Part 2: • Omar Gooding on Workin...
--------
In this clip, Omar Gooding opened up about growing up in the Los Angeles-area with his two siblings, including his brother, Cuba Gooding Jr. From there, Omar spoke about his father, Cuba Gooding Sr., being the lead singer of the group The Main Ingredient, who are known for their hit song, "Everybody Plays the Fool." Despite his success, Omar revealed that his father was blacklisted after going to South Africa during apartheid. After falling on hard times, the Gooding family was homeless, which Omar says didn't really bother him as much because it was all he knew. To hear more, including his brother booking acting roles as a kid, hit the above clip.

Vlad is always making incorrect comments to the people that he interviews. Omar is not best known for his role in 'Baby Boy'. Omar has done like 5 or 6 sitcoms, and other movies. Vlad only knows black celebrities for the ghetto roles that they play. Funny dude.
Vlad, how could you not know that Omar's father was the lead singer of 'Main Ingredient'? Who on earth didn't know that? LOL
@@davidspedden4211 Boy, you know you are listening to youngsters, when they make statements like "I didnt know that your father was the lead singer in the Main Ingredient". Who in the f didnt know that? I mean, really.
Kh
@@davidspedden4211 people also forget he was in the short lived Playmakers series on ESPN. That show was actually good before the NFL made a protest to get it taken off the air.
this dude's acting skills are highly overlooked, this ain't a situation where he riding the family name, he actually is very good
Yeah him and Cuba got their own lanes completely
He has great comedic timing. Him and Jason Weaver formed one of the Top 4 comedic duos in sitcom history along with Will & Carlton, Gus & Shawn and Turk & JD.
He's very Gooding.
Facts
Def a beast in this thespian game.
Him and Jason Weaver used to make me laugh so much on that Smart Guy show. Hilarious and great chemistry. That show was underrated.
Yea that was my show growing up
Facts! I watch it on Disney Plus lol
Hell yeah he was so funny on there
moe made that show he was the real star
Wish they had did a college version of them two after the show ended.
Woulda been like Dwayne/Ron from Different World mixed with KidNPlay mixed with Harold/Kumar. At least one season of that would have been hilarious.
Omar was always fun to watch in those classic shows from childhood!
wild and crazy kids was an awesome show
I love how he smiled when his brother's name was mentioned.
Right he was so proud 💯 That smile was genuine
yes! 🥰😍
50 needs to put him on one of his shows, give him that spotlight he deserves
I guess I'm in the minority, but he over-acts the "gangsta" part too much. He downplays it, and I'm sure seeing him on "wild & crazy kids" plays a part in this, he comes off as a kid born with a silver-spoon trying to convince everyone he's self-made and tough.
@@joshuacrawford3491 Joshua you look like you’ve never been near a gangsta in your life 🤣 but that’s was the point in acting that’s called satire . They portrayed him as the typical ignorant hood dude stereotype to bring a comedic angle into the movie
He sure does. As that hitter.
@RJM home boy called him an uppity negro in that comment smh like wtf? 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Underrated actor for sure. My generation would remember him more so from Smart Guy
No doubt..."He's a smart guyyyy. Yo brotha is smmmmartttt." Lol
hell yeaaa
He's a smart guy doo doo doodoo lol
To be a kid/teenager in the 90s was life
Yessir, Mo Tibbs and sweet pea from babyboy
@@antoniolewis 😅
I absolutely LOVED his smile at "you're brother is Cuba Gooding Jr." 😍 Brotherly love 💗
Hanging with Mr Cooper was a great show! It's good to see Omar Gooding getting his shine because he is just as talented as Cuba.
Hes soo underrated as an actor cause hes been typecasted in movies for so long.
Fact
It's like every character was the same but he got a chance to show his skills in baby boy.
Ikr
@Raven Jamon I hear u I can't stand when folks use the word underrated on TH-cam in the wrong context
@Raven Jamon facts bro thanks for the reply

Man had quotables the whole movie. 😂😂
@@dominiquedavis5152 BUSS!
