Yes, it’s a mixture of both watching and doing, but the point still stands that it comes from past errors which helps to mature an individual. Thank you so much for strengthening my point.
OUTLAW_ BUCKEYE uh the dumb fucks in America disgust me , you sound so fuckin dumb. Nobody gives a shit about tour livelihood as long as they can take a chunk of what you slave for to fatten their pockets and spend on bullshit projects.
"You win some, you lose some, but you LIVE! You live to fight another day! You think you a man with that gun dont you?" "I'm a man without it.." "Put the gun down son.....now you a man!" My most favorite part of the Friday franchise! I love Mr. Witherspoon!
John Witherspoon is like a second Dad to me and a lot of people who grew up watching him. Waynes Bros, and Friday are timeless and couldn't exist without him. Its good to see Pops💪
That's nothing new sweetie guy's like Charlie Murphy and Paul Mooney have been writing for other comic's. Charlie wrote for his brother Eddie and Dave Chappelle.
@Psalm 139 Monique's issues with Netflix don't appear to be valid. She expected to get paid the same amount of money as people who appeal to a way larger audience than she does, as a comedian. She even tried to use an award she won, years ago as a _dramatic actress,_ to justify why she should be paid more for her _comedy special._ Did she maybe deserve more money? It's possible. All negotiations surrounding compensation are subjective to a degree. But to compare herself to people who are actively drawing larger crowds, while she regularly plays relatively smaller venues and hasn't had a comedic role in years that justifies her ask, then blame it on racism when those arguments don't hold up, is disingenuous. Was she onto something? Sure, that's how hijacking an issue works. However, just because black women experience systemic racism and sexism doesn't mean that every single roadblock they face comes down to that. And don't think that just because I'm a man I'm not incapable of understanding. Otherwise you're no better than those who refuse to look past your gender when you try to make a valid point. I admittedly have not had the female experience, but I'm aware enough to call a spade a spade. And that's all I'll say.
@Psalm 139 I'm not even a fan of Amy, especially after the joke stealing allegations, but Amy Schumer's audience is way larger than Monique's and, as a comedian, Amy Schumer was relevant and actively had jobs in her industry around the time of her special. Her audience for her movies, shows, and stand-up can be used to estimate how well her special would do. What did Monique have? Didn't she star in another dramatic movie around that time? And then there's her stand up, but who in the media really talked about that until she started calling out Oprah & Lee? I mean, Amy Schumer regularly plays at venues like the Paramount Theater (capacity 3664), while Monique regularly plays at places like Nyack Levity Live (capacity 400). And who knows how regularly they tour and any variation in the capacity of the venues they play along the way, that only further complicates things. That the two are even being compared is nonsense. Amy Schumer in this era is in a whole other league commercially. Her audience is large enough for her to demand millions because companies can count on her making that money back. Can we say the same for Monique? No. Like I said there were probably ways for Monique to negotiate upwards, but she hadn't done anything, as a comedian, in a while. You can even go to some of her old stand-up videos and read people saying they forgot she even did stand up. Nobody forgot Amy Schumer did stand up. Netflix is going to pay based on how much money they think they can get off her name. If I was an executive at Netflix I'd pay Monique more money to star in a dramatic role than do a comedy special. That seems to be where she has excelled most recently. But otherwise she's not as much of a draw as a Schumer, Chappelle, or Rock as a comedian. So, why would anyone compensate her in a way that is comparable to any of them?
