John Witherspoon Dead

Such a sad day in comedy - one of the funniest guys ever. RIP.

Rest in peace. Loved him in Friday.

Really enjoy him as Craig's Dad in The Friday movies, and Grandad in The Boondocks as well. The reboot of The Boondocks was suppose to come Fall 2020. Wonder if he recorded anything for it or if they hadn’t started yet? Can’t even imagine who’d they get to replace him though.

The man was comedy gold. I remember laughing my ass off when he was in House Party hanging out the window yelling "what the hell is a Public Enema anyway?".

I wonder what this means for Last Friday? Hope it doesn't kill it but he was a big part of the other three.

Great guy. Really good interviewer, especially radio.

I liked him in his Fresh Prince episode as well, very funny guy :(
