Jason Weaver is so underrated. From _The Jacksons_ to _Lion King_ to _Smart Guy_ to _Drumline_ to _ATL_ and he had a music career?! Salute to the real OG.
David Richardson facts
Facts he's too dope and he should be on that b2k tour with chingy and pretty ricky.

Yes facts!
I ain't getting on no plain✈️✈️😭1992 good memories😃😌👍
Jason Weaver is a very underrated black icon.
Facts
Right
Jason Weaver was my first celebrity crush. 😍😍😘 I love him as an actor and a singer. He is truly talented. He kept himself together too.
I was in love with him as a teen also!!! Sing, dance and act!!! He looks the same bruh!!!
I just knew if I saw him in something it was going to be good. You know how there were a few child actors that you just knew you were gonna like whatever show they were in?
Nubian Tee mine too!
Me too!! I have the love ambition album cassette tape and still rock it till this day!! #PrettyBrown
Yes
See how great your memory can be when you don't spend your teens and 20s doing coke, drinking and partying out of control
Man I NEVER heard anything bad about him
I know right! And you see underrated (i.e. not in the spot light all the time) he is because he lives a good, stable life.
I'm so glad he didn't go down that road!
😏😏😏🌬️🔥
RIGHT
"I'm sorry, I'm ovulating right now," is officially my new pick-up line.
Lol
Yes!! 😂 BLOOP!!
He is still so fine, he would make you ovulate even if you weren’t ffs
You wanna be a single mother?
He know what time it is
Two minutes in and I'm wondering if I should just exit the video and leave them to it. Starting to feel like a third wheel up in here!!!
NomadiqGentz For Real! I’m feeling all awkward
Lol
She was soooo smitten 🤣🤣
lol right? I keep scrolling down so I don't have to look lol
NomadiqGentz LoL
He really is underrated as a entertainer
You heard him,he said he was always humble,sadly being too humble gets you overlooked often times.
Love him!!!!!
“I’ll cut this interview short” Why do I believe her. Lmaooo
Lmao!!!!
Jason’s memory is magnificent! How he remembers all of the details from nearly 30 years ago is truly impressive. Intelligent and talented brother. And I hope he shot his shot with Tracy afterwards for the culture!
hes only in his 40s lol
He still sounds like a kid, how about Netflix put him in something instead of just interviewing him.
If they do, I'll watch it so fast
I don’t think a 40 year old man wants to play a kid 😆
Right...tylerrrrrrrr,book k
Jason!!!!!!!!!
What About Right!
Please. I hope this leads to it.
Look at little MJ all grown up. Lol Jason Weaver is a whole legend and folks don't even know. Where's his Unsung episode.
Omg,yes!!!!DAMMIT,HE NEEEEEEDS ONE
He kinda looked like MJ the Motown years
This was a great date, I mean interview. But seriously, this was golden. This is such a dope concept.
Terrance Thomas 😂😂
Terrance Thomas LoL
Frfr ✊🏾
Terrance Thomas 😂😂 yesss
@Morning Glory95 she want it lol especially if a girl tells you that
If you don't know Suzanne de Passe then you don't read credits...because she has had ALL of them!
kjdnyhmghfvb 💯% facts !
Yes she has worked with so many
so true
Deadass learned about her watching The Jackson's: An American Dream as a kid when it premiered....Vanessa Williams was cast as her in the film for TV. Saw her damn name on everything that was black and popping in TV after that lol.
@@retrokidbk83 and before. she was the main reason Motown Productions thrived the way it did. She booked everyone for Motown 25 (edit: INCLUDING MJ and her brothers after they told her no several times).
What happened to the guy that played his dad on smart guy, we talk about uncle phil, and carl winslow that dude was a great tv dad as well
Currently watching the new season of Grace & Frankie and he's guest star in one of the episodes. ☺️
@@lilkay20202002 i will have to check it out
John Marshall Jones, he's on a show called "IN THE CUT" with Dorian Wilson, Ken L (Both from The Parkers, it's produced by Bentley Kyle Evans) on BounceTV for 5 seasons, check it out.
Yesss!!!
He was also in " Hart of Dixie" so I've seen him in some great roles
Bruh my ninja Marcus from smart guy. Missed this guy. 🤟🏾
Thea
kimberly harris is
Come
He’s forever a cutie and a Black legend indeed.
Every time I see him I think of the song "I'm going to Kansas City"!!