@Psalm 139 I'm already aware that the venue Amy plays is 9 times larger hence why I commented that we don't know the frequency of the venues they play, the variation of sizes in between, and also noted that Amy has other projects outside of stand up that were relevant and more recent than Monique. Furthermore, while you or I don't have any idea the specific formula Netflix uses to calculate how much they pay people, they've hinted they try to figure out how much of an audience a special is going to draw. If that's the case it's easy to see why comedians like Schumer make so much more money than what was offered to Monique. She's far more relevant and far more likely to recoup the money spent on her because she's actively doing things that demonstrate how many people she can draw. And as far as white comedians not being given opportunities based on their "latest genre" of work. That's has nothing to do with my point. My point is that if you had to figure out how much money either would bring in for a comedy special, Amy's recent work speaks for itself in terms of her ability to draw a crowd. When did Netflix take Amy's _entire body of work into account?_ They don't seem to take anyone's _entire body of work_ into account. They do indeed seem to go by now much they think their name will draw. And there's various ways of trying to figure that out. Amy, Chappelle, and Rock had been active enough to prove what they could do. Chappelle had sold out Radio City Music Hall, like, what? 6 times and had been touring around that. Plus his show is still wildly popular and I'm sure it still does well on streaming platforms. You can even look at someone like Eddie Murphy. He's a little harder to suss out, but being that he's coming out of retirement, and had a legendary career as a stand up and comedian he's going to draw way more than Monique ever would. People still talk about his specials and companies can literally see how well they're selling on various platforms. What does Monique have to really fall back on? Where's her leverage? Her specials don't have the same reverence, The Parkers is still beloved by many, but hardly compares to something like the Chappelle Show, and the only thing she was doing comedy related was her stand-up in which she draws well, but not in the league of comedians who were paid way more than her. Otherwise, she had been busy making waves outside of comedy and a special by her was not highly anticipated by a large audience. So why wouldn't there be a huge disparity between her and Schumer? Why not be paid 26 times more ? Because your argument seems to be that it seems too high of a difference, all while ignoring that there's a _huge_ difference in drawing ability and visibility of both comedians. Amy has had projects built entirely around just her and can use them to demonstrate her drawing ability. What did Monique have? Monique hasn't demonstrated that she would be able to draw an audience anywhere close to Schumer's for a comedy special. Monique's career, as a comedian, stalled over a decade ago. She does very well, but she's not in the league of Amy Schumer commercially. Monique hasn't had any notable comedic project that drew a mass audience in a very long time. Schumer has had plenty. That's the point. Monique, at some point, became known more for her talk show and dramatic roles than for her comedy. So, for her to then go back to comedy and expect to be in a ballpark of someone who was relevant and has an audience that far exceeds hers is nonsense. If she started comparing herself to other comedians who kind of weren't doing much related to comedy outside of stand up, and regularly played venues that seated ~400 people, and we found out she was offered far less for a special than them, then she'd have a case. But instead she compared herself to someone who's drawing ability is incomparable. So you can talk about your degrees and what you regularly study, but that doesn't link back to the case with Monique and Netflix. Who's a more comparable comedian commercially that had a special on Netflix and was offered far more than Monique? What projects old or new or could we use from Monique, to predict how well Monique's special would sell? Does she have a comedy special that's doing well on a streaming platform or selling well in stores? Has she been in a comedic role in a major project that is still selling well to this day? What do we have to go off of here? Because otherwise you're just arguing that it's "too high" in the absence of evidence. Meanwhile Amy's demonstrated her drawing ability in various ways recently while Monique has not. And that's what gives her the leverage to demand higher compensation. Edit: I just searched for her special Play Music you can tell she doesn't even have anyone watching out for her on platforms like that. It's buried under the work of someone else with the same name. So it's hard to find even if you spell her name correctly. And guess what that does? That takes away from views she could be getting, which she could then use as leverage to get paid more. There's just so much wrong with how she's being handled and the decisions she's made I could write a damn book.