😂😂😂😂
@@dominiquedavis5152 that’s a fact lol he stole a lot of moments in the movie
@@jerodhogue7885 the monologue when he and Jody were in the garage 😙👌🏽 *chef kiss* or when he was trying to sell the dress 😂
Everybody Plays the fool is a certified classic, and so, so true.
My man's has aged very well! Always been a fan of his work.
*Another slice of the life, of mister TJ Henderson, a super intelligent fine young gentlemen*
Lol
Yoo brother is smarrrttt
Lol
He’s a smart guyyyyyyyyyyy
Facts 😂
I've been a fan since "Wild n Crazy Kids." Dude is really talented.
I'm 40. I remember him being the silliest nigga alive on that show.
Nickolodeons best lmao
Nigga out here showing their age….I remember that show too, lol!
You had a great childhood too
I feel sorry for those who wasn't a kid in the 90's.
It’s good to see him & Jason Weaver not catch that child star curse. I hope to see them get some good roles in the near future, they seem easy to work with.
Almost thought I left this comment for a second until I saw the last name 😂
Dude seem like he’s in good spirits 💯
Everybody plays a fool is a timeless classic & still holds water til this day I just was listening to that joint
@TRU Sev On facts
@TRU Sev On true and false. We got some good music too but it gets overshadowed by garbage these days
Arron Neville version is better
Damn good song
No exception to the rule…
His character Mo in Smart Guy one of the funniest characters in TV at that time
Moe was a fool lmao. And to me he act better than his brother. Way moe believable lol
one of my favorite parts of the show too.
Him and Jason Waver were a dynamic dual. Played off each other flawlessly.
Facts he used to be like hello dere😂😂😂
He is so different then when be played in baby boy that shows how good of an actor he is and very underrated
First Marcus and now Moe?! Smart Guy in the house haha
Damn I loved that show!
Tahj Mowry is next… book it
😭
Please put Tahj Mowry, John Marshall Jones and Essence Atkins on here. That way DJ Vlad would have the whole Smart Guy cast on here.
Wild and crazy kids too. Look it up.
His family overcame so much adversity. Respect
This should be good
@techminds Spot on.
This man has real love an respect for his family and his upbringing and that’s what field his success 💯
The way bro story tells and articulates is on another level... Very Talented, you don’t see this in his characters smh.
Right i wonder if he’s a good rapper because he speaks fast and articulate his words very well
Omar has great energy, a great personality, good dude
🙏🏻
I missed this dude here man! This guy was funny as hell back in the day.
Babcock in the day??? Lmfao
@@genioallen1959 isn’t it obvious my spell check changed it? What are you, some kinda weirdo who gets kicks out of pointing out mistakes?
@@mrljlanier Nah bruv just doing my regular scrolling thought it was funny that’s all take a chill pill 💊… BTW YOUR WELCOME I SEE YOU FIXED IT
He was my favorite character on smart guy
@@genioallen1959 huh
He deserves more recognition! I remember his mother along with Cuba and Omar on the 700 Club it was a very old interview. Their mother told the story on how she always expected their dad to come back. So when they went to church she always saved a space for him on the church pew………and it eventually did come back and set in that seat. I never forgot the story she told. I love whenever I hear each of them speak their stories always connect.
****Right when I’m typing this Omar just some on how jus mom is Christian and would pray and sing in the car! LOL. Regardless who doing the interview; mom, Omar or Cuba their stories always connect❤️
As an expat South African I remember the Main Ingredient being huge over there. The song "you and me" was a big hit at that time. 👍
Know it from Sunday soul tapes-sessions back in the 80s; always wondered who sang it. Aaron Neville's version of Everybody Plays The Fool brought me to the outstanding original.
My guy looking healthy and happy!!! Love it
he still the same like that's hard 💯
Smart guy is where bro won me over as fan ,as well as Mr Cooper.
