- When Sanford and Son aired in 1972 it brought millions together as they watched antics and schemes of Fred Sanford and his son Lamont. Heralded as a forerunner for African American sitcoms, Sanford and Son, decades later, continues to enthrall audiences with its slap-knee humor and wit.
Go behind the scenes with me as I chat with actor and author, Demond Wilson, known for playing the long-suffering, patient, and loving son Lamont.
Join me for this special edition of Write Stuff as I chat with Demond Wilson on Thursday, August 24th.

Demond is the ultimate, intelligent, no - nonsense GOAT !!!!! God Bless Him !
Him and judge Joe Brown …
Demond is awesome. The more I learn about him the more I respect him.
He is so intelligent speaking 🗣️
I learned how to save my money by listening to Demond Wilson. Thanks, Demond, from a 72 year old, and thanks for going to Vietnam, so I did not have to.
To hear others tell it, he's a boor. They're misinformed, overly sensitive and sadly mistaken. Sigh!
This man is solid! They don’t make men like him anymore. Thank you for this interview! Amazing
“They” making men has been most detrimental to melinated people. Men (and women) have forfeited their innate ability to to think and think critically with their own minds and following innate spiritual guidance
I love how this interview was conducted. No overtalking. No interrupting. He is very entertaining.
He is great to listen to I love the old school stories
Great man of God stays true to his call 😊
That's exactly why I'm commenting, this talented woman is just the best interviewer I've seen in a long time. The Comedy Hype interviewer stuck out for his unpreparedness and silly behavior
Beautiful interview, Mr Wilson is one of the few elders that speaks the truth on every issue, I love it.
A man with a wealth of wisdom and very, very funny !
Man oh man...1st....wishing U Happy 2024...the Black Theatre NEC one of my Theatre Group in NYC ..those characters you mentioned I've seen them in other venues they made me PROUD throughout those years ...I still get excited seeing or hearing their names...NEC did good by us 🎉🪘❤❤🎉❤🪘🎉❤❤🌿
TY for doing this Interview!!!🎉❤🎉❤
I agree the woman are misrepresenting....I don't want to play gender matching
Wow this was a Gem of an interview!!! This man is one of the one's that has escaped the horrors of an industry that consumes people.. 50 years married to the same woman.. Looks great at 76..Speaks intelligently, & dropping wisdom... Love this!!!!!
He is very wise. And I love how honest and straightforward he is.
What a nice, intelligent,clean 🧽 interview , not a single cuz word; may the good Lord keep Mr. Wilson! 👍
The more I hear Demond talk, the more I want to hear. Great interview.❤
He was so pleasant here. This is definitely my favorite interview he's done.
That dude on Comedy Hype pissed him off some how behind the scenes
@@Eagles883 Demond gets defensive when talking about his inability to have a TV career after S&S. He's never gotten over the bitterness.
@@LinkRocks possibly
@LinkRocks Maybe, but he left to be a minister, so I wonder if to him, it's not that important. I do want to see this new show that he is on, on a Christian movie channel. Demand Wilson always seemed to me an honest, straight-talking nice guy and a traditional man, not impressed by the Hollywood of hedonism and vices.
And as we ladies know, he has aged very well and is very wise.
I agree, usually he is very controversial and arrogant and honestly an asshole and i think that is the real Demond Wilson. I can see him being hard to get along with and a sexist. Fortunately she caught him on a good day
This is a great interview, great interviewer. Mr. Wilson is a national treasure.
I love how he doesn’t waver when it comes to his convictions. When you are a man or woman of principle and have resources which allow you not to be beholden to an employer or job, you have true freedom.
I agree with you. I admire the fact that he turns down Hollywood offers to maintain his convictions and moral standards.
Just saw this AMAZING interview.He is truly a Legend and Treasure.I grew up watching Sanford & Son, The Jefferson's, All in the Family.May GOD continue to BLESS him and family ALWAYS.
me too. me and my mother watched it every week in the 70s when it came out and busted a gut.
