Love this man, he had that “Dad”quality about him; he transcends cultures,nationalities, races, and skin color. Rip mr Witherspoon, Thank you for sharing your self with the world.
Funny. I was watching an old Entertainment Tonight video from the set of Friday and he said, "I'm a Black father. I'm a white father. I'm a Mexican father. I'm a Chinese father." He was a father figure for all of us kids in America for the past couple generations.
Man he was a legend and he will be missed and all prayers are within my family and God bless him and his family r I p John Witherspoon love ya sooo much and ya and I was crying when I wrote this I'm a emotional person sooo r I p John Witherspoon we are all praying for you right ? But anyways I hope who's reading this understand what I'm coming from
Thank You, Michael, for this tribute video to John Witherspoon aka Pops. Aka, Granddad. One of my favourite comedians of all time. He will definitely be missed 🙏🏿
I’ve been avoiding this video since it came out. He was truly an inspirational, loving, caring, non selfish person. *John Witherspoon Will Always Be A Legend Fly high Pops* ❤️😭👼🏽
I'm not lying when I say that Pops taught me something that's stuck with me to this day. "These are all the protection we needed... You win some, you lose some. But you live.. you live to fight another day". Thank you, pops. Those simple words have always stuck with me. Rest easy and don't party too hard up in heaven lol.
To think, this is only the beginning. We’re gonna lose more and more legends over time. First Charlie, then Prince, now Pops 😭💔 R.I.P Mr. Witherspoon 🌹🌹
One of my favorite comedian actors ever. Everytime i watched him I would always get that warm nostalgia feeling. Nobody like him. Rest in peace John Witherspoon.
This year has truly hit me with reality and made me realize that time doesn't wait for you. Too many people that I knew around me and grew up watching or listening to passed away this year unexpectedly💔
Marlon referencing the “Pops, Pops, sugar Pops” was golden, I always loved when they did that & Pops would break out dancing, memories like that is why we all love u & will all miss u. RIP Pops 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for putting this together! It’s not often you can smile and laugh a joyous laugh at someone passing. R.I.P. ....to his fam, you are are truly blessed to have lived with a legend.
Pops was Like My Grandad When My Grandpa passed Way They Had so Much in common LOVED Him So Much God Rest His Soul they are Both Talk to one Another in Heaven Willam Driscall And John Witherspoon God Rest Both Their Soul
R.I.P. John Witherspoon, every movie that he played was fantastic, great, enjoyable, and funny with great moments throughout the years. R.I.P. John Witherspoon.
He is a legend & one of the funniest of his time lets not forget.....rip John...Gone but never forgotten!!! Thanks for keeping us entertained for all these years 👍
Sooo many moments from my childhood.... Fresh Prince, House Party, Wayans Bros., Friday/Next Friday/Friday after Next, Soul Train, Boondocks....miss that man 🌹
Demetrias Brooks if anything it’ll be better to have someone who does a close enough impression or a voice double for Mr. Witherspoon. People have done it before, take Makoto “Mako” Iwamatsu. He was the original voice actor for Aku in “Samurai Jack” & Uncle Iroh in the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series. When he passed, his voice double, Greg Baldwin, stepped in & did a close impression. Baldwin even admitted that his voice could never replace that of Mr. Iwamatsu’s, but he did a good job in terms of voice cadence and similarities.
Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo ! Encore ! MORE ! 😀 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. This is one of the best Tributes I've ever seen here on RUclips, Thank You ! & God Bless You ! I really enjoyed this beautiful Video Footage 😀. I hope these future up and coming Actors, Comedians, Artist, Entertainers etc, learn a lot about how to proceed in the entertainment industry with Style, Class, and Wisdom while living in the public eyes. Respect is something earned and being humble, listening, paying attention to the elders before you can take their careers really far and Prosper along the way ! Thank you ! Sir John Witherspoon, you are & always will be A Star that shall always Shine Rest In Paradise ! 😉 😍 👍 💗.
"Taste so good, make you wanna slap yo momma... Hey momma! *slaps mother on her face*" I almost teared up and i don't cry for people that are not my immediate family or have gotten personally close enough into my life, but this man right here was just absolutely something else. Man oh man how i miss you. I really wanted to see you make another friday movie one last time and just like Paul Walker you got taken away before that happened. God bless your soul and help your family get through this. I'm forever grateful that you existed in the entertainment industry and also count my blessings that my amazing father is still here alive and well!
My mom lives with me and my hubby. I tell him "Every time I come in the kitchen, she in the kitchen!" 😂 *Rest easy Pops* Edit: Does anyone else think A.J. Johnson (Ezell) resembles Pops?
He was a good friend to my grandfather back when my grandfather was a reporter. When my grandfather died he showed up at the funeral saying how my grandfather wrote for Red Fox who was his idle. He was a really nice and funny guy that took the time to pay respects to my grandfather. I show him the same respect by doing the same and hoping he Rest In Peace and power, and my heart goes to his family.
For all of the laughs, the unique entertainment,and true knowledge that you've shown us John we love and appreciate you. You will truly be missed and on the same levels of Redd Foxx,Richard Pryor,Robin Harris,and Bernie Mac never in a lifetime will we have another John Witherspoon.. Bang Bang Bang!!!!! Rest Easy..

That would put wayyyyyyyy too much stress and emotional weight on his son plus no offense to his son but his dad has that signature sound
No one can ever replace grandad
