Garrett Morris is a fantastic actor! Give this man his flowers, as they are well deserved. 👏 👏 👏
They are lol😊
When my aunt was in the hospital, Garrett Morris aka “Stan” was in the hospital room next door to hers after he was shot. I was a kid and a huge Martin fan, and we must’ve got on his nerves stopping by his room and saying hi but he was always gracious and nice.
Really that coll I remember he got shot after doing a karate move
Garrett Morris will ALWAYS be known as “Mr. Mason” to me! Cooley High is my all time FAVORITE movie from the ‘70’s! Salute from the CHI!!!💯💯💯
I swear this why i like listening too older generations. They always give you life lessons and PLENTY of knowledge💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
That's EXACTLY y people like u and I are still alive because we listen to and learn from the older generation 💯
Fun fact about Cooley High. I was a kid living in Cabrini and saw when they were filming it. The restaurant was actually a grocery store that they changed to a restaurant for the scene.
Wow like Shawn said this is Black royalty I always been a big fan of Mr Moriss from my days watching the Jaime Foxx show with my Granny, so many memories I'm glad we was able get this interview.
Garrett Morris is a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHOW YA RIGHTTT💯💪🏽
Black, white , brown , yellow , blue , it don't every race knows this man. He is iconic.
Yall don't understand, this man has been in my life my whole 37yrs and I haven't had the privilege to meet him! Martin, Jamie Foxx show, 2 Broke Girls, and etc. all 🔥
" Beisbol been berry, berry good to me"
" If you don't take off them shades imma bounce you off these hall lockers"
" Why don't you change the charges to simple joyriding or something"
Saturday Night Live original and Mr. Mason from Cooley High my favorite movie ( along with the ORIGINAL Super Fly) .I can recite almost every line from both movies. Legendary interview. Gotta catch these REAL OGs before they close their eyes. So much history that we can't get from books.
I'm glad someone finally decided to give Garrett Morris his Flowers 💐 🎉 he needs more recognition hell throw him a party go all out 👍🏿 ❤
Garrett is a veteran and a legend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Be careful what you tell an elderly person. He almost fell apart when you told him about regina king son! He definitely the goat! This man deserves more than flowers. Give him a street and his own Holiday!
One of the best to ever do it!!! 🙏💪
This interview is GOATED!!!🔥🔥🔥
Even as a Mexican I know this man. He's a legend 🎉
You live in Mexico?
@ronaldbrogden6002 No in AZ but watching all Martin Foxx hood classics
@@Metalcomedienne clown??
It shouldn’t matter what ethnicity you are to know good people.
@robertmoon9756 it does because ask some Mexicans or white who he is and they wouldn't know.
Loved this interview. Thank you to Shawn and the team for doing this. Garrett is a legend
All you kids out there watching this in full or just in part???....
Know this....
this interview is a gift.
You'll realize that in 50 in or 60 years when it's most likely still out here to look back on.
History, from a man that lived through it.
VLAD TV,
thank you for the videos.
Fantastic interview with uncle Garrett. He is truly a trailblazer in the 60s and 70s. There was not too many jobs for Black people. Uncle Garrett stay working for a long time he’s not a sale seller he was on network television he can only do both so much, but he open the door for comedians like Eddie Murphy And in Living Color where are you can be yourself💯☺️
He definitely is a jewel to the game. OG is a understatement. Theres not enough time to list his accomplishments.
He is a national treasure
Give this man his flowers. This is great.
Stan Garrett is a class act! Great interview! & the history lesson unmatched!
That entire interview was a mazing I all ways wanted to no his story he is in will all ways be the Greatest Ledgend of all I was waiting for this omg I sure did learned a hole lot from this 💘 💙
Thank you
Gilda Radner, Rosanna Dana😂😂😂😂that original SNL crew was funny, funny as hell! Grew up watching them in the ‘70s
Hasta be one of the best interviews ive ever seen period .what a truly amazing person
I'm 44 yrs old and all my life I know Gerttown as the 17th w/d, never knew they use to call it the 19th. Learn SUMN new everyday!
It still is the 19th ward just like the 3rd really the second! It's voting districts we just took it and ran with it for something else
I sure the city might have been broken up into 19 wards when Mr Morgan grew up but it’s only 17 wards and Gerttown is now the 17th but that’s true what people think is the 3rd is actually the 2nd.
He probably up there in age and forgetting.
Legend Morris is what I call him…
Oh man! What an amazing interview. I found myself wanting more after it was over. Garrett is a great human being with an amazing story. He was honest and real. I can't wait to read his memoir.
Best interview ever. I've met Art and Babe Evans are wonderful people.
Wonderful interview with Mr. Morris
Great very talented excellent actor, always the best in his movies❤
Thank You Mr. Garrett Morris 👑 💐 💐
Appreciate this beautiful interview , from the diamond knowledge , your sense of humor to your inspirational journey
This was AWESOME🎉 thank you for doing this one❤❤❤
A very good interview! Enjoyed very much, thank you!
Thank you Garrett Morris. Your interview blessed me.❤️🙏🏾
Great interview! Great job as always! I have to cut off Vlad's interviews sometimes because he cuts people off&acts like he knows more than the person he's interviewing life. It's frustrating. Mr. Morris brought the inspiration&positive vibe like I thought he would. This was truly great!
Great interview, Thank you ☺️
Yes I have been asking for this interview. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Amazingly Astounding interview from both sides ❤❤❤
Excellent interview of an unsung, super talented legend. He makes me miss the days when actors had to be real actors.
