  • In this flashback, John Witherspoon shared his life story, including how he got into comedy. He also shared stories about his roles in classic films, including Boomerang and Friday, where Witherspoon said he ad-libbed a lot of his lines. He also spoke about the actors in Friday being paid $5,000 each, and John addressed why Chris Tucker didn't come back for the sequels.

      Embrace Resilience: Life is filled with challenges and setbacks, but it's important to cultivate resilience. Learn to adapt, bounce back from failures, and persevere through difficult times. Resilience helps build inner strength and enables you to navigate obstacles with a positive mindset.
      Practice Gratitude: Cultivating a sense of gratitude can bring immense joy and fulfillment to your life. Take time to appreciate the little things, express gratitude for what you have, and focus on the positives. Gratitude shifts your perspective, fosters contentment, and enhances your overall well-being.
      Prioritize Relationships: Nurturing meaningful relationships is essential for personal growth and happiness. Invest time and effort into building and maintaining connections with family, friends, and loved ones. Genuine relationships provide support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. They contribute to a fulfilling and balanced life.

      @Lady Love, They are doing a reboot in Fall of 2020 of Boondocks. Aaron Mcgruger will be the show runner, not sure if he will be doing the actual writing . John Witherspoon was so excited because 50 episodes were recently ordered and John talked about the reboot in an interview I just watched in May 2019. The show will not be the same without him because for his character Grandpa, John said they used his actual voice, and also let him adlib his lines to increase the comic humor to the show.

    Pops, nothing can express the pain I feel this morning. The idea that life is real & legends are taken from us. u was funny, u was weird, but u was graceful, & you was a gentleman. If it's 1 thing u taught me is to fight w/ fist, not w/ guns, "because you win some, you lose some, but you live, you live to fight another day". And with that quote I hope to pass it on to my offsprings and they too live by that philosophy so they never have to fire off or be fired at. #RIPJohnWitherspoon