What a great interview. Mr. Demond Wilson is a brilliant gentleman. 👍
Excellent interview 👍🏾 This host did a beautiful job. Demond Wilson is such an intriguing figure and a wealth of knowledge and strength. I will be reading his books and always wishing him the best! Btw, my favorite line/delivery of his from S & S was: "Would you stop it? Now, just stop it." 😂😂 Well done all around 💪🏾
I always knew Mr. Wilson was talented. But I had no idea he was also CONSCIOUS. Much love and respect.
You can only get Truth and Knowledge from the elders like this Man in Christ. Thank you for the many great memories and I will always be a fan of Sanford & Son.
Love Red Foxx and Demond Wilson and all the people they brought to the show! So historical!
Great interview. You did a great job speaking with Mr. Wilson. Not all people who interviewed him could do the same. His wisdom is not on many folks' levels. Thank you, sister.
Great interview Parker J Cole..you did an amazing job!!!🥰
Mr. Wilson is truly a Gem and a compendium of inspirational insights, cultural awareness and knowledge!
This was a very enjoyable interview. The hostess is very good at her task of interviewing and then Listening. So much appreciation for her demure and professional approach. I will have to look deeper into to this channel. As a 60 something, I literally grew up watching the new weekly episodes of Sanford and Son. It was THE funniest show on television for more than a minute. Listening to Mr. Wilson speak here was quite interesting. I don’t want to say too much. I just really enjoyed the entire 59 minutes immensely. ❤
What a great man. I love how he looks at things and the way young women carry themselves. I respect him for that. Truly a great man!!
What a wonderful thing to run across this interview, This was aired during my youth. We looked forwàrd to watching OUR black folk. Mr. Wilson, thank all of for such fond memories. Please do continue your walk with GOD. Do HIS. Work fully. Love you much.

Talk about a critical thinker, this man’s knowledge of the way of the world blew me away
I really enjoyed this interview. You just let him talk and didn't interrupt.😊
Yes. That was the problem...with HIM!
He is still so handsome!
Thank you Demond! 💗💗🤓🤓👏👏👏👏
I'm glad to see young people today showing interest in these classic shows we grew up with.
OMG!!! I was able to meet Demond Wilson at my church in the early 90’s in Massillon Ohio. He preached that morning, and was awesome! He spoke under a prophetic anointing!!! He knew my pastor, Bernard Lawson, from being in the entertainment field. I almost got to cut his hair when he asked if anyone in service could cut hair. But I was too afraid to say anything because I was only in the cosmetology field for a little over a year and didn’t want to be known as the girl who jacked up Demond Wilson’s hair! 😂
I would love to see him again and pick his brain since I’m a playwright now. Great interview! And MAN! I wish young men and women would hear this and follow his advice concerning relationships.❤
I love Demond Wilson's character. He's a true man of God and listening to his level of wisdom is extremely refreshing. Great interview, thank you.
I love Demond the actor and Demond the preacher. He says it like it is. I love listening to him.
Great interview! Demond Wilson is a Class Act! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It`s nice to hear that Demond and Red always got along.
Great interview! Demond is a very intelligent man. Love listening to him. He knows exactly what's going on in the world today. Loved him on "Sanford & Son," one of my favorite shows.
Sanford and Son is my favorite show & REDD FOXX IS MY FAVORITE PERSON OF ALL TIME!👍😊
I watch Sanford and son all night..so funny 😂😂😂thank you for your hard work!!❤️
So Refreshing and I love soaking up the knowledge, thank you
I’m sorry to hear Demond Wilson has cancer.. My prayers go out to him and his wife .. children and the rest of his family.. Especially after eating right and trying to stay healthy.. I hope he beats it !!! God is good all the time.. I pray healing in his body 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Amen 🙏🏼 Amen 🙏🏼A very wise man indeed.. humble and handsome. 😇
This was and amazing interview with this icon! I could watch a 1000 times ! Can't wait to go get his books! Still my favorite TV show of all-time! He right black don't crack cuz he looks like he should still be a leading Giant in Hollywood!
