That was no secret. Both Malcolm and Eddie has spoken about how they just didn't get along and that really affected the show along with the network. Trying to change what the show was originally supposed to be in the first place. I personally like Malcolm and Eddie. I thought that their dynamic was actually not bad. You had two dudes who literally were night and day from each other. Clearly they're upbringings were different and their viewpoints are different. I think a show like this was a little ahead of its time. What this proved to me is that just because you're black does not mean that you have the same viewpoints at the same time talk the same and be the same.
I agree. I find it amazing that despite their differences they were able to pull together some good on screen chemistry. It speaks to them as professionals. As crazy as it sounds it feels like that added some authenticity to the show.
Nothing wrong with their situation,everyone you work with isn't going to like you,or you them,everybody has bills to pay at the end of tha day. SHALOM.
@@powerbadpowerbad Bro, that's not even the case. When you have your two guys that you're building a show around and they can't get along that is a problem. ain't no big deal?! 😆😆😆 This is not a situation where a couple of co-workers who don't like each other can stay away from each other. No, these two have to work closely together. I mean are you kidding me
I go to the comedy club a lot and they said Eddie Griffin is a straight a hole!
@SPSax4 given the "odd couple" element of the show, I agree with both your "impressiveness" and "addition" takes!
I wish they would made it to 100 episodes.. I’m sure there’s a lot of shows who don’t get 100 but this show is and will always be a classic
I don't know how the show made it to 88 episodes! It was terribly written. I tried watching it but it was not interesting at all. I know I'm not the only one who thought this. It was silly in at bad way. I think too many people just won't come out and say it wasn't a very good show.
@@beaujac311 WTF show was you watching 😂
I respect both of them as grown men looking at the bigger picture. Let's be honest, we ALL work with people who we may not necessarily like, but the job still has to be done. Working with someone despite your differences displays maturity and humility. Hats off, Brothers.
Wow you are so right about that peace love and life Ase
That episode when Eddie impersonated Prince was a classic
💯🤣❤but wait...That's not Prince's chest 🤣🤣🤣😭
Nah, the Tom Arnold holding Malcolm Mcgees hostage.
I'm watching it as I type this 🤣
The network knew exactly what they were doing. It is the same thing over and over. This is why it's important to have our networks
We could, but our community is too invested in validation from the inorganics aka All non-black people!
💯
TV One is still owned by Kathy Hughes..Byron Allen has a network...Diddy and Oprah might have silent partners with control over them!
I believe even if we had our own network the same thing would happen. It’s a formula to this Hollywood shit. No matter what color they all follow it.
Kinda hard so support blacks companies especially when that "BLM" BS got exposed smh 🤦🏽♂️ don't even know who to trust nowadays
They were civil with each other, and they both knew where they stood with each other. So I’m cool with how it all went down. Got love for both of those great brothers.
Facts about that 💯
The network did them dirty. They cut them short on purpose. 12 Episodes! They put up with "whatever" for 88 episodes and couldn't hold on for 12? They are full of shit. They robbed those young men.
I always thought Eddie was like his character in Foolish which was somebody who'd be a headache if you can't handle who he is. MJW is a different cat and that's ok and Eddie is more of the wild, edge comedian you hear about back in the day so I get why they never could vibe
You’re right. Foolish was Eddie only chance to get people to understand how he really is. Dude a unpredictable goofball.. some people don’t like being around that shit all day 😂
Like someone said, it's important that we create our own networks. You cannot make yourself at home in somebody else's house. We still ain't learned yet.
Exactly building nests in somebody else's trees.
@@keivajones1865 That's the story of most BM, let's be honest.🤷
@@sagittarius420cheefie ur right but also women need not look for protection among others who hate us either
I'm glad you guys tried to work together.... that's why we should have our own writers for black shows.... but as always some of our white Americans want to dummy us down!!!
I have no problem with white writers writing for black actors if they keep the source material and the people that they're writing for true to character. I'm sick and tired of the stereotypical black writers and white writers that feel that every person who's black and young in America. Whether it be male or female, think the same act the same and have the same viewpoints. What I liked about the show is that you literally had two different dudes who just happen to be black. Who were friends Who had literally difference of opinion and a lot of things.
