror7262 It was on UPN. _Moesha_ was a hot commodity at the time.
Eddie is a real guy. Not sayin malcom isnt but they was raised totally different. Eddies from the hood. Him and my dad was neighbors as kids.
Yeah, it didn't seem like they would get along anyway, so I'm not surprised.
Yeah Malcom seems like the type of dude where he’s smug. Don’t surprise me, Cosby was notorious for downing comedians for raw humor and carried himself like he was holier than thou. He picked up a lot of those traits I assume
Aka Showtime lmao @holier then thou 😂
@@showtimesportsmedia6906I think u are grasping at straws.. Malcolm was his own person. A.) He didn't have to take the show he could of passed on it and let somebody else played the role...Nobody was forcing Malcolm to do the show...However there seems to be a divide in the black community...Everybody black experience is different...If you from the hood and came from nothing you have a different attitude towards a black middle class person and vice versa.. I say if he felt that way he should of never did the show point blank!
Being from the 'hood' does not make you more 'real' or better as a person. I believe the two were like oil and water. Malcolm learned from some of best by working on the Cosby Show and Eddie learned from his own experiences throughout the years.
Can't expect for a hood dude from Kansas City who will say and do anything he feels. Opposite to a guy with a Cosby mentality and conclude them to be the best of friends. Though giving their history from Eddie's standpoint you would never had or grasped this knowledge. Still a great show though.
That's what makes work.. A hood dude and a college dude making it work together.. That's how it supposed to be! Working together to get things done to get paid..
@@kenrickkahn I agree.
More respect to Eddie for never mentioning it in the first place now that's class
I jus liked the short thick dread chick she played on the Cosby's to
She did everything. Did the voice on the proud family too of Dijanay
Cody Lo That was Karen Malina White. She was dating Malcolm in real life.
She was gorgeous and her voice.
You talking bout nicolette?
@@conniehollins3185 word?
Still one of my favorite sitcoms. I'm grateful for streaming. I get to binge watch...thanks for the work.
You went from NBC to UPN. You did go from a top University to a Junior College.
Facts!!
Funny, because NBC has fallen so much- they’re both on par now.
@@tellysavalas6403 True.
@@geelee3281 Dont get me wrong I wanted to see UPN make it.
@Jay Bee -
You go where work is. Funny you did not mention Malcom has put in work behind the scenes over at Nickelodeon.....The second fiddle to Disney!
Was completely unaware of this til now🤷🏽♀️. I swear I love y’all channel 🙌🏾
You’re Lying! I thought they were best friends in real life! 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Pay me $1,000,000 and I'll act like I'm your best friend.
You definitely can work with people you don't get along with Do your job and I will do mine,But watch your Back...........
I thought the show was pretty good it didn't last long, it was way better than "Homeboys in Outter Space"
That's how I felt about it too and Malcolm and Eddie had better plots and subject matter on their show then homeboys from outer space did.
I respect both of them because they both got great experience as actors! In the industry, you got to show mutual respect to one another in the professional way!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Demond Wilson (Lamont Sanford) and Nathaniel Taylor (Rollo) actually didn't have a cool relationship off camera either. Mr. Wilson mentioned in an interview that Mr. Taylor actually didn't like him. From watching the show as a child, I would have never guessed.
Malcolm Jamal Warner acting style as an adult reminds me of Demond Wilson's.
Nathan Taylor was Redd Foxx's guy before Sanford and Son and after I wonder if Fox wanted to have him play Lamont and the producers refused went with Wilson
@@krlm2280 Like 2 days ago, I actually read about Taylor being Redd's guy before the show. But that's a good point you made. Demond wrote a book called 2nd Banana. It's the memoirs about him and Redd Foxx doing Sanford and Son. So it may contain something about Nathaniel Taylor in it too. I plan to get the book soon.
@@freedeagle1 sounds good i may have to check that out too
To be fair, no one got along with Wilson. The man was notoriously unlikable.
It’s all about that check at the end of the day. Much respect to them both for coming 2gether bowing and praying b4 every the recording of every show.
Malcom and eddy was definitely a top 10 show of mine

This is sad...but this is real "LIFE" the truth has to be told! much respect to both of them "Eddie G." AND "Malcolm Jamal W." may their careers get better.....West Philly Salute!!!
It blew my mind when i learned that the cast of GOOD TIMES were not friends or even cordial to each other. Ester Rolle tried to block Ja'net DuBois from getting the part of Willona. Jimmy Walker tells the story in an interview.
What part?
Its about that paper PERIOD!!!
I'll say!!!✊ Right on.