Me too, I sing that all the time!😂
Lmao i was just singing tht
Hahahaha
"Whhooooo!"
Once a week I sing that lol that is crazy!
39 but still looking 17
Lamine Diallo He does!💯
3/13/19
I'm looking at his hairline with pure envy & jealousy!😡🤣😡
Black doesn't crack!
Ok 17 is a huge stretch lol..More like 32
He looks 32 but, he still sounds 17. His voice hasn’t changed since Smart Guy. Lol
I almost cried when he finally found out he got the part as MJ and said his mom yelled, “You got it!”
I am not ashamed to say that I have been tearing up while watching this. I loveeeee Jason Weaver. It's so good to see him being recognized for all that he has done since he was a kid. He deserves so much for what he has brought to the culture
Tracy is all of us who crushed on Jason.. he is still my dream bf in my head lmao this was such a great interview!
One of Chicago's best!! He deserves all the recognition! 😎💐
Chi Town's finest, I see how all the men have those distinctive tones in their voices.
Yep! He's from my neighborhood! I remember taking a field trip to a pop black culture history museum in elementary school during Black History Month and Jason Weaver was featured.
Him in *One call away* with Chingy 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 LAWD
Classic
Yes!!!
I was SWEATING him then honey
Yes,had it as a ring tone
The flirting was cute at first, but it got to the point where everything she asked was just overly flirtatious. He even made the comment about being professional and she was still trying. He was slightly flirting, but I think he was just being nice...overall, he basically interviewed hisself and I loved it. Loved the Michael audition story!
Exactly! Ugh she was doin too much
In one month, Smart Guy celebrates it's 22nd Anniversary and Sister Sister celebrates their 25th Anniversary as well. Get Ready to celebrate in April
Man. I'm turning 26 on April and I feel old and I'm not even old. LoL 😂
@@nehsangbong7259 lol
Bet and tvone needs to have reruns marathons !
@@nehsangbong7259 me too! The 23, We the OG millennials!!!
Celebrate? Man that made me feel old asf
It’s about time he gets the recognition!
Right
I can’t stop smiling. He’s so nice
Omg! 80s babies stand up! This man was one of my first crushes. 💞
Yesss fellow 80’s baby over here I loved me some Jason Weaver he was definitely one of my crushes in the 90’s
"I'm goin to kansas city... kansas city here I come woo" *fierce face*
@Anthony Morrison huh?
😂😂😂 Kansas City here I come!!!
“I didn’t come to LA to play Randy Jackson” 😂😂😂😂 love Randy but that was so funny
Jason Weaver "Love Ambition" was and still is an underrated great R&B love song
Yes Sir! Facts in 2019!❤
Let me go check that out!
and that Stay With Me EP tho!
1 of my favorite songs
The talented Rahsaan Patterson wrote "Love Ambition"
Jason Weaver has the same voice since the smart guy days lol homie a legend
hes 39 ? wow, we just be poppin huh
He 40 now fine as he wanna be🤗
We keeps it together
@@Thankfulforairinmylungs We really do, huh...
Less than 60 seconds in and she's already let him know her body is ready for child baring, "I'm ovulating right now" 😂😂😂
Life is short sir!!!!
@@Nlrsuperstar bruh 😂 💀
😂😭😂😭
Ikr😂🤣
That's a new definition of shooting your shot she basically did a free throw line dunk with that.
I had no idea that ATL storyline between Lauren London and T.I was the story of how TBoz and Dallas met in real life. Jason dropping a lot of knowledge here!
😱I didn't know either!! #Funfacts
Me either!
He sure Freaking straight did
You mean Chili not TBoz
@@Danny-cg6ro Lauren London's character was based on TBoz though. In real life, Dallas and TBoz didn't have a romantic relationship - just professional. Like , as you said, the romantic relationship was between Chili and Dallas.
Jason Weaver has a great personality. He's naturally funny and good natured. I am happy he is continuing acting and singing I think he has what it takes to be a leading man if given the right role.
A real legend. He doesn't get enough credit. I've been watching him on television since I was a kid even though he's been in the industry before I was born and his talent amazes me. Sing, act dance, I mean he's an example of a good entertainer. I remember that episode of Smart Guy with Beyoncé. LoL 😂 When his character got mad at Usher for sitting near her at an award show. I even remember my cousin seeing the scene where Marcus takes Beyoncé to prom, and he's like, if only that could happen in real life with me 😂. I miss those days 😭
You are so right. From the smart guy...to coach Carter
Marcus Marcusssssss.
