Who else is here after he passed ?
R.I.P
Who’s here after Vlad posted it on its channel
Me R.I.P
I am. So sad. My daughter 16 dropped her off to school and she txt me, oh Lord mom guess who died. I couldn't believe it. We both love him sooooo much. She said mom and we just was watching him in the movie Friday. And we were, the Saturday before his passing. Rip, for the world is crying.
R.I.P
Me..i legit just posted my respects..now i gotta watch all my favorite movies
Rest In Power, Pops! The most valuable line he ever quoted...."You win some, you lose some, but you live! You live to fight another day!!!" This is my approach to life's challenges.💯
GOD BLESS YOU 📖🙏🏿🙌🏿👏🏿❤️💯👑✊🏿
I disagree, I like, ( well lotto stud shut my door, can't even count to 10 an win the lotto, ain't that a bitch, and don't slam my God damn door!
I got bit on the ass son.. by a stankin ass fithy dog..(I told you,I told you) you ain't tell me shit!!
Who's driving driving this vessel? Stevie fuckin Wonder???
Indeed
To a young person, 77 seems old. At 77 most people are still sharp and active. It's only poor health that makes you age beyond your years. I didn't now John had been ill. It breaks my heart that he's left us so soon. Rest Well, Mr. Witherspoon.
Facts 💯
He's not gone. As long as you and I are still here.
That’s right just like us when we were young so I try not to judge
I watched this a couple months ago and smiled the WHOLE time. I'm HURT. LONG LIVE POPS
How you goin' to loose your job on your day off!! Jajaja fuck
I swear ✊
I love how bright his mind is! To be 76 and still doing his thing!
And to have taken so many drugs he has to have a secret
He died today 😞
I had some bad news john is dead he died yesterday
It's a sad day he will be missed..
We lost two famous actors cameron boyce and now john winterspoon wow
John is just a naturally funny guy he doesn’t even have to try
"Neutrally"? Or "Naturally"? I get the context however. Seriously asking.
I have this interview and he truly is hilarious. Made me laugh when he talks about driving across the road divider! Hahahahahaha. Anyone could say it but the way he says it makes it even more funnier! Marvin Gaye had a big as Fleetwood Cadillac....his little head sticking out the Fleetwood! Lol
R.I.P.John 😥😥😥
Have a safe journey home Pops..Bang Bang Bang! RIP 🙏💔😔
Thats a true comic comedian
"Dont nobody go in there for the next 35-45 minutes! "
Forever my favorite line. R.I.P.
"I used to play basketball with the temptations" Best interview that Vlad has done.
❤
RIP 😓💔 tooo mannyy legends not seeing 2020 💔
Yeah )':
Thought the same...Makes you wonder about 2020 & beyond...
Yeah so 2020 is absolutely horrible
It's weird when you realize some actors have been old your whole life. He's one of them, lol. They need to make a new Friday before he passes away tho frfr this man is a LEGEND
Truly Makel they are making a new friday
Truly Makel I thought about that the other day. They need to get going on the Last Friday movie while he is still alive and well.
they shouldn't bring in New actors
They will not unless Chris does it
Sadly RIP
I love him. This interview made me smile. Hope he continues to live a long, blessed life.
Amen! I second that! He's amazing!
Rip he just died today
Rest In Peace pops Bang Bang Bang
Sadly hes passed😥
This didn’t age well…sadly
He getting old man.. much respect to him tho. John Witherspoon is a legend!
Old but sharp as a barber’s razor
No disrespect but he been old lol
Damn shame he's going to die only known as a supporting actor even though he was the best part in a LOT of different shit. He needs his own movie asap!
He might live another 100 yrs
He was old in Boomerang....That was in 1992
His spirit is so genuine, he feels like an uncle! Love this guy! Very honest man.
Pp
@@mikesherwood1753 John Witherspoon was my uncle and I loved him dearly. If you think he was funny in the movies and on stage he was even funnier at home,
This is probably the most honest interview of all. Very good. Great personality.
