UA-cam has episodes
That dude deserves a lot of credit
Facts 100
OMG. This is 61 y’all. Black don’t crack. The most underrated genius comedian ever ever ever ever. Lord why why why why why why did this brother not get his just due? I’m so glad I’m from a certain generation where talent was for real and we witnessed real funny creative geniuses like Robert and Keenan. I even remember his very short lived variety late night show where he sang with Luther Vandross. 😢😢 He can saaaannnng too! Today it’s Kevin? Tiffany? Whaaaaat? Oh my goodness 😐No comparison. Just Sayin... no comparison. That all.
Wow! I remember his show!! Thought I was the only one
Kamia Funchess IKR 🙌🏽
No comparison, at all
@@kamiafunchess2126 that was my show, especially when I was 12
Robert Townsend and Keenen Ivory Wayans should be working a lot more than they do now,and should be given some credit for opening the door for these black filmmakers that are having so much success right now.
Hollywood Shuffle is a classic.
Tyler Ross Definitely
Tyler Ross Hell yeah Curl Curl do the jheri curl and the zombie pimps scene classic.
Remember those days.....true childhood
That was my joint..
Absolutely a f****** classic
Meteor Man👑💪🏾
He's a legend in our community. Definitely an OG hustler

He need some Netflix series and movies
Robert Townsend is a great talent. The Five Heartbeats movie will last forever!!!!!!
Robert Townsend the man that doesn’t age.
Quiet as it’s kept, Robert Townsend is a bonafide pioneer in African American film & television. He broke real ground in independent media.
FACTS!
And black films are older than the
Term "African American" scratch the out your hair
Eddie King Jr. is one of the greatest movie characters of all times. “Yang...nights like this Iy-iy-iy wish that raindrops would fa-ah-ah-ah-all!”
...he needs to do a one month theater release. There would probably be more to see it now, than originally!
YES U WAS EDDIE😂😂😂😂
*Eddie King.
Eddie CAINE
@@PlayaflyJoe27 I remember watching Monique's talk show on BET, Robert Townshend, Michael Wright (who played Eddie and is British) Leon and Tico Wells (choir boy) were on. Michael Wright confirmed that the name of the character was Eddie King Jr. (Can't nobody sang like Eddie Kang).
Yeah, Eddie Kane was the truth
Happy Birthday Robert Townsend! You are one of my favorite actors! Thank you!!!
One of the most underrated legends in the industry hands down
As a Young Director working Independently, I really need this interview. Thank you!
I hope you shine

We love you Mr. Robert Townsend thanks so much for your positive influence in our community keep shining the light me and my wife and kids watch you every evening on The Parenthood Show God bless!
A real living legend
Robert looks good!
Jackie Wilson was the singer that got hung out the window, he sung that song "To Be Loved" Eddie Murphy was singing in 'Coming to America.' My dad told me about that when I was a kid.
dawb86 wow!
Townsend needs to write, produce, and direct a bio-pic about Jackie Wilson. That would be amazing!!
It was actor Roy Fegan who played Bird in the movie that waa hung out the window in the scene. Jackie Wilson the singer was dead before the movie came out.
DivineLegacy09 Yes, I know. Robert Townsend got the story from the group The Dells (Oh What a Night, Stay in My Corner) while writing the script, who told him about that REALLY happening to Jackie Wilson. 😕
dawb86 understood. your statement made it sound like it was him in the movie. I interrupted it differently.
Yes!!!
Awesome just Awesome.
One of my favorite movies

I dead ass thought that they were interviewing a young poet until I read the thumbnail
He's definitely aged since I was a child when the five heartbeats came out. But he's aged very well
He's found the 'Fountain of Youth'!!!!!!
THE PARENT HOOD IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS.
He hasn't aged.

MR TOWNSEND
WORD UP SWAY'S UNIVERSE !
This dude literally paved the way , keenan, spike, singleton them my guys, but rob is who i relate to the most. Its just something about him. He kick doors, and genuinely used those opportunities to entertain, inspire, make ppl laugh, teach, and give back....i just came off a 2day binge of parenthood. Im on season 3 /Episode 1. Now note......... im 32 born in april of 1991 i grew up watching all his work from tv to movies......
But go back and and carefully watch parenthood and look at how many actors /veteran child actors appeared in the series.from A mid 1990s esther all the way down to hakeem from moesha, zack the black dancing first black power ranger..(say that 10x😅) down to pre moesha marcus t.paulk and pre dr.dollite Kyla Pratt.....i used to be in love wit her as a kid lol...but thats what it comes down to. Planting the seeds...!!
This is a very good guest and interview. 2 Thumbs UP!!!
Robert looks better as he get older. I remember he had an early role in "Cooley High".
Hey Mr. Townsend! I love your work...a living legend behind and in front of the camera! When my kids were younger, they used to watch The Five Heartbeats daily on VHS and knew the lines, lbvs! Continued blessings! :-)
Do y’all remember the bold the black and the beautiful from Robert Townsend’s HBO specials? That 💩💩 was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
It's funny how I was just thinking about that show but the skit with Robert and Keenan playing Prince and Michael Jackson as cops.
JAHDUBProductions 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Too funny. I wonder where can I watch this now?
@@JAHDUBProductions I was showing rock cops and the bold , the black and the beautiful to my 17 year old last week.
I'd pay good money for the complete Robert Townsend and his Partners in Crime on blu-ray!
@@mediamainenetwork that would be a good watch right now.
5 Heartbeats definitely in my top 10...Respect!
