NBC wanted star power but the Wayans wanted John Witherspoon because of that comedic chemistry that they had with him. The Wayans stood on business while also not replacing Witherspoon and that show became a classic
💯 Plus the crazy part, John Witherspoon was part of Richard's Pryor camp, and was on the NBC Richard Pryor show in the 70s, and his stints on House Party, Five Heartbeats, Boomerang, and more stuff, John was an amazing choice, and no one could play Pops but him
Til this day I still think the Waynes Brothers is one of the funniest sitcoms of all time! John was perfect for that part and in my opinion is one of the most realistic dads in sitcom history. It really feels like he’s their pops in real life. Glad they didn’t make that change.
Marlon has gotten wise. Dude is full of gems in business and self-development character. I hope everyone is paying attention to what he's saying because it actually goes beyond entertaining.
Too many people are stupid greedy. NOT clever greedy but stupid greedy. What he said about syndication is the wonderful simplicity of that business model. Instead, the execs want to be the gods of streaming. Syndication filled their pockets with moderate complications. Going after streaming is destroying the whole industry. Because it is a mirage, a fever dream. Syndication was REAL.
I LOVED The Wayans Brothers show and The Jamie Foxx Show from back in the day.I bought the first season of The Jamie Foxx Show for $ 1.50 from a local pawn shop a few days ago,also bought the first season of The Wayans Brothers show from amazon couple weeks ago,man,the nostalgia was almost over whelming. Good stuff.
They are the Wayans. The other guys were just network executives. The Wayans will not starve if they fail to sell a show. They MAY if they produce a miserable flop because they listened to a bunch of paper-pushers.
Marlon is correct, I couldn't picture nobody else playing Pops but John. I mean sure its other guys out there that's funny as well, but with John it just works!!!
36 year old male here: One of my favorite shows of all time!!!! 1. Martin 2. Wayan bros 3. My wife and kids 4. Jamie Foxx show AND Thank you John for all the laughs.
He has his fame, his money, his record, his TALENT. All HIS. Giving flowers, giving respect, giving LOVE, costs him less than nothing and earns him respect, friendship and love. Small men are insecure and toxic. Marlon is a BIG man.
And it was also the WISE thing to do. JW was great in the role. Whoever the network wanted for the roll might not have been. Marlon was like Pauly in Goodfellas. He didn't have to listen to ANYBODY.
Marlon's a really solid stand up guy glad he stood on business when it came to john Witherspoon God rest his soul he was a funny man and his role in Friday will forever be remembered 🗣️💯
Your videos are like a ray of sunshine in the gray of everyday life, which penetrates the heart and lifts the mood. Thank you for your cheerful creativity!🔥🍀🙀
Still like that now, especially in the corporate world. DEI…. Companies hate it for one reason, they want it to stay the club it was, “it” being everything.
Shannon, thank your for this interview. Marlon, did a great recap on the business of Hollywood and how money is distributed. Really appreciated it. Also, I loved John Witherspoon. RIP.
I was trying to find old videos to reminisce about John Whiterspoon, whom l cherish for his amazing humor and personality (which is something that reminded me of my grandfather). So coming across this video feels like a blessing and meant to be, because Marlons humor and who he is, is equally as cherished and inspirational to me. Thank you for this video
You can say what ever you want about Marlon but he is a stand up dude who cares about his ppl.That trumps anything to me.He could have easily threw pops to the wind but they didn't.Marlon a real one for this.
John Witherspoon played a good part in Wayans brothers. I loved that show as a kid tha three of them made me laugh. Marlon n Shawn Wayans are my guy's I home they come out with something new together, them two together are a magic duo for sure no Capp.
One thing I always respected about the Wayans brothers is how they had each other's backs. My brothers are back stabbers 😂. My internet was out for a week and I was looking through my stuff and found season 1 of the Wayans brothers I bought on DVD. That show was good.
The Wayans Bros……WB sunday night classic…..glad Shawn and Marlon looked out for John Witherspoon……NBC was too nit picky and thankfully the Wayans Bros was on the WB network and not on NBC…..if the Wayans bros was on NBC, it wouldn’t have lasted two seasons……RIP John Witherspoon……
Club Shay Shay I love this interview with Marlon the stories about his family and brothers the Wayne's are iconic that deserves and icon awards thanks. Club Shay Shay I loved this interview one of your best ones keep up the good work 👏
Marlon rephrase that you said you want to go down as one of the greats.....YOU ALREADY ARE!! you your brother and your family are star studded comedians they wayans name will live on forever 🗣️💯

Glad Shawn and Marlon stood on business for Pops.
Glad they weren't pushed around and they were loyal to pops to the end ❤🙏💯
Like marlon said. Parent raised him right. Everybody aint real like that.
Pops was necessary though like he said I can't think of anyone that would've played that role like Pops did!
❤💯
That’s called loyalty. One of the greatest mentors they could’ve ever dreamed of
RIP John Witherspoon ❤🐐🕊🙏

John is a legend. Im glad they stood on business
❤💯
They couldn't replace him anyway Witherspoon a icon
The show would have never been the same without him. Glad they kept him!
Right me to
Yeah man..John said you gotta be lik a janitor open any door you want 😂💯

NBC wanted a cookie cutter type they could put in their own box.
@@jsanders9975 exactly. I like Danny Glover to but he just didn’t fit that character like Witherspoon did
@@bradleycampbell245 Nothing against Danny Glover but Pops brought so much to that show. The ghetto stereotype was unnecessary.

Yes you’re absolutely right!