Rip you was like a father to me watching Friday over and over again since I was a kid. Boondocks made you even more of a legend😪 Long Live John Witherspoon
Friday made him more of a legend than boondocks did.
@@onepiecethegoat4562 ik but boondocks just added on to that
Y’all should just drop the full interviews in the first place 😒
on god
more money for vlad
Why wud he mess up his money like that?
Genius
I agree 100
Who’s here after hearing the news....rip 🙏🏽
😔🕊💯 got off work and heard about it
😞
R.I.P my brother✊🏾
Rip
One of the best ever.. underrated 👑👑 💯
Hank 100 your opinion dick
Very bro
Larry Hicks stfu
Hank, maybe in some communities. He was a legend in
OUR community. We don't need the " Oscars" or other SELL OUT AWARDS to be beloved.
He was someone most (ADOS) can relate to a person in their lives.
RIP we appreciate your contribution to keeping us sane in this crazy world.
John Witherspoon should be well set financially. He is FARRRR to good, and funny to not be paid high.
One of my top 10 favorite actors of all time hands down. Love him.
He had to demand the money, you can't just make enough to get by.
He's worth more & has paid his dues...He should be financially waaay up there...Guess that's how it goes, if you don't bow down...It's their way or no way...Also others were afraid he'd surpass them...
Man he was a light. RIP John Witherspoon man. The Boondocks ain't gonna be the same man.
R.I.P Legend You was Legendary and I will always remember as a great man who always made me laugh weather it was in legendary films that featured you or shows You always gave me great laughs R.I.P
RIP JOHN WITHERSPOON... I WATCHED THIS DVD ON REPEAT WITH MY AUNT EVERY WEEK.. I FEEL LIKE HES APART OF THE FAMILY
HES LIKE THE GRANDAD I NEVER MET 💯
This hurts my heart. Thank you for all of the laughs, you will truly be missed. So underrated, RIP Mr. Witherspoon 😢🙏🏾❤️
John Witherspoon is naturally so funny and entertaining. He’s getting old which is a great blessing. All I hear is Grandad tho 😂💕✊🏾
He passed away now
John Witherspoon, my respect to a true comedy legend
I love how he keeps it real, "I was just trying to pay my rent."
Idk why but Pops dying is like losing a family member right now RIP Pops 💔
Babushka Boi I feel the same way !
Babushka Boi I felt the same way....I cried like he was my blood family.
Career Minded yeah its still hitting me hard his ora was like a genuine granddad even in this interview
Babushka Boi 💯💯💯💯
Babushka Boi facts fam

John Witherspoon ( January 27, 1942 - October 29, 2019) R.I.P. Pops
He had my bday
Damn, he gone be missed and they just renewed boondocks. 🤦🏾♂️
I just watched season 1 yesterday while waiting and now this, shits sad man
M14 I was watching wayang bros last night n now finding this out so sad
Yea for 2 season
Just listening to him talk about his past and how it was coming up and whats going on is entertaining what a great man.
Witherspoon A goat & A Real HustlA as you hear from himself he been grindin To pay Rent see I use to pay my rent 6 months aHead dat way if I was broke I had a place to sleep Boss 🍾 Da most High will continue to bless You Legend*"
Vlad cut him off but I would have loved to hear what his experience was working on Vampire in Brooklyn with Wes Craven. People should go back and see those scenes he did with Kadeem Hardison because they are absolutely hilarious, they stole the movie.
Facts
Hilarious everything he does
yes they did 😂🤣
Rest in peace brother.
You win some. You lose some. But you live to fight another day.. 💔💔💔
Big fan since Friday. God bless you my brother and I wish you nothing but all good things in life.
sad how rent is just killer now, cant even make it in life to get started without being robbed every month
ViiV Creations I feel you on that. 🤦🏾♀️
ViiV Creations Maaan, you ain’t lyin
Facts
@Anjani shut yo old ass up that was a valid comment we ain't here to get into real estate and economics. Rent is a killer & you cutting a dead man up to make a point. foh! You wierd.
Who else came back after they got the devastating news of his passing? 😢
Being that today is the day he passed, I know Vlad is going to upload a flashback of one of his interviews with him.