I'm shocked!!! I recently watched all the seasons of Malcolm and Eddie on Crackle, I enjoyed the show!!! Malcolm grew up to be so damn gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
It's called acting, professionalism, and a touch of class ❤
As I look back at Malcolm and Eddie 1-10 I give it a 6 Didn’t like the cast And Malcolm still reminded me of Theo his swagg didn’t change at all When Carlton went to In the House his swagg actually changed...But Eddie made the show but he couldn’t do it all on his own so it got a 6
Alfonso's character on in the house is Carlton tf you talking about...😄😄
E Derrell only on one episode dumass his name is maxwell when he officially became part of the cast he not even from bel air on dere
@@CreativeLaelAsif dumass?😏ok. His character was basically Carlton on every episode if you paid attention smart guy..tf you talking about
E Derrell maxwell swagg was different than Carlton Carlton was more lame
@@ederrell6032 I was thinking the same and Malcolm didn't remind me of Theo on M&E
A black show with limited or no black writers will never work
Big Al That was Hollywood for years.
THIS!
But Y'all Made It Happened 💯
It's amazing when I read about shows I loved from the 70s and early 00s how the actors/actress didn't get along. It's amazing how the chemistry was strong enough for the show.
His description of the Cosby atmosphere is powerful. He has to find what happened to him devastating and surreal.
For some reason I vaguely remember hearing about them not liking each other back when the show was ending. Either way they didn’t let it get in the way so kudos to them and Eddie’s “Sandford & Son” song will forever be a classic tv moment! 😂
"Where do you rank Malcolm and Eddie on your all time list"
Said... no one... ever...
It always amazes me that folks watch videos or read articles of subjects they are not interested in just to make juvenile, simple minded comments instead of watching things they actually like. I guess you folks just like wasting your time.
I love your channel brotha keep it up .
Malcolm and Eddie is definitely top ten all time shows for me. Wish it would’ve lasted longer
Enjoyed that show.. and I agree with Malcolm put personal issues aside and get paid.
Damn, the last black tv duo that had me fooled was the Neely's.
They were sugary sweet fake. I was always low key curious about them, but in the end they got me too.
@@faith2xxx nah, I knew something was off from jump. The energy was just off between them and she always looked either annoyed or apathetic. And he just seemed toooo, I don't...
Andre' Goods yes, I couldn’t believe the neelys hated each other! They deserved an Oscar!
@@MissEasyPeasySleasy
As it turned out, she wanted a divorce before the show even hit the air. That was some strong acting on her part.
Two different people, two different schools of thought mature enough to work together despite differences.
That’s how Men don’t do beef! Respect
This is the classic example of two individuals who were, because of their different backgrounds and interests, colleagues but not friends. However, it shouldn't be twisted. Warner and Griffin are/were not enemies. This was more a Kareem/Magic relationship than a Shaq/Kobe relationship.
Theodore Aloysius Huxtable grew up to be handsome
Yes he did
Yes. I crushed on him so hard back in the Cosby Show back in the day....
Wow! You said the whole name🤣
@@203Venom YESSSS, now cut me a switch 😁😁😁😁😁🥰
Malcolm was boujie, and Eddie was more streetwise and ghetto! The epitome of how art imitate's life, on and off the TV. show set.That's why the show was a success, two polar opposites; Eddie can do stand-up comedy, but Malcolm need that sitcom to get paid...lol 😊😁☺
Respect for being honest about it. People are just at different stages in life
I hate to say this now because I've never said it before seeing this RUclips post. But I always thought their friendship was awkward on the show. Malcolm seemed dulled out. Like he didn't want to be there to me. It crossed my mind that he was upset that this was a definite step down from the Cosby Show but I was happy that he was still working at that time. They were like 2 totally different people living different lives ON THE SHOW. I'm not saying I knew there was a problem. I'm just saying that this is the reason why I DIDN'T like the show.
Eddie Griffin never talks about them not liking each other.
Lamont and Ralo didn't get along either in real life
@@felinefokus which one was queer?👀👀 Sanford and Son is my favorite comedy of all time..
U funny
now that I think about it Martin and Cole didn't either....damnnn they all are some good ass actors because they had me fooled
Ralo was Redds dopeman, Ralo was blessed by Redd bcuz of that an I'm guessin here but if you a serious actor an a co star an the cokeman roll up get a part an get paid as much as you ,fucc dat
@@kapovellithapimp9722 It seems like Ralo was high during those episodes, judging by the way he talked and looked.
The show wasn’t on long enough to appreciate, and you could tell through their body language that they didn’t like each other...
