I had dinner once with Paul Rodriguez about 10 years ago. He was one of the most sweetest, most gracious & humble down to earth celebrities I’ve ever met. He even shared his food with me and made sure everyone at the table was comfortable, taken care of and had a great time.
…Definitely not the type that would have deserved Will Smith’s animosity; Will Smith was tripping 100%.
thanks, man!
Much respect for Paul Rodriguez!
Onpoint.
💯

i grew up in texas. mad love between these 2 races is all i saw as a kid. then i got older.
he didn't go full negative on the Cuban. he did point out the good he did in his community so yeah much respect
Just proves that little Willy has always had the emotions of a vieja🤣
Yep 😂...👵
Pinche tinto 😂🤣
Proves he’s racist too..
Bro this is why I LIKE YOU,, You respect the ONE WHO STARTED IT ALL.
I just found the channel. Felipe is next level! Paul Rodriguez is a legend, I hate that they did that to him.
I love Paul Rodriguez!!!! Legendary!
There was a lot of ethnic strife on that set ; hatred of Mexicans from a cuban, back lash from an African American towards a Cuban guy via a Mexican stand in🤨
Amen!
Paul Rodriguez in Whoopi Boys is one of the funniest films ever!
Felipe be looking like Andre the Giant next to the co host.
HIis name is FERDIE not FREDDIE!
You are one of my faves..i still love the Whoopy boys, That shit made me laugh so hard. Karma is a bitch ain’t it Will?
You should definitely have Paul Rodriguez Jr , see what it was like growing up
Tells you a lot about Will Smith, mmmm the universe sent him a huge WAKE UP CALL with that SLAP! He aint untouchable
He is. He can retire and be good. He has had a 35 year career. This guy is a clown who is using Will Smith’s name for clout
Will Fist gets what he deserves. No one should be able to slap another man any where and get away with it. What a loser.
@@malcolmxpanther oh how cute, I bet you support him in slapping Chris for a joke too.
Pls stop using tarots it's not good and goes against our LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. God Bless you and your loved ones and REMEMBER JESUS LOVES YOU GUYS TOO ☝️🙏✝️ I recommend to follow The Catholic Church which is the true Church founded by OUR LORD
@@shable1436 😆 why are you assuming? That’s really weird
It's wonderful for a 68-year-old Mexican-American like myself to see such great talent together. I can remember not to long ago when there were no major mainstream Mexican comedians, and the Mexican culture was looked on as inferior. Comedians like Paul Rodriguez, Felipe Esparza, George Lopez, Fluffy and others have done a lot to make things better for the Mexican-American entertainers coming down the line.
Inferior is the wrong word . Someone with inferiority complex (a victim) would say something like that . Deferent or strange sounds better . The Italians , Irish , Jews etc all had and still get the same treatment . You know what I'm saying .
I have never heard a non-Mexican person refer to Mexican culture as strange or deferent. They sound like words a professor would use to describe an insect species. I don't consider myself a victim and am just stating what I have experienced from growing up in the U.S. as an immigrant from the age of 6. Mainstream cartoons and movies for many years presented most Mexican characters as villains, thieves, bandidos, gardeners and such, from the Frito Bandido to the illiterate, thuggish bandidos saying "We don't need no stinkin' badges" No one disputes that. It has only been in the last 30 years or so that things have started to get much better for Mexican-American talent and that didn't happen as an accident or fate, but has to do with the changing demographics of America. I recognize that other minority groups have been subjected to similar treatment; I was just stating that things have gotten much better for Mexican entertainers over time because of better work conditions.
@@Downey-2000 I doubt that...mexicans were like black people...punish, discriminated, because they were NOT WHITE.
@@tongoxavier I never heard anybody white say that Mexicans are inferior. I think you have a victim mentality.
Maybe I haven't seen enough of the other comedians you mention, but I really dislike George López and the way he perpetuates stereotypes. However, I'm not Mexican American and maybe they're spot-on. I think the same of Mexican comedians who stereotype Mexican culture in Mexico.
If Will Smith did that to me I would have told him to go to hell and jumped on a plane back home.
Then I would have sued him and his company for cutting my lines and making me an extra.
Paul should not take that abuse from nobody........ period.
Don't lose hope Paul. We are rooting for you, to get a part in a movie.
He's ok, he doesn't the vato doesn't no favors... but is cool that you wish him well...
@@karlwalter2242 - If the dearly departed Louie Anderson could get an Emmy nomination for BASKETS that late in his career, Paul Rodriguez could get likewise recognition too. Either way, good vibes and blessings to Mr. Rodriguez. "Come on, Frankenstein, bring your green a** over here."
