Watching this as an adult, as crazy as someone like Rolly would drive me, I can give him props for being calm, cool, and collected and never letting anyone pressure him.
I could remember watching these shows when I was six or seven or eight with my mom. We made popcorn and watched 227 before this, the most innocent and best time of my life because I had so many good memories with my mother rest in peace.
OMG! Same exact scenario except it was with my grandmother! We did the lineup on Sat nights....227, Amen, Golden Girls, and Empty Nest! Best times of my life... I miss my granny 👵
Jester Hairston was such an incredibly talented man. His contributions to the music world far outweigh anything else he did. One of my most treasured possessions is my copy of one of his choir numbers that he directed our college choir on back in the early 80's. I was the accompaniest on that song so I asked him to autograph my copy. What a warm & wonderful person he was.
@@unclebrother6244 Interesting indeed 🤔 but remember we had Apartheid here during those years up to until 1994.. so it's possible black people shows were not aired 🤷🏾♂️
Rest In Paradise Jester Hairston and Sherman Hemsley you both are truly missed 🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️❤️❤️
Soon as he says “weeeellllll” then you already know to just say forget it 😂😂😂

Big facts! He reminds me of the old deacons
The fact that he could bring out a handkerchief and the audience looses it says everything

Jester Hairston, born in my old home Rockingham County, North Carolina. Proud of his being one of our own! :-D
Lol 😂 I loved Rolly
I love this show, especially as a kid

This was great!! Thanks COZI!!
I couldn't stop laughing 😂😅
Rolly the Ed Norton of this show
"Welll..." [handkerchief out, glasses off...]😂
They just don’t make tv shows like this anymore!!!
Amen! 😇
"They're clean, Rolly, they're clean!!"
I love me some Rolly❤❤❤
This was so completely funny
I loved this show.. watching it once a week couldn't wait for the next episode.. it was around years 1999/2000
South Africa 🇿🇦
Amen originally ran from 1986 to 1991. I find it interesting that it didn't make its way to South African until 99/00.

Jester Hairston was a hilarious old man.
In Amen, Jester Hairston played Rolly Forbes, an elder church member, who often acts as the voice of reason.
