Redd Foxx was so loyal to people who helped him out that believe it or NOT, ALL the people who were in this segment, Jack Carter, Kitty Lester and host John Barbour ALL appeared on episodes of Sanford And Son!!!!
You’re 100% right. Thank u for mentioning that. He put a lot of people on. People that Hollywood forgot, dismissed or never got a break, Redd brought them in and gave them bit parts on “Sanford and Son”.
Redd Foxx was a treasure. Not simply for the African-American community. He was a treasure for all of us who enjoyed the art of comedy, of quality entertainment itself. We should all be grateful someone made the effort of paving the way. Comedy is what it is today because of visionaries like Foxx, Pryor, and Carlin. They were the pioneers. But not just Foxxy here. So is Barbour. He himself was one of the founding fathers of reality television. His Emmys and his Golden Mike speak for themselves. He's not just a news man--he's a comedian too. He also won honors for his JFK documentary. Barbour seems to have done it all. A force to be reckoned with. The man is... dangerous... A force to be reckoned with. Take heed...
Red made a interesting point about the host commentary about black militant groups by his response. That he would buy the buildings where they held meetings as well as the white militant groups. Genius.
After razing both, he would build Union 76 gas stations in their place. LoL ,that was back when the leading climate experts were warning of the impending ice age.
How did Spike Lee fail to include these stories in 92 🤦🏾♂️ We need a new Malcolm x movie, not that spike did a bad job, but the Earl Little to Detroit Red story needs to told!!!
i know what you mean, but spike's movie was still 3 hours & 20 minutes ...... he could not have possibly put in everything, plus i am sure, he had to get clearance from Malcolm's family as well.
According to Wikipedia, John Barbour got his first talk show in 1971 - shortly before SANFORD & SON started. Redd had appeared on the Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin shows as early as 1965, and done a lot of other TV besides. He'd even done his "before it gets ripe" joke on Merv's show (there used to be a clip of that on RUclips - seems to be gone now), and Barbour is very obviously setting it up here, so... not exactly an "ad lib"! By the way, is that Jerry Hubbard (Fred Willard) introducing the show?
Jack Carter (actor/comedian) and Ketty Lester (singer/actress. She was on an episode of S & S called The Infernal Triangle, where she played Judy, a younger woman that Fred got engaged to).
Malcolm X in his autobiography said "Chicago Red was the funniest dishwasher on this earth."
1:58........GREATEST OFF THA CUFF ANSWER I HAVE EVA HEARD!!!!!!!

Came here from the podcast “Tin Foil Hat” that had John Barbour on it. I see now why Johnny Carson hated John Barbour.
There werent' many people Johnny Carson DID like.

Wow CODY, you really FACT-CHECKED that other person!

My man
Ahh, the good ole days when everybody was openly racist.
Have great day Mr Kenneth..
Where was the racist comment? Sammy Davis was also Jewish. Aren't he and Redd the same race?
@@pianoblack5885 "Why is money green?"
GENIUS!!!!
John Barbour was one of the hosts of "Real People", an early reality tv show.
I created it
@@JohnBarboursWorldOfficial Awesome, a wonderful show!
Green power baby lol slick
Redd Foxx! Who were the other guests?
Jack Carter (actor/comedian) and Ketty Lester (singer/actress. She was on an episode of S & S called The Infernal Triangle, where she played Judy, a younger woman that Fred got engaged to).
The way the host was poking and prodding, I wonder what he was looking for...... he definitely wasn't smart enough to BAIT Ole Redd.......😅😮😅😅😅😅..
Iconic