True Story
I think the biggest issue is when you have two of the complete opposite personalities and comedians it's almost impossible how to balance them. They both have visions on where the show should go so they can never be in sync regardless of the writers race or talent so its just all around unfortunate
@@anthonygause8082 STFU WITH DAT WE NEED ARE OWN GOOFY
@@mitsulegend Who The Fuck Are You Talking To LIl Dawg ?
I'm glad they both were able to say that they didn't like one another without it being disrespectful.
That's often unheard of. People have a hard time being rational and thinking logically when dealing with someone they don't like, especially knowing that they don't like you back.
Right
MJW they are cool now. I almost feel like the network engineered their disagreements. Ultimately they both were On Code.
It comes down to the big picture. Eddie is still a fun funny comedian hats off to both of them. Peace love and life Ase
Eddie has been keeping it real for a long time and not taking mess from anybody
There’s a downside to always wanting to be right instead of do right.
@@mcgavinclapping9490 amen
@@mcgavinclapping9490what do u mean by that?
He ain't that real and has never really been that funny or intelligent and it's really showing now.
how?
I respect Mr Malcolm Jamal Warner's Honesty. It all makes sense. The Network Execs and the white Writers (Malcolm and Eddie) involved with the show did not want the show to recieved Syndication.
Martin did 132 episodes and Tischina Arnold says she would literally get checks for one penny. Granted I don’t know how much Martin makes from his show but MJW must have thought every show he does pays like The Cosby Show. That’s not hardly the case. Speaking of shows I hate that Reed Between The Lines fell apart so fast!!
@@fuhyou3223 Tichina Arnold is just an actor nothing more, no ep credits, no producer credits for Martin. She likely gets a decent sized residual for 'Everybody Hates Chris' especially how that show blew up in Brazil.
Loved Malcom and Eddie
Being a director myself I have witnessed actors who don't get along hell actors that I didn't get along with they produced some of the best scenes
I've made the most money with people I didn't like. Long as our end goals are the same
@@DJRenee Facts
Black_Picaso:. That was not the case on this sitcom.
I actually remember them both saying this in separate interviews over the years. It's hard to look at the reruns now knowing both were miserable making the show.
It was hard looking at the show when it was first run. It was not a funny show. Just a bunch of gags strung together.
That’s crazy that I seen this and I been binge watching the shit out of this show. Super underrated and always loved they showed two different kind of black men and it was genuinely funny in a unique way.
it's not at all underrated. the show was on fire back in the day.
I could hardly watch it because it was silly in a bad way with terrible writing. The Wayans' Brothers was a lot better show. They were silly but in a funny way.
@@beaujac311 Wayne Bros suck😂 Marlon and Pops was carrying the show but looking back, Marlon always tried too hard to be funny. Eddie Griffin was a natural talent
@@quadjaysport I guarantee more people would say that the Wayans Brothers was a lot more enjoyable than Malcolm and Eddie. Malcolm and Eddie did not like their own show.
@@beaujac311 right I seen them say that but Eddie and Malcom made the best of the show as they could and I found it way more hilarious than Marlon screaming nonsense and Shawn trynna impress the ladies throughout a show. Wayne Bros was corny asf
Malcolm Jamal Warner was trying to make The Cosby show part 2 where Eddie Griffin was trying to make the Wayans brothers 😂
A whole bunch of folks was coming at Eddie Griffin because of his antiBW statements. And it's like dude BW been supporting you for the longest man.
Sounds to me that Malcolm came with all of the positive aspects of Cosby's work ethic. But, with those around you, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Wrong
you have to listen to the entire interview with toure..it was actually really good. the way comedy hype edited malcolm is misleading.
He would hate on Eddie, he carried the show on his back
Eddie is the funnier one Malcolm is too serious. Like Kenan and Kel. Kel is the funnier one but Kenan was serious and less funny on the show. The show wasn't called Malcolm's Sports Bar but if Eddie wasn't on the show it wouldn't last by Malcom carrying it on his own.
Just watched season 3 and 4 on Tubi, they were equally valuable because without Malcolm the show is cartoonish coonery, bufoonery.
IT'S NOT LIKE EDDIE IS A PROBLEMATIC COMEDIAN/ACTOR. HE'S ONE OF THE REAL ONES LIKE PRYOR AND CHAPPELLE. HE'S AN AUTHENTIC ENTERTAINER.