@doogie Five-Four 🤣🤣🤣🤣 do do dooo da doo doo da smart guuuy smart guuuy
Lmao MO
“Wild & Crazy Kids” was my go to show to watch when I was in elementary school.😀
his scene in baby boy about getting baptized is single handedly the most powerful scene in all of hollywood he spoke truth and gave inspiration
Yes! and the prayer he said with Jody that ended in ...."if you can't show us the way then forgive us for being lost"
What did he say
I’ll always remember him as Mo from Smart Guy 🙏🏼
Yo brother is smarrrtttttt
I loved Smart Guy
I’ve been waiting to hear his story. He been in the mix over 30 years. Respect 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
He plays apart of my childhood , just nostalgic seeing him he was in slot of my favorite movies , and loved smart guy we need those vibes in the 21st century
He was straight hilarious on "Hangin with Mr. Cooper".
Yes! I loved tha part when they were at the Korean store and tha owner says they can all have free slushies and when that fool says "can I get a hot dog?" I lost it!😭😭😭😭
Omar: But that’s another interview
Vlad: No, we’ll get to that in part 64
😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
LOL
💀
You know vlad's steelo
Lmfao😂😂😂😂💀
Vlad don't pay attention to what his guests says at times. Omar said his family was homeless and Vlad turned right around and asked if they were ever homeless. He did the same thing on the Boosie interview that's playing now.
He don't give a damn, what he cares is put people on the seat
Exactly!!! Listening skills are poor
I just said that😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣Ikr
Do you know how hard it is to stay engaged and have active listening in a conversation while also pivoting and transitioning the convo? I'm sure he also has a list of questions to ask. Happens sometimes
Who remembers Nickelodeon's "WILD and CRAZY KIDS?"
Absolutely!!!
I thought it was salute your shorts
@@Hustlerclub203 naw. I remember that one too! Lol. We old
@@bv3124 I just looked it up I think the kid from different strokes was in salute your shorts
The ginger kid from Different Strokes was Budnick on Salute
Yo I NEVER realized how similar O and Cuba’s tones of voice are.
He actually a good actor.
“U wanna hit em in the nose or the chin. Preferably the nose cause it’s softer.”
-SweetPea
Preferally...
Nigga you kno what I mean 🤜🏾
🤣🤣 💪🏽
It’s over then! Try again nigga!
🤣🤣🤣
I never realized how much he looks like his dad. Especially now that he has gotten older. Wow.
I was just singing this song yesterday. I also had no idea the Omar and Cuba were brothers or even their dad was the lead singer of this hit. I miss this man's energy on the screen.
I also had no idea they were related until this interview, and now I’m like how did I not know 😂
that record is still a CUTT!!! even after ALL these years. CLASSIC.
@TRU Sev On I agree, 1000%
No cap I constantly kept hearing that song all through my life at such random times
@@positivelight5226 yeah these women had me playing the r fool for longer than i care to admit.
“ I don't wanna reach the gates and Jesus be like: "Turn yo ass around “
Right
😂😂😂
Classic
Lmaoooo one of the best lines🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I’ve always loved all his characters in every thing he’s been in! Super talented !!!!
I grew up in the 90s watching Omar Gooding on Nikalodeon on Wild & Crazy kids when he was a teen and then he was big on Smart Guy. All of the celebrity kids lived in North Los Angeles the Valley.
I just heard the song "Everybody plays the fool" yesterday in a CVS while I was shopping. I was singing along with it not knowing it was Cuba and Omar's Father. Great Legacy!
😊
Main ingredient
Alicia keys samples are on you don’t know my name
I always like telling this story. My sister and brother in-law met Omar Gooding when they were in Vegas. This was about 2 years after Baby Boy came out. They told him I was a fan of his and he actually took the time to call me and say hi, although I missed the call. I really appreciated that over the years, it really showed his character of being down to earth. Needless to say, I regret missing that call. If he sees this, I want to wish him continued success, and thank him as a fan, for trying to reach out to me back in the day.😃 Take Care.
I just watched a little new movie with Omar and I had forgotten what a superlative Actor he is. Very natural and his smile is beautiful. I loved his dad and Main Ingredient! ❤
LOL! He just summarized the whole interview in this one part! 🤣🤣🤣
Glad said “Hold it hold it hold it! We’re gonna get to all that!”