@@dianapevtsov Diana, Louie Anderson was different though
The G Lopez story
It doesn't surprise me one bit. The way Will and Jada laughed and carried on after the slap it was like it was normal to them. It's highly unlikely Paul and Chris Rock were the only 2 people they treated that way.
I have never been a Will Smith fan, I always got the feeling that all the good guy shit was just an act. How in the hell could a person treat Paul Rodriguez like shit even if you were method acting?!?! The guy is just a class act, it really is a shame that his part got cut up so bad.
According to what Paul Rodriguez said, It was the other dude Ferdinand Pacheco showing up at the set drunk yelling racial slurs at Will Smith that messed it up for him. It was wrong that he took it out on Paul. Prior to that, Paul said that he and Will were cool.
i feel the exact same way. something about the guy always felt off to me
I knew people who worked the set and everyone stated that Will Smith not only had a temper but was one of those “don’t look him in the eye” actors. It’s always been a carefully crafted image to sell movies and tickets.
I feel like you never had that thought a day in your life until the slap and now you say this under several comments. And if you don’t like Fresh Prince, Men in Black, Enemy of the State, I Am Legend, Ali, Bad Boys….then your lost
@@malcolmxpanther that doesnt actually make any sense. you cant tell someone what to like. 😂 secondly, we have been entertained by hundreds of horrible people. roman polanski for example.
FYI: This looks newly uploaded from the original podcast episode. Which was released months ago- way before Oscars/Chris Rock incident). Might want to clarify that to viewers…
Got to meet and chat with Paul Rodriguez in Visalia a week ago. Cool guy and he even signed my 1986 vinyl of his 1st comedy album 👍
Sure.
Are u black?
Well, I guess karma does work.😂 Paul, gave us a great example on what to do in sticky situations- stay calm and speak your peace.
Absolutely, rotten fruit falls by itself no joke
WE 💜 PAUL RODRIGUEZ ! ! !
This was a good fucking episode
Paul Rodriguez, you’re the best!!!
Sorry that this situation happened to Paul. SMH 🤦🏾♂️ He didn’t deserve it at all but glad that he’s telling his side of the story.
To those saying Paul’s only now speaking out about this story- WRONG! He told his story long before the Oscar’s slap. This is just a newly added clip from the original full episode (ruclips.net/video/_ku0P5v4KKg/видео.html) …which was streamed months ago
Yeah I put that in the description but nobody reads that.
@@felipeesparza lol yeah. Pin 📌 my comment to the top! There’s a way to make any comment (or your own comment) the “pinned” comment. Ppl will see it being it’s the first comment everyone sees…so u don’t have to keep repeating yourself
Thank you Paul for sharing you story. Just goes to show Will has been having this attitude for a very long time. Hopefully he will recognize his behavior and correct it.
We love you Paul, always
People like Will Smith never change.
Will is 54 years old, it’s too late to change at this point.
Bro this is Hollywood. People aren’t nice in Hollywood’. It doesn’t go to show bro. This guy is a nobody who is acting like a victim because he didn’t get more airtime in a movie he can easily be replaced with somebody else
@@malcolmxpanther Paul was contracted for a speaking role not as a extra, he should have sued.
Paul was a victim no doubt about it, just like all the women who were abused by
Weinstein. Paul should have spoke up earlier about the abuse.
@@malcolmxpanther Found Will Smith's alt account. Dude is all over the comments defending himself LMAO
I have a lot more respect for Paul Rodriguez after this podcast ✊🏼 ❤️
This is way better than what they posted on inside edition. The media is always one sided to create negativity, we’re all human and everyone has a story.
Those shows always crop up the interview to fit the narrative they want to tell. That's why I like podcasts cause you get it all at once unedited and unfiltered and I can decide how I feel about it rather than being told how to think.
@@LadyDazzleDance you’re right. That other interview was chopped up like crazy. He pulled out a diary and they never expanded on that. This is way better. I agree.
Sorry that happen that’s messed up Paul Rodriguez is good people !! Much respect ✊🏻
The great Paul Rodriguez keep up the good work
And he’s right , money changes people. He was probably intimidated because Paul has awesome Charisma
Will got the first aunt Viv fired he’s always been like that
Why didn't Smith slap Pacheco after he called him a mayate? Oh yeah, cause he's a panocha. Viva La Raza!
For the record, Pacheco wasn't even Mexican so it was even more misplaced for him to target Rodriguez over his Mexican heritage.
Because he didn't talk about his wife's hair.