Who else here right after the sad news Rip Pops ❤️
Who grew up on the Friday series? R.I.P. John Witherspoon.
rest easy my friend! you made us laugh until we couldnt breath no longer from laughter and for that im very thankful for the memories you have given us all and we will miss you dearly John Witherspoon! RIP
Friday will never be the same again without this man thanks for making me laugh R.I.P. John Witherspoon
Awesome that Pryor respected John's talent enough to tell him he couldn't open for him on the road. Underrated comic.
J W will be truly missed. I am hurt and devastated smh 🤦♂️
God damn legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't make me get my belt😵😵😵😵 the Wayans Bros was my shyt and Friday after the Next.
VLAD: what keeps you going
JOHN: MONEY !!!
Me: 😭😭💀💀💀
Soul plane scene with the potatoe omg look that scene up best scene ever 😭😭😭😭
kingzonme 😭😭😭
Stinkyyyyy pinkyyyy lmao 🤣!!!!!
He died yesterday guys😢😢😢😢
R.I.P Pops!! Damn we lost a fuccing LEGEND!!!! I got tears in my eyes over this one!!!! This one hitting hard
#RipJohnWitherspoon
Pops: Son didn't i tell you last night to take out the trash. Craig: i fall asleep Pops: i wish you was sleeping right now I'll hit you with a left hook and make you take out that trash!!! LOL!!!
Carl Parker CLASSIC 😭
Carl Parker Everytime I come in the kitchen YOU in the kitchen. Eating all the food
All the chitlins... All the pig's feet... All the collard greens... All the hog maws. I wanna eat them chitlins... I like pigs feet
😂😂😂
That part gets me all the time
Mr. John needs a biopic!
They will most likely do one now that he has passed
Just lost a very special man today. I will never forget the smiles you put on my face, when I was down.😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏
Thank you VLAD for doing this interview! John Witherspoon is successful because he learned the business and uses wisdom. If you're wanting to be in the industry, listen to this man.
R.I.P , finally reunited with Richard and Robin Williams again
Mr. John Witherspoon is undoubtedly a Legend. He's organically funny. Paul Mooney is another one. Dipped in organic funny. John Witherspoon should have been on King's of Comedy handz down. Because I don't understand how some were on Kings on Comedy. Some made me yawn.....I was waiting on the funny.
Jumoke Thema he should of hosted it instead of Steve Harvey and Martin should of been on there in replace of DL
RIP Grandad! Thank you so much for interviewing him 😭🙏🏾
What I like is , he’s interviewing. And not trying to be a clown. He’s taking the interview seriously. Most people would try to be clowns. They would act as if that’s what’s what people want to see. A dancing clown when one isn’t needed
Words Cannot Describe The Joy You Brought To The Masses. Granddad You Will Be Missed..😔
I will forever say “Put some hot sauce on my burrito baby!” Rip to a legend.
Great interview!! Rest well, Mr. Witherspoon. You will be greatly missed🥰
R.I.P to a legend ...May you go to heaven still getting yo “bang bang bang” on
R.I.P truly a comedy Legend you will be miss pops 😢
RIP POPS, GRANDAD, MR WILLIE JONES
Oh how I miss this man here. One of the only celebrities that really hit my heart when he passed. Rest in paradise pops ❤️
I’m telling you cried my eyes out
#Rip John Weatherspoon a true comedy legend. Gone way too soon
R.I.P. John 🙏🏾
Thank you for the laughs ❤️
Man im going to miss this man hes definitely a legend rip
You are a Icon .You will be missed and always remembered.You are so Loved. I just wish people would give people their Roses while their still here..RIP sad time for alot of us .Your Were and Are a Legend.
Had to come back & watch this again. Thank u for all u have given us. #BangBangPop’s #PopcornPop #R.I.L🙏🏽
Great stuff ♥️. Pleasure to see John Witherspoon.
Salute to Vlad for pluggin his own interviews within his own interviews lol
Boy that's nothing but God from a $1.50 to $7000 God is so amazing.