This man and his Family are Legends. Wild and Crazy Kids was our show on Nickelodeon
I just said I know he was on wild and crazy kids
I remember that show
Loved that show
that's where he's from! wild n crazy kids was str8 ⛽️ 🔥 !!
“I gotta show you how its done Baby Boy!!! Gotta learn the one hitta quitta!!”
Already!!!!!
WOW, I NEVER KNEW HIS FATHER SUNG THOSE GREAT SONGS THAT I STILL JAM TO TODAY!!!!
I was just thinking about him today.
“When you gonna find me a job, Jodi?!”
Lmfao 😂
Everybody plays the fool and Dont Wana Be Lonely still gets rotation in my ride
People always mention Jerry Mcgire but Men Of Honor was a great movie by Cuba Gooding Jr. He stared aside Robert De Niro.
Radio also 😃
Damn cookie i want my twelve!!! Classic
I loved and hated that movie. I love Robert deniro but him playing a racist hurt my soul😭😭😭😭
@@christinagraham2915 he was racist cause of how he was raised. He grew to respect CUBA cause they both came from the country and both of them were mulehands and they were the best master divers. I think he respected cuba after that training accident when he never left his partner behind. Though he could have died he made sure the other diver came out. You saw the look he gave the dude when papi made him give him the medal.dude broke down and cried 😆 😆
@@kenzo7513 😫they just didn't expect him to do what he did. That movie is based on a real man who was the first navy diver who was an amputee
“Like I’m some scared lil boy!”
Love this man’s acting since Smart Guy lol
As a black South African, I’m quite saddened to hear that about your father’s story wow 💔😢. The world can be such a cruel place sometimes. We owe him a debt of gratitude 🙏🏽.
The smile on his face talking about his father..
In every role he plays he’s always the funniest dude in the room
"Everybody Plays" and "Lonely" were cool but SPINNING AROUND, though!!! 🎶I must be falling in loooove🎶
I'm spinning around and I can't stop...🎵🎵
Sho nuff jam....
Omar has always been a great actor and he's never disappointed in any of his roles. His journey from Hanging with Mr. Cooper to the №1 ESPN syndicated tv show Playmakers has been an incredible journey to see this brother give us nothing less than 110% on the big screen every time the camera was rolling. He's truly appreciated for being a big part of my childhood and it wouldn't have been the same without him, I Promise You That!!!!!👍😁😎👌
"Playmakers" was a good show! Omar stood out in it.
@@Melrose-1 Absolutely his role in the movie Baby Boy landed him that role in the show for sure. Too bad it only lasted one season. The NFL begged ESPN to cancel the show. They felt it exposed and shined a negative light on how things really are in the league. People always wondered how a #1 show could end after just one season. The NFL got exposed for the meat factory it really is. It's no love in it. It's all lies, crime, and fraud unfortunately so.😳
This is my man right here. Watch how good and entertaining 1-34 is about to be. Mr. "1 hitter quitter" himself.
“Let me show you how it’s done, BabyBoyyy”🤣
@@johntaparnell847 oh you got heart lil nigga!? 🤦🏽♂️🤣😂
Cuba Sr. was a great singer and performer, Happiness is just around the bend I think is my favorite joint by them.
He's a talented actor and I always liked him in Baby Boy and all his other stuff. Seems like a good dude
His father also sang the song sampled for Alicia Keys - You Don’t Know My Name 🎵 ( Main Ingredient - Let Me Prove My Love To You) . My favorite song by them.
Incredible sample. Especially adding the piano keys
nahhhhh I didn't kno that see now I have to back and listen lol thanks for the fact
@@deshaundozier loved that song
@doogie Five-Four A lot folks didn't know he produced that. Kanye is certainly ahead of his time.
