Garrett Morris and his stories would’ve been perfect for the Chapelle Show skits back in the day. Always been a character for so many decades; I know his behind the scenes stories are legendary.
Garrett Morris. I grew up knowing him as Martin’s boss on Martin. But man, he’s had an impressive career. Little known fact about Morris, he was the first man to portray Marvel’s Ant Man in television during his run on SNL.
@@josephc28 I remember Sporty James. He was mad funny. I enjoyed how his character brought on some comic relief on Hunter and all the trouble he got into.
@CB.PUNISHER.1900 ...wow. Such rich irony in you calling out racists while sounding like one. The KKK taught you well, they’re the ones who’s all about “Jews aren’t white like us!” but the truth is, there are white Jews, and there are dark skinned Jews too. Move along with your “protecting whiteness” bullshit
Thank you for posing this video. There was a time when I was wondering why I didn't see more of the talented Mr. Morris, and now I know what happened. I saddens me that Mr. Morris wasn't one of the Blues Brothers. He is a great singer, and would have been perfect in that role.
The manager he's talking about is Bernie Brillstein. He managed most of the people on Saturday Night Live. I kind of got the impression that Bernie was a racist from his bio when he talked about how Eddie Murphy wasn't really impressive after his tenure on SNL. How ridiculous is that?
Thanks for reminding me about that movie....seen it many times, and I forgot Mr. Morris was cast in that movie....Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and Glynn Turman dominated that movie, so Garrett's role kinda disappeared, nevertheless, quite talented.

I have nothing against jews but I've never seen one human treat another human so badly until I saw a rich Jewish man yelling at everyone including me on a construction site he was totally out of line and made no sense on why he was screaming at everyone I have the only one to stand up to him I even quit my job on the spot there's no amount of money that will justify me subjecting myself to wrongful treatment

He is remembered for producing successful TV programs like Hee Haw, The Muppet Show, and The Sopranos, and hit films including The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters and Happy Gilmore. Source Wiki

John Adam Belushi (/bəˈluːʃi/; January 24, 1949 - March 5, 1982) was an American comedian, actor, and musician. He was one of the seven original cast members of the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL). Throughout his career, Belushi had a personal and artistic partnership with his fellow SNL star Dan Aykroyd, whom he met while they were both working at Chicago's Second City comedy club. Born in Chicago to Albanian-American parents, Belushi started his own comedy troupe with Tino Insana and Steve Beshekas, called "The West Compass Trio". After being discovered by Bernard Sahlins, he performed with The Second City and met Aykroyd, Brian Doyle-Murray, and Harold Ramis. In 1975 Chevy Chase and Michael O'Donoghue recommended Belushi to SNL creator and showrunner Lorne Michaels, who accepted him as a new cast member of the show after an audition. Belushi developed a series of characters on the show that reached great success, including his performances as Henry Kissinger and Ludwig van Beethoven. After his breakout film role as Bluto in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), Belushi appeared in films such as 1941, The Blues Brothers, and Neighbors. He also pursued interests in music: with Aykroyd, Lou Marini, Tom Malone, Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Paul Shaffer, he founded The Blues Brothers, which led to the film of the same name. Belushi struggled with heavy drug abuse that threatened his comedy career; more than once, he was dismissed from SNL due to his behavior (and then rehired). In 1982, he died from combined drug intoxication at the age of 33, after a drug dealer, Cathy Smith, injected him with a mixture of heroin and cocaine (known as a speedball) at the Chateau Marmont. He was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004. Source Wiki
So that’s probably why Garrett Morris’ career never took off in a major way. Now I wonder since he made this revelation will they attach the antisemitism label on him?
Not entirely. Garrett had a serious coke problem. Mind you, he was partying with Belushi and you know how Belushi ended up. Garrett was for a lack of a better word....a token on snl. He signed up to originally be a writer but they felt his sketches were up to par. Richard Pryor brought his own writers ( Paul mooney) to SNL cuz he thought Garrett was a token. Eddie Murphy said when he got to SNL , he was careful not to be " Garret Morris" on the show. Murphy almost lost " 48 Hours" cuz Nick Nolte heard through a 3rd Party that the " black guy " from SNL was an addict so Nich was gonna do the movie until it was cleared up that Murphy and Garrett were 2 different people. Garret had drug issues throughout his career even when on Martin. That's how he got fired. That burglary may have been drug related.
@@blackturkdog Belushi's problems were of his own. Now could he have thrown Morris under the bus? I dunno. Be that as it may, people in that circle do have a way of twisting or manipulating narratives to fit the situation. As far as Garrett being a "Token" there's no running from that, but look who ran the show and the network? Do you think at that time there were going to have multiple writers or even performers of color, especially Black People? Up until his death, Belushi continued to still get work and his manager and his colleagues knew he was on drugs so that just sounds like hypocrisy to me. Todd Bridges used drugs and gets sober, he barely gets a break. Robert Downey Jr uses drugs and gets sober, IRON MAN. When it comes to Black Talent, if we slip up or if there's a hint of it, that's that. White Talent can have as many chances because look who runs the show?
shawn u need to get at me before u interview these legends, i got shit you can ask these brothers. i wish u would have ask him about vanessa del rio and his relationship

He play in a movie in 1985 called the stuff
Always wondered why he wasn't in the blues brothers. Would've been a stellar addition!