@Psalm 139 Your college education is irrelevant if you're not actually privy to any more information regarding the disagreement between Netflix and Monique than anyone else. It's not like you brought up any concepts that anyone isn't familiar with. Just because you have a degree in something doesn't mean you don't still have to actually argue your point or provide rationale. There's plenty of questions you can't answer to even begin to justify your position. And you can argue "It's sexist" all you want but that's a pathetic cop-out. Arguing that of two women, one received considerably higher compensation due to the fact they recently demonstrated they can draw a much larger audience is hardly sexist. You're racist for thinking that it is. That last line is sarcasm in case you didn't pick up on it. I'm not sure if they covered that in any of your classes. Edit: And you claimed white actors were given offers based on their entire body of work. Right? The point was Netflix doesn't seem to just say "Oh hey you've done this throughout your career so we're going to give you *x* amount of dollars." They don't seem to just pay people based on their body of work. Every person that Monique was compared to was active _and/or_ their past works were still making money *now.* So your point is moot unless you can demonstrate how Netflix paid someone based merely on their body of work. Monique doesn't appear to have any past body of work that is selling well now and she currently isn't doing much outside of stand up at smaller venues than everyone else. So, unless you can demonstrate that she's getting paid less than someone on Netflix with a more comparable situation, your point is just a feeling based around how much money someone way out of her league in terms of drawing ability, is making.
I'm going to say this and then I'm out, no need to respond because I'm a teacher not a debater or troll that's going to go back and forth. With that said, anyone on Netflix can be seen by millions rather you are a star. Millions watch regardless or not. Monique is very popular in the Black community which Amy is not. Monique is very popular in the white community as well and if she's seen on a national stage she would be far more popular than Amy. I never her of her before this, I i listen to comedians. Monique is still relevant it's just she didn't make nice with the right people.
It didn't come out until he died so I agree its bs because Mork and Mindy was hot I was there when it first aired he was the shit so if he was stealing jokes it would have been the end of his career ...it's like me being a hip hop artist and stealing L L,s shit
Getting 1 million for a role doesn't just get thrown around . He is a classic actor but never been a leading actor in huge box office flick . Be realistic . The Friday movies are cult classics world wide
John was a goddamn king. He tells the truth and keeps it real. John was so funny and relatable because he had no damn filter. The world has lost a gem.
snowblo1 a few years back I used to work with someone that used to work for him. The one thing they had to say about him was that he was very generous so much so that he used to keep cash in his office and used to always take care of all the people that used to work for him or with him especially when they were in need.
What I love about people like John is pure honesty and couldn’t care less what people think. Does what makes him happy. Could learn a lot from folk like him 👍🏻
josh lowe I haven't watched them yet, I'm tryna hold out. Vlad plays to much stringing folks along. Lol that's why I said I can't wait for the full interview.
Marlon Smith well it's all show business I guess you will be like me because I don't respect 98.9 % of the people in what's called modern day entertainment. rip redd foxx,robin harris,and so many other comics
Then you'll find alot of things not to respect. I respect people that get helped to make their stuff better. I can't respect today's youth lay over rap garbage with no help.
I love Monique!!! She deserved more money than those other female comedians she spoke of.. The prominent people she spoke of did disappoint her and I applaud her for keeping it real.
mrfrankcastle083 not much now, 3k free money, 12.5K in 401k. I had to move some capital. I just bought my first duplex 6 days ago at 24. In two weeks I should have my own business. So give me some time lol.

He ain't lying Crawford it really do only be 1 black comedian really really popping at a time remember Hannibal Buress should he popped off for a little bit then look what happened as soon as he speak on Bill Cosby same thing with Katt Williams then what now they're trying to do with his boys extorting him it's a scary world in the comedian game make it to the top at your own cautiousness
Legendary iconic black comedian John Witherspoon his catalog is impeccable and oh yeah shout out 2 The Wayans Brothers for making him pops on they show
he's funny just not all the time, he's animated. its a different type of comedy, his personality. plus, not everybody is like you, the sooner you learn that the better
Thank you so much Mr. John Witherspoon for all the funny tv shows and movies you made. I will never forget you from the Wayans bro and Friday movies. You was a good remodel playing pops on the TWB I learned alot from watching you. In loving memory of John Witherspoon.