Chapelle made a music video satire of women being pissed and pooped on all while everyone laughed at it. Dave chappelle is not a great one …he is a puppet that played his position well
Yeah but crazy and NOT normal..just like Richard... please do your research, Richard was a craxkhead..funny but still a' well I think u get it
In my humble opinion, they gave it their absolute best, together. In spite of...
This is Definitely New Information…. Personally, I liked the show. It was better than “Homeboys in Outter Space.”
Don’t do my boy flex like that …he tried tho 😂😂😂😂
@@ChaunLeeTV sorry,but it was…. I went back to watch “Homeboys in outer Space” a couple years ago, and BOY was it terrible…. You know Bill Cosby didn’t care for it either.
MrUgorji917:. Watching paint dry was funnier than " Homeboys". Malcolm and Eddie was not much better.
Malcolm was fine... I was just too young to appreciate it 😂
He still is 🥰🥰
Same.
I loved the show and wish both of the brothers health wealth and blessings
I loved this show. Too bad it ended. I also hate how yt ppl think they can write our stories from our perspective yet you don’t say na one of us in the How I Met Your Mother or Friends writers room
*Friends was a copycat of a successful "black show" that's why it worked so well.
Two talented brothers love em both and that's all I gotta say..💯💯
That’s wild
People still give a damn after 23 years? Gotdamn, this is old news where MJW has explained this time and time again
Thank u for typin that. Why is this news now??🙄. No offense, but it wasn’t like it was on a major network with a huge following.
I love MJW. It was a good show. Wish it had made it to 100.
Probably was intentional on the mayo folks part
Was a fan of the show and, never knew behind the scenes they didn't get along. Meanwhile, the bigwigs, knowing they didn't get to 100 shows(👍👍👏👏🎆🎆🎇🎇
He said this a long time ago on a Breakfast club interview
Malcolm Jamal Warner looks good. Every decade is a W.
At least , Eddie Griffin gave him props when TV One did his Unsung Hollywood special...he said Mal was a smooth operator who got more ladies than him...including their co star Karen Malina White even though writers would always have the Eddie character basically make her look like a desperate basket case!
That was my mf’n show too smh definitely a underrated show!
Y'all must have been young who enjoyed this show. It was not funny at all. I was in my thirties when it premiered and I thought that it was dumb. Maybe I was too old for this show.
Cosby definitely instilled greatness into Malcolm Jamal Warner & taught him how to not to let Hollywood have you playing a role that is demeaning to people of color. With that strong mindset & determination, he just couldn't allow the white writers to tarnish our image which is a testament of who he really was raised by Cosby to be. As far as Eddie Griffin, like Malcolm said he is just a nut
Cancelled at 88 episodes - damn, that’s a real shame.
You can respect someone and not like them, they respected one another and got the job done. I still watch their show and a few others. You would be surprised at how many shows have this same issue. They are professionals there to get the job done and make their pay, it’s business. I wish the so had continued it was good.’
It’s strange, I remember watching the show every week, but cannot remember anything (storylines, etc) from it. In other words, it was unremarkable.
I can't say I remember any episodes/storyline. I do remember enjoying the show. It wasn't bad by any means, but yeah you have a point. I just do want to call it "unremarkable" it feels disrespectful but I understand your point and it is valid.
The show didn't have too many storylines. Each week's was a standalone episode
sparkswolverine:. "Kunte Kinte I found you". I finally found someone who said that the show was not good. I think too many people in these comments think that they will hurt someones feelings if they say the show was trash. How could it be anything but, considering both Malcolm and Eddie didn't think that the writers were any good, and that both stars of the show were just going through the motions to try and get to the magical 100 episodes.
💡If I recall BOTH men were trying to get SEPERATE sitcom deals with UPN, and the network presented them with the idea of "Malcolm & Eddie" or nothing, ☝I always felt that network sitcoms "Ch⛓ned & handcuffed " comedians (The Richard Pryor Show, The Royal Family{Red Foxx}, Kevin Hart's 2 sitcoms, Dave Chappelle's 3 sitcoms, SinBad & Robin Harris's {unaired due to death - he was uncomfortable on set}. "A Different World" would have been canceled if not for the REWRITING of what a HBCU was supposed to be thanks to Bill & Debbie (season 1 -- Can't watch -🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂)
I believe the Wayans Brothers had the same complaint, about the white writers on their show, as well.