I’m so happy he’s featured on this. He deserves all the flowers 💐💐💐💐💐
Jason Weaver is just one Big SWOON. I ADORE him. I SO felt her reaction when he walked in the room. Hes is without a doubt a Legend. Straight up
He has the best energy ... super positive... You can tell he’s genuine
Yo, Who seen SummerSwitch back in the 90s! When he switched places with the preppy white kid from boy meets world! Jason Weaver never gets the props.
Just watched this movie on RUclips! He’s been dope for forever!
Yes... that was a fantastic movie.
listennnnn - this interview makes me feel like I'm watching a date lol it's SOOO GOOD!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m really blown that he was hand picked by Michael Jackson 👀😱
Not surprised
He played tf outta the role!!!
So was he lol
He nailed it he was awesome
he had them notes tho..
I can't believe Jason had to fight for his name to be featured on "One Call Away"
Wow
😔
The best interview that I've seen by accident. The brother is a wonderful soul and it shines through. Glad y'all did this interview. This man deserves his flowers. Can we get a Robert Townsend interview next?
Jason Weaver tho, those of us who grew up in the 90s and 00s. this is dope. Love this dude and Love ambition is a gem.
I know how she feels. He's a whole Legend. So underrated. I really hope he gets his flowers for real one day💐💐💐🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
JEROME!!!! He was my big time crush growing up. I watched Thea religiously.
Damn Dani...if he saw you, you might have a chance
He aged like a fine wine! Seriously, I grew up with his work and can not deny his talent. He is so underrated! Plus, he is a July baby!!!
Thank you for shining a spotlight on these legends.
Jason Weaver....your humility is admirable. Thank you for blessing us with your music and acting and Best of luck with the rest of your career.
I used to watch Thea and smart guy and of course the lion king. He is so hansom
I'm smiling ear to ear like he is my son! This is when you want GREAT things to happen to AWESOME people! And I'm loving all the comments that he was a crush for many.
Had an Opportunity to meet Jason Weaver 5 Years ago and was shocked with how cool & Humble Dude was. I wanted to be just like Him when I was in Middle School esp when He was playing Marcus on Smart Guy. Underrated young Legend.
All lightness aside, he dropped some heavy jewels in this interview. It's so great to see someone that i grew up seeing, crushing on, etc and still be here with growth! When he said, "You not gonna be blessed with something until you are ready to receive the blessing" that resonated with me
He is an inspiration.. and props to his mom. 😎💕😁Confidence is the key trait to have..
He’s so worthy of all of his accomplishments! I stan for you, King.
He is so underrated! He def deserves his flowers man!!! Glad people are starting to give him the recognition he def deserves!
I love how Tracy falls apart every time he flirts.
Me too! They have great chemistry.
I know Suzanne De passe.. She was a the queen of producing Black sitcoms in the 90's shouts out to her.
The CHEMISTRY!! That’s what makes a GREAT interview! I love Jason Weaver. He’s so underrated and looks good for his age!! 😍😍😍
This was perfection for a thousand reasons. Firstly, Jason was my first celebrity crush. Secondly, he is telling behind-the-scene stories about my childhood memories, he talked about my favorite singer in the world (specifically the moment I fell in love with her on Thea), AND on top of all of that, he talks about my alma mater FAMU's marching band. Best interview ever!!!
Oh wow.....what a humble, refreshing, chocolate scented breath of fresh air!!! Jason seems to be a really cool dude, a class act for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. This is a great idea for a show. Btw...his skin, though....flawless😎
He is still fine 😍 I've loved him since I was a child 💜
@Anthony Morrison 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
@Anthony Morrison bruh
Jason Weaver is a LEGEND!!
Hes fineeeeee.. smart and very thankful. God bless him and his career. He is a talented man who is leading by example
Never knew "Mike" picked him his self! Thats INCREDIBLE yo! My guy really a LIVING LEGEND! He should be getting all the accolades WHILE HE ALIVE! 💪💯
I forgot all the work he's done over the years, AWESOME CAREER, HATS OFF TO YOU JASON!!! You never hear anything negative around him or his career.
That's Simba's singing voice right there!
My main man Jason Weaver finally get his props.Much respect due.
This was a legendary interview! Jason has such a great spirit.
So beautiful he’s being honored. He definitely put in tons of work!