Dragon Ball super is the best
Y’all keep saying he gonna die an all that stop worrying about this man he has lived a beautiful life he has been in MAJOR movies and tv shows he has lived a GREAT life. He will always be POPS.
RIP Pops. Boondocks, Wayans Bros. and the Friday series will never be the same without you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Love you pops , I’ll definitely miss you and your jokes YITADEE
R.I.P. John Witherspoon (1942 - 2019)! 🥺😢😭
God bless you mister Witherspoon. Thank you for making my family laugh during lousy times. Rest easy
Vlad this is the best interview I ever saw of John man. So much historical information came out in this interview. John just kept going offering more and more. He was something else, they dont make them like that anymore. Great interview Vlad. #Kudos
I really love him 😊 hope he lives a long and healthy life
huriye kantar RIP
We all wished
Awww RIP
Should have said longer life
@@elyonkunda6772 Was wishing so hard...Well, we tried...😢
I love you Pops. I smiled the entire time watching this interview. Thank you Vlad 🙏🏾.
Awesome interview. Heard about this on the Grand Cardone episodes today. Great work man. Rest In Peace.
Pops got so much game!!!!!!
RIP Brother, I guess “Last Friday” isnt gonna be happening anymore
I think its could happen but gonna be weird without him.. especially the boondocks idk how they gonna do that😢😢
@@kenmrgentleman 😞
I'm about to watch this, you better had asked "Pops" about the Wayans Bros. Vlad.
Don't nobody go in the bathroom for about thirty fiiive uhh forty fiive minutes...
I just binged on the entire Boondocks series, and came to see this again. RIP Pops
I hate how you talked over his Wes craven story and never went back to it
Nothing new. He does that dumb sh×t all the time. It's irritating as fkk.
Hella rude.
And he doesn’t even pay people for the interviews
R.I.P. Mr Witherspoon. I enjoyed watching you on the Wayans Bros show.
Mr. Witherspoon to me is on Flip Wilson's level...He deserves waaay more by far...Just to stay relevant 40 yrs, says alot...Who else was around w/ other legends?..
Respect...alot of these people don't know who Flip Wilson is
See this is why we should honor & respect OUR legends & elders why they're alive...Learn all you can from them, they leaving us quickly...My Gma left 10/16/19...I'm hurt by it all...
@@music7307 I enjoy learning about our ppl who paved the way...Famous or not...Those that history kept hidden or ddnt get their due acknowledge...
Such a colorful life....so inspiring....those last 5 minutes are so surreal too. Great man and great interview @djvlad #RIPSPOON
Bless this man... in Friday he actually reminds me of my dad in real life a funny man without knowing. This man made me laugh so many times. Would love to have met the legend 💯⚘
Rest In Peace John Witherspoon. So sad you weren’t able to do The Boondocks one more time before you passed. America’s favorite badass black pops. This one hurts smh.
I am so glad that VLAD did this interview. It gives us something to appreciate now that he is no longer with us. RIP POPS!
Rest in paradise pops thank you for the amazing roles you played may you rest easy may your legacy live on forever ❤️
Am I the only person who’s here after is death rip pops😣
Ashame how they treated old school people who paved the way
I'm really going to miss "Grandad" from Boondocks. That cartoon was priceless!!!
Who Else Is Watching After His Death ? 🤦🏾♂️
😢😢🤦♂️right here g
BANG BANG BANG BANG 😂😂
Yitideee
R.I.P Pops
Don’t nobody go in the washroom for about 35 45 minutes😂😂😂😂 RIP😩😩❤️❤️ I JUST LOVE YOU💕💕
Love witherspoon, hes gettin old, but still funny in an interview
I’m so glad I got to see him live at the Richmond Va funnybone comedy club because months later he passed away 😢RIP one of the greats
I don't typically like celebrity personalities. He genuinely sounded like a grounded and nice guy. I'm sure his family misses him dearly. This was a really good interview ☺️.
My man lived his best life😁😁 R.I.P🙏🏿🙏🏿MR. SPOON🙏🏿
