    I was a little kid watching his show with my mother. Rediscovered him as an adult. The more he talks in this interview the more I would love to see a film about his life.

    Great program. Mr. Wilson was a remarkable man -- intelligent, funny, kind, and dignified. I watched him on public TV growing up and still miss him.

    He still looked good in this interview. If it would've been possible to have had 3 grandfather's I wish he could've been one of mine!!!!!!!! Love you Mr. Justin, may you rest in peace and never be forgotten!!!!!! You would be proud to know many people are still watching your shows and loving them, God Bless.

      There are many Cajun's who consider him a fake and his humor mocking them.