I'm such a Tracy Clayton groupie! I never would've thought to pick Jason Weaver for this show, but I'm SO glad that you guys did!!
What exactly does she do so special lol. She just interviewing him. Could've been anybody. But yea it was a dope interview.
@@brotherLee340 not just anybody imagine Angela Yee interviewing him instead. She brings a good vibe, she does her job well
This interview was so good. Loved everything about it. Jason is so humble and down to earth.
I got distracted so many times and went down so many rabbit holes watching all the amazing things he’s done in his career! I grew up on Jason Weaver! This was amazing!
Jason Weaverrrr!! This dude is a vet in the game ❤
He didn't surprise me at all. I could always tell he was one of the sensible ones in the game. Oh...that jacket is 🔥 tho. I need one
They might as well date lol. This interview was very good 😂
I’m confused at the thumbs down on here 🙄 anywayssss WE LOVE YOU JASONNNNN ! 🥰
Haters
Very humble, nice, and intelligent dude.... Always thought he was underrated... And his mother was awesome.... She peeped him on game hence him walking away from projects happy.. great Interview
Is his mom an actor?
@@anonymoustrucker1782 I believed his mother was in the music business he mentioned it on another interview
THIS WAS TOO CUTE skdksjshdh i was gushing and blushing the whole way thru.
This man said ‘well your making MY world a better place’ sksjsjs
Anyone else feel like we are intruding on their date! hahah Please update us on y'all's relationship :) I love this so much.Always give people their flowers why they can still smell them! Jason Weaver DESERVES!
Whew Jason Weaver was most definitely one of my celeb crushes and he is still a cutie.
I want to see/hear more from him. I really enjoyed this interview and how open his is about his life/career. They also have great chemistry, so the conversation flowed without her having to ask many questions. She is a superb interviewer.
I love how Tracy doesn't correct him when he mixes up Kappa letters while talking about black greek life. She just giggles to herself and its soo cute! Rewatching this makes me miss another round so much so I'll probably be revisiting my all time favorite podcast soon.
I am 48yrs old and have always appreciated and adored Mr. Jason Weaver's talent ans artistry. Your voice and look has always moved me in such a profound way. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing!
Seeing him get flowers is so amazing. He seemed to be everywhere when I was growing up. Nice to know he's still doing it.
He looks the same as back in the day. I loved him and he is so underrated .
Much love to Jason Weaver. Very well-spoken, intelligent man. I wish Tracy would've asked more important questions rather than treat this interview like a date.
Or she could just let him talk! She is inappropriate and getting on my nerves!
Jason Weaver is too real! Great show, phenomenal platform for people like him to have a voice and an audience. And even without being involved on the latest Lion King iteration, all the buzz about it will lead the fans here.
This literally just popped up on my newsfeed. I've never heard of this show, but can already tell it's special. Tracy seems to have an electrifying personality 🙂🤗
I can tell she knows how to keep a man too. She seems confident enough with herself, that she can share it with another being (a black man at that) 😉☺
I'll be watching the rest of this & more later. Strong black lead has a new follower 😎 & it's great to see this brotha still rising & making an impact for our culture ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
That MJ audition story was DELIGHTFUL; I can’t wait to see his new shows/projects!
Omg... I love Jason... he doesn’t get the credit he deserves
This was soooo enlightening and inspiring!!!! Jason you haven’t aged a bit! Much success to you sir!!!💪🏾👏🏾💕
I’m 34yrs old “love ambition”!!, “Stay with me” His voice on “one call away” with Chingy 😩 yes! Still in my playlist... Grew up watching this man like everyone else.. & his presence to make you smile watching still hasn’t changed.. Also enjoyed Tracy reaction and vibes with Jason. Soon as he spoke on the Dan Ryan, 71st Michigan, Dolton, Thornwood! 🤣.. I’m like yeah!!! The Chi!
*Stay safe everyone*
Everything she is saying is exactly what I would say 😩😩 I’m cheesing and I’m at home watching! Omg I love him!! This is awesome
I still listen to "Love Ambition" on a regular basis❤.
Latonya Wilson that song is so gooooood! stays in rotation ❤️❤️❤️
I damn sure do 😩🤣🤣
Best young Michael Jackson ever
This was a refreshing interview! I grew up loving Jason Weaver and I still do. You're such an amazing professional, great speaker, and seem to be an all around laid back person. Im so glad Netflix did this interview! Great job!!