The all white writers and producers assured Malcom that there would be no stereotypical humor and he believed it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which 90s classic was funnier The Meteor Man or Blankman? 🤔🤷🏽♂️😄😄😁
Blankman for me. "I'll slap you like you one of my bitches." Lol
Damn that's a hard one, but I gotta go with Blankman
probably a slight edge to Blankman, but I loved them both so much!
I agree with both of you 😃💯💯👍🏽
I loved this show so much. I wish they had gotten to 100 episodes but I wish them both nothing but the best
I can honestly say, Eddie G. is a good comedian but behind closed doors he definitely seems like a very difficult human being to be around.💯 Respectfully, still respect his work✌️☕
Malcolm doesn't age!!! He looks the same as he did back then and that's been decades! BLACK DON'T CRACK!
how many times are we gonna talk about this
I was a fan of the show back in the day. It would have been nice to see it in reruns. I feel like they did some reruns at one point on BET or TV one but I don’t remember which.
It's on PlutoTV
☝Yet 4 some reason on the same network "Kelsey Grammer" (Fraiser / Cheers) figured a formula to write a Successful show about AFRICAN WOMEN "GirlFriends" by hiring to African American women & lettin them tell THEIR STORY (Mara Brock Akil & Regina Y. Hicks) THEIR WAY 🤷🏽♂🤷🏽♂
I used to watch Malcom and
Eddie always. And I loved
Angelle Brooks on the
show.
They need to end this fued and do a reunion show
Damn that's crazy smh
I dread these vids with John Opp’s narrations. I can’t continue
Griffin is more hood than Malcolm, and I can see that was a big problem for them, but at least they both accomplished a whole lot in their career's.
I met Malcom in des Moines IA
On Mr. Malcolm Jamal Warner's terms
Putting things in a nutshell, Malcolm and Eddie were two guys from two different worlds. Did they hate each other? No! Also, they were far from friends. But they were smart enough to see the bigger picture, put aside their difference and work together.
I can't believe the greatness of Eddie Griffin, to only have 4 million total savings. He's too good to be almost broke.
4 million dollars is almost broke? The guys has a huge family he's been supporting for over 30 years. From his money alone. F outta here
Eddie wasn't selling out
This story again?
Haaaaaaaaa never knew the show. Wow.
The writers should have done a better job of allowing them to do them on camera. Don’t change what makes someone who they are just to fit into a box.
It seems pretty obvious, that, Mr. Warner and Griffin are from two different styles of comedy; and, I would venture to guess, two different styles of life.
I'm glad to hear, they were smart enough NOT to let their differences get between them and their Paychecks!
I believe, if the rest of the Black community were more willing to tolerate each other, long enough to work together, the Black community would be in a much better situation.
use to be a fan of Eddie but he be on some other shit on the internet now
bro I still cannot get into Malcolm and Eddie but it’s in tubi if y’all wanna watch it.
There won't be many people hurrying over there to watch it. I agree it wasn't a very good show.
Eddie seemed like he’s a problem.
It didn’t become a good show until the 2nd season. I don’t remember much of the first season, but I know it took me a couple of episodes through the first season before I actually laughed.
Result -Warner keeps getting job opportunities, Eddie, not so much.
Eddie is hosting a prime time, celebrity magic competition series on network television right now.
@@modernretroradio993 It's on The CW I think it's called Magic With The Stars which comes on Saturday nights.
@@larrymarshall8900 Yep!
Eddie Griffin is not an “actor”. He still does shows as a comedian.
@@fuhyou3223 I copied the following from his Wikipedia page:- "Edward Rubin Griffin is an American comedian and actor."
Not surprised Eddie Griffin was hard to work with…that’s why you don’t see em with nobody today..he alienated himself a long time ago..
He saying Eddie was a sellout
They used this concept for the Wayne's bros
You can look at Eddie griffin and TELL,SUMN KINDA OFF WITH THE GUY...SOOOOOO,were not shocked at all..s/o to theo
imagine black writers trying to write scripts depicting the lives of young white jewish men...will never happen and we all know why............
Nothing new here. It was public knowledge they beefed. They tried, but it just didn't mix.