I can see how they would have creative differences. Malcolm had a different upbringing...attending private schools around lots of white kids, receiving classical training, working with and rubbing noses with the Hollywood elite since childhood, etc. Eddie's beginnings are more humble. He spent his adolescence in Compton being reared in a working class family. Eddie probably wanted the comedy to appeal to working class blacks (like Martin, Bernie Mac, Def Comedy Jam, and Comic View did) , while Malcolm probably thought that was "Chitlin Circuit" material, and wanted it to appeal to white folks. Malcolm may be the bigger star, but Eddie makes a great point about white writers. When I watch a lot of modern prime time shows, the Black characters are such big cornballs that it's cringe-worthy (i.e. the comedic Black token who goes overboard to smile hard, crack jokes and be raceless in an effort to make white folks comfortable..from the timbre of the character's speech to the bland jokes).
This is the best Narrator on the channel.
Respect will be paid.
If in the Black community we had respect for each other WE COULD GO SO FAR
They were cool and I loved the show. It shows us that you don't have to be best friends to play best friends and you can still succeed. These. two had a successful sitcom together without all the cat fighting .
Malcom was spoiled coming up. Eddie probably too raw
Andrew Smith Facts
I could just see Eddie crackin' on Malcolm about everything, and Malcolm gettin' his "Theo" feelins' hurt.😂😂😂😂😂
Malcolm is a classy dude. I respect him is as a black man and actor.
Sounds like he was uptight about his career and took it out on Eddie
I loved the show because it was two guys I enjoyed and both were straight. They represented the things I grew up around . I live in Chicago and had friends who represented that strong friendship.
“Different schools of life” translation= Eddie thought Malcolm was uppity and Malcom thought he was better than because he was on the Cosby show.
Malcolm never thought he was better than Eddie, he just didnt like the fact that all these shows are stereotypical, angry black man, struggling black man, funny dancing black man, hes what a black person should be educated, well spoken, and professional.
@@edwardcashh924 That doesn’t explain the relationship between them two. In addition, he was on the show for 4 years or so? Why did he stay so long if he didn’t like that image? 🤷♂️
@@traderhines76 like he said, they both understood "the check" and when no one else is offering you a role of the intellectual black man in movies or shows then what?
@@edwardcashh924 You brought up Malcolm was mad because he didn’t like the fact that all those shoes were stereotypical. I still don’t understand what that has to do with THEIR relationship. As far as the type of shows that he prefers not being offered? That his concern and not mine.
@@traderhines76 Eddie was that stereotypical type, thats why they didnt mesh well.
THIS one, blows my mind. I absolutely LOVE Malcolm and Eddie!!!! In real life, and, on screen. Shows you what great actors that they are, there is NO sign of this, at ALL. And, of course, I go STRAIGHT to watching episodes of Malcolm & Eddie, love Nicolette's, lil sexy self.
But here's the thing Malcom and Eddie wasn't that stereo typical I mean two brothas that became bosses what's wrong with that now they were right with the behind the scenes politics and how it started to fall off with no real ending when it shut down.
My favorite Malcolm and Eddie episodes are the on where Eddie performs as Prince, and the one where Eddie is a werewolf.
I KNEW ABOUT GHIS 20 YEARS AGO, THEY BOTH WENT AS FAR AS TRYING TO GET EACH OTHER FIRED WHEN THE RATINGS TANKED.
Im glad that actors go through the same thing, I know when I left a job or two I really liked, the transition was really hard! Peace!
That's LIFE!!!! You're not best friends with everyone!!!😎
I don’t get along with any of my coworkers..I’m not there for them. I’m there for that paper every 2 weeks 💲

ARBJ85- look before i saw you comment i was coming back to add those 2. Im tripping I forgot all about fresh prince and Urcle.
Malcolm And Eddie made me laugh
I remember that one MAIN episode where it showed their differences and they didnt get along. One spends alot and is wreckless, the other is cheap. I dont know the name of it but that's one of my FAVORITE episodes...
Yea but Eddie's son is named Malcolm hmm everything aint always BAD
I still watch this everyday on prime...but thats DOPE they understood business...its one of my go to shows...
Ranking wise idk but I'd rather watch malcolm and Eddie over "almost" anything that's on tv now
Me too. I still watch it whenever I get a chance.
It's really a bad look when two famous black brothers don't get along. Especially Theo and Eddie Griffin. I'm honestly a fan of both. Theo as a child, Eddie as a teenager and adult.i still like them both. Sometimes two people you like don't always get along.
Malcolm & Eddie was cool but wasnt even in my top 20 of sitcoms but this is no surprise as im finding out most actors didnt get along in real life
I actually liked Malcolm and Eddie. He was spot on about the UPN programming at the time. Let us never forget the “Homeboys in Outaspace”.
Lord...I did forget about that show until now :)
Homeboys in Outer space was horrible and I like Flex
How professional!
The bust em in the grill line still pops up in my head
They are two different types of men.
I love hearing this. No fakeness, just real. They still worked together and respected eachother as men and got that bag.