Great interview, I remember when Sanford & Son debuted. I didn't realize Lamont was so deep and real!
I love how he really doesn’t focus on himself and mentions other actors and their contributions. He’s very blunt and honest. Always loved his character on S&S and Baby, I’m back. He’s deeper than I knew. Good job; you let him speak!
Have always admired the boldness & intelligence of our brother. God bless him family as he continue going forward.
I did not know this about Mr. Wilson. Thank you for your service and all the laughs
Mr. Wilson I bought your book 2 years ago, I enjoyed it very much! Thank you
I prefer this interview over the one conducted on The Comedy Hype. Mr. Demond Wilson spent so much time repeating himself and explaining things due to the interviewer's lack of preparation. I learned more in the first few minutes of this interview than the other. Well done and thank you.
I love this interview! Brother Demond knew everybody! What a history? Such a rich cultured, thespian and intellect! Beautiful thespian-connected history!
Amazing story. Did not know he was a Vietnam vet and went on to star in the most iconic tv comedy ever! I’m still watching Sanford and Son 50 years later.
Great interview very informative and thought provoking ❤!!! Praise Due To The Most High God!
The greatest Sanford and Son episode in my mind is the episode where Lamont tried to get married. Demond and Red Fox knocked that episode out of the ballpark !!! Their chemistry was so phenomenal in that wedding episode !!! I always wondered if Richard Pryor helped write that episode? I wish Demond would talk about that episode. Thanks for doing this interview with Demond. I could tell you made him feel really comfortable, That's why you opened up and gave us lots of great stories and good wisdom !!! It is really neat to learn about one of my childhood icons.
Great interview! Much respect for Demond !
GREAT interview. Demond is one solid brother. Forget that, he’s one solid MAN. Talk about wisdom. WOW. Loved what he said about the “African American” thing. We are ALL AMERICANS. I hate the separation of races that existed in the past and is STILL taught, proliferated, and EXPLOITED by the leaders of today. We are all Americans. And just cause you’re “skin folk” don’t mean you’re kinfolk. Sanford and Son like Demond said was real. Especially the relationship of an elderly rambunctious widowed father and his conscientious son. I lived it years later with my own father and his irreverent behavior. Great interview.
He's a real one! Much respect💯
He looks amazing. Congrats Parker!
I know right. Demond looks great.
Ms. Cole, as an interviewer, good job!
This is one of the best interviews, I have ever seen. The way it was put together regarding the cut-ins were informative and amusing. Kudos to you.
And the chemistry between Demond and Redd was undeniable.
Demond is an exemplary individual who lives his life the right way - From being a decorated vet, a dedicated family man and a talented actor. Just an impressive guy.
Well Thank u for presenting him I us. I will be getting the book, and hopefully Blacks as a whole read his book
Bravo! great interview! My father in law was Mark Lenard from the original Star Trek. I believe he died a believer but I saw that you like Star Trek. Again Great Interview and I was completely blessed by it.
Loved this interview! He was very personable and genuine!
I love Demond. Huge fan of his. The guy is a wealth of knowledge. My father (God rest his soul) was also a huge fan of his, and now I know why. I watch all his interviews. Just a really fascinating man. ❤
Love this Brother',,
Thanks for sharing this video
..This man is brilliant., I'm very impressed...Such an Awesome Spirit!!
Loved Sanford and Son..Never seen this part of him, but Lamont..,
The Host is knowledgeable and nice and Demond Wilson is just delightful. One interview I watched earlier was ugly. This one is perfect.❤
WHAT A GREAT INTERVIEW!!! Thank you!!