Let me prove my love to you is my fave and the bells by the labelles they had hits in their era our era 😟🥴😟🥴😟
Love or hate the man, Vlad knows how to get interviews
Vlad that nigga
mannn
Na its about the clout who wouldn't wanna be on one of the top media sites its about the exposure they want to reach other crowds i don't think they go for Vlad 🤣
@@getmoney8751 😂
@@pacojuanrico you mean that officer
Wow, I remember this actor as a child and teen actor when I was a child and teenager in the late 1980s to late 1990s. I will never forget actor Omar Gooding in the movie Ghost Dad.
Yessir that everybody plays the fool and just don’t want to be lonely are classic bangers!!
Everybody plays a fool is one of the realest songs ever I'm 35 and play that in my playlist but dam to be Omar daddy these dudes be from rich royalty already shit crazy sweet for most of y'all privileged real talk
Glad always setting up the best interviews I didn’t know I needed. 💯
No doubt
This is exactly what I thought after hitting the play button
I wish he brought lord jamars old ass back
Good to hear from omar it’s a nostalgic interview for me and he emphasized a lot on his sentences !
He was a big part of my childhood this a humble down earth guy definitely hope someday work with him
Many people hate Vlad and tell you not to watch Vlad yet he brings you people from the culture that we never hear from
FACTS
Vlad drops some dope interviews
Truth! I been saying this since he did the Fab Millie Vanillie interview 5 years ago. Dudes like Lord Jamar and Joe Budden not doing this at all. Yet they want to call out a platform that is because he personally pissed them off.
@@nlee4566 facts ,I remember watching that whole interview in the Gym like it was yesterday. I never knew I wanted to hear from that guy 😂
"Man yo brother is smarrrrrrrT" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 use to love that program 💪💪
This dude played 16 until he was 35!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯
Incredible man, his smile lights the room brighter than the lamps, much respect to Omar Gooding.
Another unexpected Vlad interview. 💯... Omar is talented!! Should be good!!
Big facts
I remember seeing him on wild and crazy kids
Glad I’m not the only one who remembers that he was on that show quite a bit back in the day.
@@trillfa9774 gotta be in your mid to late 30s to remember that
@@calvinterrell9775 Mostly true but I do remember when Nick Gas was a thing on TV in the early to mid 2000s. It was devoted to all the more athletic Nick shows which included Wild & Crazy kids. I'm sure they was new to a lot of people back then.
I love Omar Gooding I grew up watching him he is so funny and talented I’m glad I caught this interview
I've always loved his smile and roles! True gem of the 90's and 2000's!!
I loved his hardcore role in the pro football show on HBO.
Playmakers!!! NFL got mad and had it canceled because it took actual things that happened behind the scenes even if its dramatized.
Yessir!
I remember watching that show Tuesday nights after my middle school football games. I was so mad it didn't get a 2nd season atleast.
Yeah DH was his name. Drug addicted superstar running back. Thought that show was pretty good.
Anyway we can push for a reboot? Lol that show was ahead if its time and a lot of shows like ballers bites off of it. But right now it be perfect lol
Finally ! I was a big fan of "Smart Guy"
Mannnn this my DUDE!!!! Happy and Grateful for this 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I've always loved this guy!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I like Omar a lot. Hugh fan i think he's very underrated as an actor
I feel like a wild & crazy kid from the 90s watching this interview, He raised me 🥲 sorry TK LOL
Wild and crazy kids. Salute your Shorts oh the good ole days 😔
The Adventures of Pete and Pete lol
Wild and crazy kids that was 1 of my favorite shows bruh.
wi-wi- wi- wild and crazy, wild and crazy. the theme song still stuck in my head
@@dawb86 You're a real one for that pete and pete name drop. that show raised me too. lol
This dude is so poised during the interview, but all I hear when he talks is Mo saying “Yo brotha is smaaart” 😂
I hope that book get's published and a movie made. Cuba could portray his father spot on!
Big big fan of Omar Gooding. Glad you did this one Vlad
The Main Ingredient have a lot of good songs!
With you is my favorite song by them
Let me prove my love to you 🥰🥰
Yo! I used to love this cat! I didn't know his father sang that song, shout out to him and his family.
Wild and Crazy Kids... Damn I feel old. Fun show as a kid on Nick
I remember that shit.