Be surprised a comedian is trying to be funny bruh. This is the same network that seriously put Homeboys In Outer Space on the air. What was he expecting?
0:04 It never struck me how much Malcolm Jamal-Warner favors Tariq “Mink-Flex” Nasheed.
White writers, White network, what do really expect, I'm on the side of Malcolm that black sitcoms need to protay a position out look on things
Eddie went on to become a star until he crashed that car in Redline, MJW the homie but idk. Eddie was a big deal back then moreso than him,though I respect him
richard pryor v bill cosby
weed blunt v tobacco blunt
Malcom lookin like tariq nassheeda
I figured August was Gay whn he was on Big Brother dressed like Tweety Bird
Malcolm is a talented actor but he is delusional if he thinks we look at him as a comedic actor let alone in the same level of comedy as Eddie. Eddie is damn near a comedic genius he is hilarious but Malcolm just ain't he was on the breakfast club trying to crack jokes last week sounding dry as hell 🤔🤦🏾♂️
It's no secret Malcom Jamal Warner is difficult to work with. He thinks just because he's got 8 years of The Cosby Show under his belt, he's some kind of sitcom expert? No. No you're not Malcom Jamal Warner. You still have a lot to learn about the entertainment business. Even Bill Cosby himself will tell you this.
For example the Malcom & Eddie show. Eddie Griffin is going along with the crew and writers to make a funny show. If you're the only one demanding re-writes because you don't like the direction the show is going. Then you Malcom Jamal Warner are the odd man out.
Malcom Jamal Warner you are the problem. Not the solution. Many tv actors are late to show up for work and have shenanigans going on. But they still get the job done. In the entertainment business that's all that counts. The fact you're blaming Eddie Griffin and the writers for your shortcomings is just plain weak.
Malcom you're the reason why the show never made it to 100 episodes. You're the reason why you can't get movie work. You're the reason you can't get a decent tv show. You're difficult to work with period.
Malcom: 6 movies total 5 of them just small side characters. 1 movie as a lead role.
Eddie: 51 movies total many of which he's either a lead or supporting character.
Those are the facts.
I bet Eddie did not follow the script. Neither guy wanted to be on that show and the results show that. UPN let their show run because they needed content for their startup network. Most of the network startups began with black shows because black people watched more tv on averaged than other demographics. They would start with black shows until they gained traction and then would jettison them when they no longer needed them. That's why Malcolm and Eddie made it to 88 episodes in the first place.
Never watched it
You didn't miss anything.
This is a problem with my black I want to talk down about either person but Eddie Griffin is funnier start up old boy from The Bill Cosby show me forget his name two young black man coming up in the world with male egos and can't work together I don't understand are black people working together that's what it all comes down to we need to break this cycle and got to do better working together more now than ever. 💯 FACTS
Only watched cuz of Eddie. Malcolm was kinda corn-ballish. Only liked Warner as Theo.
You could tell they never got along. It came off on camera. And it really wasn't a good show,IMO. Being from KC, I SOOOO wanted it to be.
They all OVER Pluto now tho. SHEESH!
That's dumb as hell to sign up for a JOB acting, making a lot of money, then turn around and try to tell other people what to do because their show doesn't portray the outlook that YOU want, thus causing the people that hired you to pull the plug😵 Dave Chappell said it best in his skit when he played Rick James stomping his muddy boots in Charlie Murphy's couch and got beat up😂😂😂😂👍
They sell you on one thing and then pull the okey doke.
Brah why we still talkin about this? This was 20years ago. Nobody cares
Eddie is ignorant
Well-lack of talent-there IS that…. Watch old Cosby shows. Malcolm Jamal Warner has the acting skills of Raj on “What’s Happening”.
Eddie just not tv material
Eddie acted like he had bad nerves he was loud and anoying and wouldent stop he needed to slow down you could see he was hipper as hell as far as the producers go it's there show they can write what they want two black kids should of Ben glad to of Ben on that show I'm a black woman do you know how many of us blacks would of loved to be on that show doing that show but Eddie was working my nerves and I only had to see him on TV. Lil tinyan had problems
Warner was boring af which make sense a dry ass Cosby humor I'm not surprised
LoL they going after Eddie now cuz of wat he said about black women in his stand up 🤷🏿♂️💯