Vlad didn't deserve this royalty on his show
Facts.
True indeed 👌🏽
Sure did not.
At Alllll😂
Facts!!
Shawn said that same story at John's funeral NBC didn't want John to be in the show. They fought for him. The realest in the game.
In one of the episodes Shawn takes a jab at NBC he's changing the channel
And thank God NBC didn't picked up, if they did, they would be destroyed over huge by other shows at that time.
He almost started crying bout John. I ain't mad atcha Bro. Can tell he really loves John
Shout-out to Marlon and Shawn showin' Love to John like that...the way things should be
Love this !!!
Pops-“ Yee tee deeeee!”
Marlon-“Don’t tell nooooobodyyy!”
Lollll yes nostalgia ❤❤❤❤I gatta watch some reruns
Howdy doo
-Pops
Made me tear up❤❤❤
Marlon has gotten wise. Dude is full of gems in business and self-development character. I hope everyone is paying attention to what he's saying because it actually goes beyond entertaining.

The Wayan’s bro’s show is so slept on it’s one of the funniest shows out at that time. Idc how many times I’ve seen an episode I’m watching it.

@@kerry-j4m Yeah, you can’t get the first season of Jamie Foxx on RUclips but I got the other four. Can’t forget Martin
Hip hop Pops forever 🐐
Still one of my favorite shows to this very day for my childhood. Shawn, Marlon, Pops, and Dee. Them four always made me laugh.😂
Facts, same here ❤
Dee was the perfect addition to the trio. Her first episode is one of my favorites
I like how they replaced her 😂
Dee was-GORGEOUS-had a-HUGE-crush on her too.
Marlon is a class act and made our people look good with this interview !
He’s not lying!!! The Wayans family put so many people on!
WB was good times man.
Factz💯
That frog was posed to b racist tho 😂
John Witherspoon is one of the greatest TV dad ever
Yes, there was so much comedic chemistry between him and the Wayans brothers.
Rest in Peace. John Witherspoon. Good thing the Wayans kept him ..We was has miss out..
I didn’t know he passed.😢
Man Witherspoon is irreplaceable. So glad they was ride or die for him
Boy I'm glad they showed John the respect he deserved when they put they foot down
They are the Wayans. The other guys were just network executives. The Wayans will not starve if they fail to sell a show. They MAY if they produce a miserable flop because they listened to a bunch of paper-pushers.

Yupp..John had that wayans kind of funny to him and he not even from their family
THE WAYNES BROTHERS STARTED IT ALL!..THEIR THE REAL OGS!
In loving color started it

One of my favorite shows of all time!!!!
1. Martin
2. Wayan bros

4. Jamie Foxx show
AND Thank you John for all the laughs.
"we're brothers. We're happy and we're singing and we're colored..... Give me a high five" clowning nbc every episode lol.
How is it clowning them ?
@@franciscoespaillat6375you’re not cultured huh
yo, i never caught that until you just said that.
@@franciscoespaillat6375did you not listen to what Marlon said about NBC? If you can’t figure it out, it may be because you don’t want to.
@@jonathanwatson1908 What a diss track. Great Easter Egg!
R.I.P John Witherspoon aka Pops 💐💯💐
Maan whenever Witherpoon would threaten to spank them and a start taking off his belt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i like Hop Hop Pop too. "nah mean? nah mean?"
I love how Marlon loves to give other people their flowers. That’s a special gem ❤
He has his fame, his money, his record, his TALENT. All HIS. Giving flowers, giving respect, giving LOVE, costs him less than nothing and earns him respect, friendship and love. Small men are insecure and toxic. Marlon is a BIG man.
John Witherspoon was a beast!!!!
The wayans bros was a great show man and they didn’t even get a final episode. Still watch reruns, Rip John Witherspoon aka pops 🙏✊🏾
Three on a couch episode should've been the final episode of the wayans bros...when they were reminiscing the good times at therapy lol
Where can I watch the show?😊
Realizing your own journey is definitely confidence
I’m sooooo glad they kept pops 💛😿 that’s LOVE that’s LOYALTY
That's sense. Marlon KNEW what worked. No need to listen to a bunch of constipated network executives.
Respect to the Wayans bros.
The Wayans Bros show was one of my favorite sitcoms growing up. Having A Tribe Called Quest do the second half of the theme song was iconic!
John was to funny. That mf right there was on time with those jokes, bravo pops
Great move! Loyalty over money!
And it was also the WISE thing to do. JW was great in the role. Whoever the network wanted for the roll might not have been. Marlon was like Pauly in Goodfellas. He didn't have to listen to ANYBODY.
I’m glad they stood ten toes down on John Witherspoon! That’s loyalty and class at its finest!
They couldn't have a asked for a better funny father in the wayans brothers show they nailed it with John Witherspoon 🗣️💯🤣
We all could get so much further in life if we had the mentality of helping each other out and looking out for each other
That part

“John, I’m gonna get them keys” hits so hard that I felt it.
The Wayans bros was apart of our entertainment before social media. Thats way we refuse to let vultures like Vlad disrespect our legends 💪🏾👏🏾
RIP John Witherspoon Icon John so funny glad Shawn, Marlon stood beside John.
I love that they didn’t let them take him away from the show cause he was killing it
Vlad wouldn't let him get a sentence off.
This interview would never had been this good on Glad tv…lol
Pops was the reason I watched the show he funny af rip pops
Pop pop pop pop sugar pop
Classic 😂😂😂😂
When he got choked up taking about john witherspoon, I legitimately did as well. John was a treasure
John Witherspoon was the perfect Pops for the show. Glad Marlon and Shawn recognized it.

This is why i miss the wb & upn
Show kept a smile on my face. Shows such as there's and Martin was a form of therapy. You knew you was going to feel good during those 30mins.
