      @LinkRocks Maybe, but he left to be a minister, so I wonder if to him, it's not that important. I do want to see this new show that he is on, on a Christian movie channel. Demand Wilson always seemed to me an honest, straight-talking nice guy and a traditional man, not impressed by the Hollywood of hedonism and vices.
      And as we ladies know, he has aged very well and is very wise.

I will have to look deeper into to this channel. As a 60 something, I literally grew up watching the new weekly episodes of Sanford and Son. It was THE funniest show on television for more than a minute. Listening to Mr. Wilson speak here was quite interesting. I don’t want to say too much. I just really enjoyed the entire 59 minutes immensely. ❤

    Excellent interview 👍🏾 This host did a beautiful job. Demond Wilson is such an intriguing figure and a wealth of knowledge and strength. I will be reading his books and always wishing him the best! Btw, my favorite line/delivery of his from S & S was: "Would you stop it? Now, just stop it." 😂😂 Well done all around 💪🏾

  • @ediebowman-intothelightpro5931

    OMG!!! I was able to meet Demond Wilson at my church in the early 90’s in Massillon Ohio. He preached that morning, and was awesome! He spoke under a prophetic anointing!!! He knew my pastor, Bernard Lawson, from being in the entertainment field. I almost got to cut his hair when he asked if anyone in service could cut hair. But I was too afraid to say anything because I was only in the cosmetology field for a little over a year and didn’t want to be known as the girl who jacked up Demond Wilson’s hair! 😂
    I would love to see him again and pick his brain since I’m a playwright now. Great interview! And MAN! I wish young men and women would hear this and follow his advice concerning relationships.❤

    The greatest Sanford and Son episode in my mind is the episode where Lamont tried to get married. Demond and Red Fox knocked that episode out of the ballpark !!! Their chemistry was so phenomenal in that wedding episode !!! I always wondered if Richard Pryor helped write that episode? I wish Demond would talk about that episode. Thanks for doing this interview with Demond. I could tell you made him feel really comfortable, That's why you opened up and gave us lots of great stories and good wisdom !!! It is really neat to learn about one of my childhood icons.

I hate the separation of races that existed in the past and is STILL taught, proliferated, and EXPLOITED by the leaders of today. We are all Americans. And just cause you’re “skin folk” don’t mean you’re kinfolk. Sanford and Son like Demond said was real. Especially the relationship of an elderly rambunctious widowed father and his conscientious son. I lived it years later with my own father and his irreverent behavior. Great interview.

Unfortunately, those that need to read it ---cant read. Good stuff! I am very grateful for this interview. Btw---The New Age Millennium book isn't for the faint at heart. I recommend a prayer-for-protection affirmation before reading anything.

    Thank you for this. I just started following Demond on FB. It’s good to have Godly inspiration in my feed.
