So glad you talked about him. I grew up watching Sanford and Son and Grady was always my favorite character on the show. When you realized Grady was in the episode’s storyline you just knew it was gonna be great.
I absolutely loved this vlog! We used to watch Sanford and Sons when I was a kid and Grady was my favorite! I really appreciate all the work you put into these incredible videos! ❤
You hit a home run here. I'm 53 and I used to LOVE Grady. Wouldn't he have been in his 40's rather than 50's if he was born in 1930? Either way, I wouldn't have guessed he was that young. I loved Aunt Esther too. The characters on that show were so convincing.
Thank you! for sharing this about actor a.k.a Grady. He definitely was one of my favorite actors growing up. His show “Grady” can be watched on Tubi. R.I.P. Whitman Mayo Jr. 🫶🏽
My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are buried at Forest Lawn. I knew "Grady" was also buried there. I just didn't know his grave was that close to my family's. I'll pay respect next time I'm down there. Great blog Jordan!
Good Goody de Goo. One of the greatest catch phrases of all time. My favorite Grady episode is Cousin Emma. She promised them a big breakfast and the next morning she didn't do anything. I like the part when Emma is coming down the stairs walking crooked but she can sit straight.
I LOVED Grady!!!! The lady who played Aunt Ester(Lwanda Page) she & Redd Fox went to school together. When she was trying to get in the business,Redd told her she should be on his new show...and that's how she got on "Sanford & Son".
Sanford and Son was one of my favorite citcom shows growing up in the 70s . Grady also had a small part in the Movie Boyz n Hood. Thanks Jordan for bringing back some old memories from the past.
Thank you for doing this! I saw the picture pop up on this video saying “Grady!” and his picture and I immediately knew who it was! He was great on the show, along with LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther). I watched it as a kid, and my family would just howl laughing at this show! What an amazing man in his personal life, being a counselor. He had the absolute most kindest eyes-he seemed like a sweet and kind man. ❤
I haven't seen any Sanford & Son since they originally aired back in the 70's. I was pretty young, but I remember Grady! I remember laughing belly laughs watching him!! I dont believe I got any of the jokes, but I think I was laughing at my Dad who was laughing at Grady. Thanks for the memories, Jordan! 👍👍 Papaw 🙏
We also had this show on in Australia, back in the day. So many wonderful shows back then.👍 Before today, never knew anything about Whitman apart from that show. Very impressive. The cemetery is stunning also, thanks Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
They did that with a few of the characters! Bubba was Bubba Bexley... played by Don Bexley! Many of the cast were real life friends of Redd Foxx! That's why the chemistry was SOOOOOO GOOD!! Especially with LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther!) I LOVED THIS PIECE!!! Sanford & Son is my 2nd fave show! After Seinfeld! This is a gem!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻
Hello Jordan Grady is buried in the same graveyard as My Dad I found his grave last month and paid My respects to him I met Grady one time at FedEx the girl that works there introduce me to him he was there dropping off a package he was very nice Guy ❤ Jordan me and My Brother follow you and love All your videos 💖 We live here in Atlanta and want to meet you My friend. Thank You again for All your videos
Thanks Jordan. Grady was always my favorite! I remember the salad episode, too priceless! Surprised you didn't mention Sanford was Redd's real name, and Fred was the name of his father and Brother.
This was Great! Man was he funny and such a natural. So cool to hear that he taught acting. What a fun class that must of been. Nice to hear about his son's career as well. Thanks for including some of his scenes for us to watch. Love that you couldn't find anything bad about the man. Grady was our favorite character and we watched him on every show he did. You are so right about his show...it just didn't work. Sad they didn't try to rework it so that his humor could show thru. Thanks Jordan!
Great video! Been binge watching S&S for the last month! "Your'e not gonna keep that extra social security check are you Grady? well no i'm going down to the bank right now and cash it" !!! LOL!
Thank you Jordan! Your show brought back memories of my 4th grade teacher (Mrs. Lord R.IP.) who loved to watch Sanford and Son which is why I started watching it. I am now 64 however it brings back great memories. Do you have any information on Gregory Sierra who played Julio the neighbor who raised goats? If not, no worries. As Bob Hope would say, "thanks for the memories"!
I watched this show so much back when... even over and over in reruns. .. I just stopped watching it. I have recently started re watching it.again after decades ......This is one of the best TV shows ever.....It still blows my mind so funny... always loved Grady....... and the amazing characters
11:09 That’s Lawanda Page a.k.a “Aunt Esther” Ooooh glory! 🤣 Yet Red Foxx did star in a film with Della Reese called “Harlem Nights” along with comedians Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Charlie Murphy, Thomas Ford.
I totally agree! The weed episode was hilarious! Especially how Rolo was trying to get a hold of it too. RIP Whitman ❤
LATIN MEDICINE!
I loved him He was so funny and hilarious on Sanford, thank you Jordan for sharing this video with us.

