    I think my favorite part of this is Williams’s use of “aks” at the beginning of the sketch. It perfectly captures Buckley’s propensity for trying to develop rapport with his interviewee by using their idiolect within the confines of his own and highlights the pretentious quality of that additional affectation.

      That definitely was not a Thomas Sowell impression. Thomas Sowell is a libertarian. Yes he is conservative but black conservatives do not refer to other black men as brotha's. Also the sketch clearly stated his views were left wing conspiracies which was in line to the time when black men blamed the system for keeping black men down. What conservatives at the time would refer to as the angry black man symptom. Black conservatives usually blame the black community itself and black culture for slowing progress for black society, black liberals blame the society around them . The joke was to take an absurd accusation for why black men can't succeed in entertainment based on society circumstances and make it actually true. If anything he was reflecting more of a Cornell West or Jesse Jackson.

      Well, despite not always agreeing with his political leanings, Buckley certainly had some odd mannerisms -- but that is all they were. Mannerisms. We all have them.
      And actually, he was not a ridiculous character, meaning open to ridicule. His character as a human was quite solid. A razor sharp intellect, well read, a deep thinker, good debater, confident, usually polite, very witty, able to give ground and be swayed by argument, inviting contrarian positions only his show. How many talk hosts do that nowadays? In those days, respectable people did not make fun of odd mannerisms. They engaged with the substance of the mind. And whereas Buckley added much to the social debate of his times and was always true to his own nature, Williams made a career out of cheap imitative humour and entertainment, thinly veiling what an insecure and messed up human he really was. Never found him funny or clever. Just a ham.

      Well yes ... you and I and many others may "pull apart" Buckley's various opinions, views, statements about his own and his shared political positions, but this thread started -- and my posts have only been about -- the matter of his mannerisms and Robin William's portray of them. Then I commented on matters of character. But I sure ain't gunna buy into YOUR agenda of disagreements with Buckley's views on any topic. If you are American, and if you believe in so called free speech, then you, me, us all, must allow all voices to be heard, including the Limbaughs and Buckleys of this world. You cannot take away from Firing Line the massive platform he chose to give to viewpoints differing with his, such that YOUR BIGOTRY shows more clearly than his own. So many pundits today ONLY HAVE on their shows like-minded bigots. Their positions are so weak they cannot invite challenge. Hats off to Firing Line for not being so closed minded.

      You badly confuse and conflate mannerisms, manners, character, opinions, and morals. Please study a dictionary on these terms before you comment on these topics again. And, you obviously do not read very carefully. "A ridiculous character" -- as Joseph McDermot posted -- is not the same as a having a character open to ridicule.

    They say that Eddie Murphys character is "Philip Holder", but it seems he is doing abit of a Thomas Sowell impression there.

      @wings of a butterfly He's definitely got a better sense of humor.
      No disrespect to Sowell, I'm sure he's a fine economist, but he (Sowell) comes off as having a preset notion of the world before he explains the data, which as a social scientist you'd think it'd be the other way around: research first, extrapolate all the data, and then make an observation based on the data. But then again, you don't sell too many books by them being just an endless list of figures and a simple conclusionary statement.
      That said, Sowell is a fairly interesting character as a person, especially when you delve into how he thinks of the world.

      @@shelbyherring92 Sowell actually does have a pretty good sense of humor, though of course Murphy is something special in that respect.
      Obviously you write the book stating your thesis at the outset; that need not correspond to how you originally came to the idea of the book. Sowell is far more empirical and data-driven than most social scientists and political economists, including those who criticize him.

      Also, this isn't remotely close to a Sowell impression, either in speech or in mannerism. Whether that interview was the inspiration for this sketch, though, I couldn't say.

    For those who didn't get the Rodney Allen Rippey reference, during the mid-to-late 1970s he played basically every Black kid on TV. If he had a grandfather, that role was played by Scatman Crothers. Eventually Gary Coleman and later Emmanuel Lewis replaced him in those "Love Boat" or "Fantasy Island" type guest spots.