Much Love to one of our Latino Icons, Legendary Comic and Actor, Paul Rodriguez. ✌️ Been a fan of his for a long time!! He's always kept it real. From a fellow Chicano in Texas USA
Paul is a legend and my hero. He was one of the very few Mexican comedians that DIDN'T sell us out. I used to skip out to watch him at the Rivercenter Comedy Club. Totally worth it. There's talking about our culture in a funny relatable way and there's just "wet back" comedy, which is kinda offensive if done to death. You know, the dumb Mexican tropes. I can take a joke, but take it easy man. Don't make us the punchline all the time, wey. **COUGH George Lopez and Carlos Mencia COUGH**. ANYWAY. I am hurt my hero was abused by Will. I hope more folks he was awful to, come forward and stand tall. Paul and Felipe are the maximo homies. Two good dudes that I only wish the best to. Thank you for speaking up, Paul. And thank you, Felipe. For giving our homie this platform. Ahooooooahhhhhhh cabrones, mantenga se firme hermanos!
According to george lopez, eva longoria, erik estrada and throngs of other mexicans who accuse him of being a selling-out for his stance and criticisms towards mexican illegal aliens who pour across the border and enter the U.S. unabated.
Carlos Mencia isn't even Mexican yet claimed he was and tried to popularize the word "beaner". Don't insult Lopez by comparing the two, and Lopez also brought Latinos to the forefront with his sitcom. Meanwhile Rodriguez has a blindspot when it comes to lack of sympathy for undocumented Mexicans but you have to give him respect for his contributions anyway.
You mean to say a American of Mexican decent right .....
Americana PR ..love that dude from way back ..go watch crossing gang lines with him hosting
Carlos mencia aint mexican
wtf happen here?? A Cuban didn't appreciate a Mexican portraying him. The Cuban was bigoted toward the black guy who bitch slapped Chris Rock, therefore that black guy, was belligerent & disrespectful toward the Mexican, who was portraying the Cuban ...That's just too much ignorance & infantile behavior between grown men
I thought of this after the slap. Have Paul come back to talk about the fall out.
Man that sucks what the actions of others can do to help you up or mess you up. I most definitely believe this role would have opened more doors too bad a racist latino messed it up for another latino and that Will also showed racism by including paul in something he was no part of just because they were both latino. Really Will? We all ain't racist 50% sadly are though lol.
I agree that the Cuban boxing manager was out of line to mess things up for Paul but why is it racist to cast a good actor in a role where he fits the description? That's usually how it works. a Latino character is played by a Latino actor. Benicio del Toro is from Puerto Rico but plays characters from Mexico, Cuba,etc... J.Lo was born in US but plays characters from Mexico. Look how many Australian & British actors are cast in American roles. It would be worse if actors were only allowed to play characters from.the one country they were born.
@@Rose-pl5jj i don't know what you mean i didn't say it was racist to cast a good actor in roles that fit a certain description?? Sorry
Cubans are racist, Pacheco wanted a white cuban to portray him, not meztiso paul rodriguez
Delia Cue- Well said.👍 P. Rod. Did NOT deserve the B.S. from that Bully Will Smith.don't blame Paul for some OTHER mans racist comments.
@@Rose-pl5jj I know what you mean. I am of Mexican decent, but hung around a lot with Cuban’s and Americans of Cuban decent. They would always complain about how an American of Italian decent, could play the role of a Cuban and become one of Hollywood’s most iconic characters of the silver screen. I seen Willem Defoe and Andy Garcia play the role of a Mexican; and it never bothered me or any Mexican born or Chicano person that I knew.
I admire his accent when he speaks Spanish, he sounds like if he lives in my block and I live in Mexico.
The chances of Paul having a career comeback is a "Million to Juan".
hahahahahahaha NO!
Will smith is cray 😜 it’s all coming out now.
Years ago, I met Paul Rodriguez. I think it was a Cinco de Mayo event. He was cool and down to Earth. No ego. 💪👏👍
Paul Rodriguez . What a nice guy. Karma found Will Smith and is making him pay up.
It's crazy how us Latinos can take an L. Shit happen and we just get up and keep on walking
FTP will smith 🤷🏻♂️
“Who wants to have Will Smith as your enemy?!” Will Smith - “Hold my beer”
HA!!! Too funny cuz I’m picturing him doin that! Good one!
Toxic method acting at its finest!
I just saw Paul Rodriguez live stand up in Irvine ca. He was so funny and I loved him. I’m younger never knew he was so cool!! Much respect!!