RIP Grady😢❤...thank you for your service Mr. Mayo. I loved his character on Sanford n Son. Thank you Jordan
Grady was my favorite guy on S&S. I used to look forward to seeing him as a kid.
Thank you! for sharing this about actor a.k.a Grady. He definitely was one of my favorite actors growing up. His show “Grady” can be watched on Tubi. R.I.P. Whitman Mayo Jr. 🫶🏽
LOVED this show and still watch it!!!!! You have the best content!
Mr Mayo is one of the few celebs I've ever met. He was so humble and friendly.
I wonder if he ever played off Aunt Esther. LaWanda Page was hilarious.
Great life he had! And a pretty resting place! Pretty trees, birds, benches, and a pretty pond! what more can a person ask for! Thanks Jordan!
My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are buried at Forest Lawn. I knew "Grady" was also buried there. I just didn't know his grave was that close to my family's. I'll pay respect next time I'm down there. Great blog Jordan!
The character of Grady was one of my favorites. And I loved Sanford and Son ❤
Good one, per usual. You were totally correct. The Grady show didn't work at all.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Grady, rest on, sir
From NC
Love how you choose the supporting actors and characters to talk about- great job!
You know Jordan I want to thank you for everything you do for us
Good Goody de Goo. One of the greatest catch phrases of all time. My favorite Grady episode is Cousin Emma. She promised them a big breakfast and the next morning she didn't do anything. I like the part when Emma is coming down the stairs walking crooked but she can sit straight.
I met him & I believe it was his daughter or daughter in law at a gas station.
Super nice gentleman & even gave me an autograph.
Right on, Jordan! You are such a great storyteller! Shelly had you pegged,huh!😉THANX a bunch.👍💓🤗🤗🤗
Whitman was so special a performer. He was terrific on Sanford and Son and I saw him in some other projects over the years.
Thank you Jordan!! This brought back some childhood memories of watching Sanford & Son with my Mom.
Grady was the best. Wild that he passed away in a hospital named Grady, in Atlanta GA.
He passed at Crawford Long now Emory Hospital
I loved Grady!! Even as a little kid he would crack me up and a lot that show went over my head. S&S is classic
I LOVED Grady!!!! The lady who played Aunt Ester(Lwanda Page) she & Redd Fox went to school together. When she was trying to get in the business,Redd told her she should be on his new show...and that's how she got on "Sanford & Son".

He sounds like a great guy. That show was so funny with so many funny characters.

my late dad loved Sanford and Son he would laugh a lot at it my fav character was the aunt or grandmother character
Grady always made me laugh!!
Sup Jordan😎
You should do a video on the partridge family and see if the bus is still in that los Angeles junk yard
It's gone
The episode with Cousin Emma😂
Grady Wilson: One of the funniest characters on Sanford and Son!
Best for me was when Grady asked Fred if he five dollars he could borrow and Fred said, Dang, Grady, you caught me at a bad time... I got it.
I remember that guy Grady and who played Mr rythem onDC Cab
🪦 RIP Whitman Mayo . Lol😂❤ Great one Jordan 💕. So funny 🎭📺🎥
Guess what Jordan Grady was my favorite too also Aunt Easter Cheri TN
