    I was mesmerized by the interview because I knew his Father very well. We met in New York when his Dad was 18 years old. We were both working at the New York Playboy club and became good friends. He then came to Chicago where I lived at the time and we spent some good times together and some interesting conversations on many nights just hanging out. We later hooked up on the west coast at the Comedy Store and the Improv and again had some interesting moments. I hadn't thought about Freddie in awhile and watching this interview almost brought me to tears because all I kept thinking was how much I wish Freddie would know what an intelligent, talented and good man his son turned out to be.

      He’d be so proud of his son for sure! From his first movies that he did, to also getting that Scooby Doo gig, and working with George Lopez. I’m sure Sr. would’ve been so supportive of his son. Wish his dad was still here. Hard to believe that Freddie Jr is now over twice his dads eternal age

      Really nice to see what kind of man Freddie Jr. is. He seems like a level dude to me. And I think it is even nicer, that you, Mr. Tom Dreesen, one of the most famous stand-ups ever, would take the time to comment and share with us and Freddie. Thank you.

      Yes I know how you are! Your a super talented man yourself! I was such a fan of Freddie’s as a kid. I was so sad when he passed.

      Apparently Freddie Sr was so excited about becoming a father ❤ did he ever talk about it with you?? And did you ever know Kathy?

    I was 15 in 1975 and loved this guy, he was funny but humble and kind, his TV show was popular, then his death, that really effected me, deep in my psyche, it's strange, I still carry that memory of WHY?

    Freddie has been through it. But, wow, he's really built a beautiful life for himself. His dad would be extremely proud.

    Damn i just stumbled upon Chico and the Man today and the first 20 minutes had me smiling, wish I never found out what happened to Freddie

    He didn’t know his dad at all. It’s really sad he didn’t get the chance to

      Literally ten months old when he died. Horrible.

    Important convo, thanks. More of us need to share like this. "30 Days to Overcome Suicidal Thoughts" by Daniels is a simple mindfulness book if anyone needs the help. A lot of guys suffer in silence, a lot of our fathers have also.

    Alan Parker's "Fame" (1980) was recently inducted into the Library Of Congress in 2024 as "an artistically and culturally important" film. Nominated for six Academy Awards and winner of two Oscars, the core of the film centers around the character of Raul Garcia, a gifted and troubled young Hispanic teenager from the South Bronx ghetto aspiring to be a stand-up comedian, and going into the same downward spiral as his fallen idol Freddie Prinze. It was essentially a fictionalized "roman a clef" portrait of the then-recent Prinze tragedy,, and it remains to this day a relevant and undimmed cautionary tale about Hollywood, the young, and the dark underside of "The American Dream", with a powerful performance at its center (Barry Miller) that garnered the lion's share of the film's critical acclaim.

    Was a good interview but dont like all the swearing. Dont need the crappy language to express your thoughts. And that one part about AF was totally unecessary. The rest was interesting.

    Freddie Prinze Jr. Discussing his raising and dealings with his Father's Death was one Thing! Richard Pryor's Perverted MS Joke Story towards Annette Funicello Repeat Told by Prinze Jr. was Totally Disgusting and A Big Take-A-Way!

    • @RayPointerChannel

      Agreed. The MS joke was not in any way funny. In fact, in other circumstances, a "joke" like that would merit a sexual harassment charge.

    He looks nothing like his father..

      I couldn’t even believe that was his father at first

      He resembles his mother, very handsome man still.

      Get glasses dear. He's definitely his father's son

      I noticed that, too. The upside is that no one will stop him on the street for looking like Freddie Prinz, because he doesn't.