I love him, I hope he gets a roll that can get him an Oscar, would be very well deserved
"Valen madre" 😆 I love this guy
Great Job Paul, you are a Gentleman, great comedian, much love for you! Will Smith is being exposed for who he really is!
The OG Aunt Vivian tried to tell us this foo way shady
Paul Rodriguez, you are a great talent! So sorry to hear this happened to you.
How can you not love Paul Rodriguez,he is one favorite comedians.
Turns out Freddy Pacheco was right about Will smith.
True
Doesnt surprize me but Dr Ferdie saying the N word did.
We want this entire interview. I see it on Spotify but so much better with video 😁👍
@@Anonymous_one_ good lookin out. Can go watch that instead of spotify. Didnt see the number. Doh. Found it now
F that fool Will Smith!! Don’t treat Paul like that he’s a cool cat.
Wow, that’s Fup. I am very disappointed in my brother will for this.
Speak the truth...thats the way it should be...thx for exposing will smith's narcissism...and toxic family
I guess since will Smith can get mad at Jada , he took it out on you Paul , what a jerk Will Smith is!! God bless you Paul!
Paul! Right on man! LEGENDARY
A million to Juan is one of my favourite movies of all time!!!
WILL SMITH SHOULD GIVE A
" MILLION TO JUAN " 💯
😂😂😂
Will smith is canceled
FOR LIFE
Remember when the mom from Fresh Prince got so much hate. Hmmm maybe she was on to something. In the Fresh Prince Reunion they both admitted their attitudes got the best of them so maybe he's been like this behind the scenes.
Raza power!👏👏
Some of these actors take it to far ! What would we do without entertainment ? There's no excuse for rudeness Talking about God and love one minute then doing the opposite !? Paul Rodriguez, your to be commended for your self control .
Aren't the Smith's scientologists?
Damn tell Felipe to lower his mic.... teach him not to get so close....annoying as f***
Ftp will, paul Rodriguez is the best foo.
Heck yes bro! Check out Paul's movie, "A Million to Juan" 👍
@@Ordell-L-Jackson see it a billion times. Lol but thanks foo.
I met Paul backstage at the Hyatt regency in1985.ricardo montalban was there.paul asked for water they bring him a cup thinking he'd drink it.he dabbed his fingers in it and used the water to slick back his hair on the sides.he was cool and funny
Paul is a freaking legend
Shit like that runs my blood Hott!!!
I love will, but I'm hearing 👂 these bad stories, now that I'm hearing Paul's experience with will... ugh. No good. I'm a Guatemalan person I'll stay with Paul. ALWAYS...
Paul Rodriguez, the funniest comics I had the fortune to watch live. Saw him with Rodney Dangerfield and a few others huge comics at the time and Paul came out on top based on me and the audience.
Whaa Paul played a show with Rodney?!
Respect for Paul Rodriguez 👍🏻🙏🏻👌🏻✨✨✨✨✨🎸🔥
I was trying to link people to this episode lol
Apparently Will is the queen of misplaced aggression.
Paul is just telling the truth about who Will really is.
Good to see all of u last night, awesome show.
Great episode foo
Glad I didn't watch it. I love your acting and your parts would have enriched the movie Mr. Rodriguez.
The best joke writer. All around GOAT
Holy Crap him too! Original Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince can relate. Will Smith pretty much blackballed all those he felt were a threat.
Click up with Eugenio Derbez
I'm not Mexican, but man! I love my Mexican peeps! Paul is the Richard Pryor for the Latinos. It's sad to see the racist posts bashing Paul for speaking up by other You Tubers. I stand by Paul till the end... Orale!
Shout out to Paul!! It's best that he's not associated with Will or the movie Ali. It's the most BORING movie I ever saw in my life!! Made me & my family fall a sleep real quick!! Lol.
Will’s statements are racist…
SHOCKING & DEMEANING.
Maybe Will’s finally learned a lesson: He’s not God.
What's up fool
Paul don't lower yourself to will, if he is not the one to reach out to you to apologize. your better that him, Latino pride
Paul is the best!
I'm an Independent Latino. Will Smith NEEDS to divorce Jada like right NOW.
Much respect. We all know Will be taking it out on other people because of Jada
Stop interrupting him.
Just shows how crazy Will really is🤕
Will probably on roids... At that time..
Respects to el Señor Paul Rodriguez great character!
Actually, who wants to have Will Smith as a friend? Chris was his friend.
Paul was a star way before Will, be nice to all the people on your way up, you'll meet the same people on your way "Down"
Will asked his wife's boyfriend how he likes that used P.. The dude told Will it's pretty good once he gets passed that used part.