Agreed.
Great Great Great Interview !
Thank you Vlad and Garrett Morris!
Great interview!!
🏆Living Legend💯😎
I can still see Garrett as the interpreter for the hard of hearing for Weekend Update on SNL yelling "President Francisco Franco is still dead!!"😆
What a honor
Garrett Morris has more views than Liar Con (Lyor Cohen) in two days, yet Vlad posts an advertisement for the upcoming Liar Con interview, and not Garrett Morris
53:13 "We as a people!" Yes!!! I miss that talk!!
Am I the only one who remembers Mr. Morris singing opera on SNL one night? It was beautiful! He was amazing! He was so funny as Stan on "Martin." Loved all the episodes with him in ot and loved the episode where Kim Fields was crushing on him. 😅
Garrett is the best! He's the Eddie Murphy before Eddie Murphy of SNL back when it was called Saturday Night Live
I enjoyed this interview
Livin legend dope interview
Thanks for mentioning Chicago's Jackie Taylor !!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥interview
Derick Walcott is from St Lucia my country, wow
Fascinating.
Very cool to see Garret Morris on here…good interview. I have always thought he was a very nice man. God bless him. My SINCERE prayer is that he comes back to Christ before he leaves this earth. I am so sorry he had family that were not living Jesus. Everything he mentioned people did in the name of Jesus was very wrong. It has NOTHING to do with the truth of who JESUS is. The religion of Christianity is not wrong, the people were. Giving credit to ourselves for the good things that happen or positive thinking is dangerous. Humans fail. Jesus is LORD. Blessings! 🙏🏽✝️
Love this guy ❤
He's aging gracefully black really don't crack.....He's a living legend!❤
First saw him in Cooley High..
I wonder if his resume include working with James Earl Jones because I believe he did a lot of Broadway plays around that time
👏👏👏 BRAVO! 👏👏👏
His best part was in Cooley high
Mr.Mason.....ALL DAY. " Don't give me that tough guy act, you better take off them shades before I bounce you off these hall lockers
( Damon takes off the shades)
Mr.Mason: " Oooh, put em back on"
@@missayawk facts lol 😂 off them hall lockers
@@lboogie3171 I know those kids, Richard Morris gotta scholarship to Grambling. Why don't you change the charges to SIMPLE joyriding or something"
I’m from New Orleans and never heard Gert town being the “19th ward” that’s the 17th.
How bra gone let him think this his platform 😂
Cause it is, he doesn’t work for Vlad, he’s a contractor that does his own interviews…
@@andricdewayne4530well this interview has a big black bold vladtv stamp right in the top left corner?
😂😂😂 Yea it could just be both ours😂😂😂
@@user-cy5px9pg9rjus keep it at my house.....
@@andricdewayne4530I'm sure you don't believe the BS you just said. 😂😂😂😂
Garrett Morris the stuff!😂
Al Franken got his, though. He got a raw deal when he was ousted from the Senate. Never understood how he could be treated that way. Makes sense now. Man!!!
Garrett is definately him. facts. 💯
You forgot to say “alright here we go”
It aint Vlad!
Paul Martin loves you today, be bless
The man who called him Uncle Tom I bet was Paul Mooney….. let me know
Garrett said, when you get home you can look it up on your computer😁Many older people don't realize you can Google on your phone wherever you are.
Garrett has the receipts
The black comedian, that he will not name, I’m wondering if it’s Paul Mooney.
@2:35
Love it.
Chocolate Chip Charlie “The Stuff”
🐐🤞🏽👑💯
All us old fogeys remember the Not Ready for Prime Time Players
He's talking about Eleanor Holmes Norton who was the delegate in DC
Legend
Al Franken always was suspicious...😅
51:32, season 3, episode 5, 11/12/77 - comedian Franklyn Ajaye made a guest appearance. Could it be him?
❤💪🏾✊🏽
Love Mr Morris work !!
One way Brother Jesus . And no one who is truely a Christian cares what Color Jesus was. Or anyone else for that matter.
SNL in the house !
I used to love it when they let him sing Oprah on SNL
Positive thinking and pushing the mind to think positively is Christianity also. Religion doesn’t make people better or worse, your choices do.
Uncle Junior you mean to tell me U Ain't Paid them Damn Traffic tickets 🎫 🎫 yet???
Where Jamie and Braxton they gonna have to bail you outta jail🤣😆😂😂😃 🎫 🎫 🎫
A Buddhist, Jesus is perfect not man. Jesus is not the blame for slavery.
Tried to look up this Kenneth w stamps, but is bringing up someone from Montana🤔
Garrett you got it backwards Ric Stone is the actor Roberts is the one that's dead
Damn, interviewer, you could have at least watched an episode of SNL, from the 70s. They were introduced as 'Not ready for prime time players' by Don Pardo.
he taught me something about women lol 😆
Yoooooooo,💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN~!!!
Say bless bra,❤❤😂
That’s no reason to leave Jesus Christ he is the only way
@53:30. Did he say he was born in 1977 ? So he 46 or 86 ? 😂
He said 1937.....are you DEAF?
He said 1937
I wish Vlad had done this interview. I think
It would have been much better. Kudos to Garrett and his contribution to our enjoyment of his career
My guess is the comedian was Paul Mooney
I thought the same thing
Yep. Great minds think alike.
Nah, he said he still around