I 💕Sanford and son. I'm still watching it til this day. Fred and Demond was a heck of a team. I listen in my head phones while I'm working. And I laugh so hard people ask me what wrong or what the heck are you laughing at? 😂❤❤
Absolutely wonderful interview. So glad to hear the history , memories and so much wisdom. Demond Wilson is one of a kind! God bless both of you and your families
Dropping so many jewels. An epic interview!
Although the interviewer not aware the death of Demond, I appreciate that she let him speak without asking him poor questions
What a good man! he's a man of GOD! God bless you and your wife and your family, my brother!
GREETINGS@WRIT STUFF THANK YOU, JUST JOINED.
Mr Wilson speaks truth. I love him..❤
Awesome interview..😊
Still Handsome, He’s growing old gracefully..✨
Great interview! Very informative and enlightening! ❤ Thanks for being a gentleman who is a true role model for up and coming young men. We love you Demond Wilson. May Yahweh continue to bless you.
Broadway at six years old 😮 impressive 💥💥💞💥💥💞💥💞💥💥💞 I also grew up walking Sanford and Son 😂😂😂😂.
He is 💯 percent on point.❤❤❤. Good man. Shalom
I love the Parker J Cole Show! Queen of Tuesday nights
We truly need more of this real conversations. Gotta follow you
Wow Desmond thinking is so wonderful i see why Hollywood not for him!!!
Very wise man... His book is real he tells us younger generations never mind. Yall need to get the book!!!
Fantastic! This puts me in a good mood. What a legend. Such strong connections to the theater, he most have known other greats like Vinnette Carroll, Ossie Davis, etc. I remember, of course, pre Sanford, the All in the Family episode he did with Cleavon Little. Great content!
I am blessed just to listen to brother Wilson share this wisdom with the world. You're not gonna hear this truth anywhere else at this time---and the GOLD is that he's written books about it all. Unfortunately, those that need to read it ---cant read. Good stuff! I am very grateful for this interview. Btw---The New Age Millennium book isn't for the faint at heart. I recommend a prayer-for-protection affirmation before reading anything.
Demond is awake. This is a spiritual battle on earth now. keep on spreading the truth. 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, the interview was very well done.
I'm so glad I ran across this Channel, this will be one I watch time & time again.
Sanford and son the best television sitcom of the 70's.
love this man of God always watched when on air in 1970s made my day when He started preaching stood up for God. now still preaching truth and I have been a preacher for 40 years not always easy to stand for truth praise God for him.
the write stuff you were a great blessing to me also a true blessing
Love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I just started following Demond on FB. It’s good to have Godly inspiration in my feed.
Wonderful interview! Far more interesting and informative than the Comedy Hype interview.
This is the BEST interview, I have learned a lot. I'm so glad I caught this interview, things you mentioned, I have been saying regarding Us here in America! I have got to get your book!!!! Thank you for making it PLAIN! Mr. Wilson. May God continue to Bless you and Family!
Great interview. Always been a fan of Demond Wilson. I will buy his books. I still look at Sanford & Son.❤❤❤❤❤
Outstanding and enjoyable interview. Very informative and excellent flow. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more videos
This was a great interview! I always loved Demond! I love what he is saying. We need more MEN like him!
Left her at the restaurant - Love it!
Mr Wilson telling it like it is!!!!!!!
I like this interview a lot. Much respect to Mr. Demond Wilson.
Great chemistry with Red
This man is speaking TRUTH!!! Wow !
Great man of God stays true to his call
It's always good to see the Great Demond Wilson people need to listen he was from a wayyy different time a time when bLk people were black unapologetically....RIP Redd Foxx the icon of comedy
AlanToler, Sanford and Son was funny, entertaining, lovable and Fred insulted white people, Asian, Puerto Ricans, very specific.
Love this man!!
Amazing interview and VERY UPLIFTING!!!!
This is sounding like a great show so far 😊!!!
Demond is a wise man. I would love to pick his brain. Great interview!