If she started comparing herself to other comedians who kind of weren't doing much related to comedy outside of stand up, and regularly played venues that seated ~400 people, and we found out she was offered far less for a special than them, then she'd have a case. But instead she compared herself to someone who's drawing ability is incomparable.
So you can talk about your degrees and what you regularly study, but that doesn't link back to the case with Monique and Netflix.
Who's a more comparable comedian commercially that had a special on Netflix and was offered far more than Monique? What projects old or new or could we use from Monique, to predict how well Monique's special would sell?
Does she have a comedy special that's doing well on a streaming platform or selling well in stores? Has she been in a comedic role in a major project that is still selling well to this day? What do we have to go off of here? Because otherwise you're just arguing that it's "too high" in the absence of evidence. Meanwhile Amy's demonstrated her drawing ability in various ways recently while Monique has not. And that's what gives her the leverage to demand higher compensation.
Edit: I just searched for her special Play Music you can tell she doesn't even have anyone watching out for her on platforms like that. It's buried under the work of someone else with the same name. So it's hard to find even if you spell her name correctly. And guess what that does? That takes away from views she could be getting, which she could then use as leverage to get paid more. There's just so much wrong with how she's being handled and the decisions she's made I could write a damn book.
@Psalm 139 Your college education is irrelevant if you're not actually privy to any more information regarding the disagreement between Netflix and Monique than anyone else. It's not like you brought up any concepts that anyone isn't familiar with. Just because you have a degree in something doesn't mean you don't still have to actually argue your point or provide rationale. There's plenty of questions you can't answer to even begin to justify your position. And you can argue "It's sexist" all you want but that's a pathetic cop-out. Arguing that of two women, one received considerably higher compensation due to the fact they recently demonstrated they can draw a much larger audience is hardly sexist. You're racist for thinking that it is.
That last line is sarcasm in case you didn't pick up on it. I'm not sure if they covered that in any of your classes.
Edit: And you claimed white actors were given offers based on their entire body of work. Right? The point was Netflix doesn't seem to just say "Oh hey you've done this throughout your career so we're going to give you *x* amount of dollars." They don't seem to just pay people based on their body of work. Every person that Monique was compared to was active _and/or_ their past works were still making money *now.* So your point is moot unless you can demonstrate how Netflix paid someone based merely on their body of work. Monique doesn't appear to have any past body of work that is selling well now and she currently isn't doing much outside of stand up at smaller venues than everyone else. So, unless you can demonstrate that she's getting paid less than someone on Netflix with a more comparable situation, your point is just a feeling based around how much money someone way out of her league in terms of drawing ability, is making.
I'm going to say this and then I'm out, no need to respond because I'm a teacher not a debater or troll that's going to go back and forth. With that said, anyone on Netflix can be seen by millions rather you are a star. Millions watch regardless or not. Monique is very popular in the Black community which Amy is not. Monique is very popular in the white community as well and if she's seen on a national stage she would be far more popular than Amy. I never her of her before this, I i listen to comedians. Monique is still relevant it's just she didn't make nice with the right people.
I love this man. His cooking show is bomb AF.
Marcia Boland he has a cooking show?on what channel or site or whatever
@@miss0lialei TH-cam
@@stevenjp911 ok thanks I thought I was on something else.
😧🤔🤯
A cooking show?
People always forget little man he was really funny in that movie rip John
Tony Miller He was great in little man. It really was a nice character to really embrace johns style. Glad you mentioned that.
He seems so down to earth and real ... he's straight up with the interviewer
This is a legend 🙌🏾
media kept real quiet about robin williams stealing jokes
SetlevzMedia I️ wonder white🤔
It didn't come out until he died so I agree its bs because Mork and Mindy was hot I was there when it first aired he was the shit so if he was stealing jokes it would have been the end of his career ...it's like me being a hip hop artist and stealing L L,s shit
SetlevzMedia I wonder why. By the way, I subbed sub back
subbed bk dawg
ScarcityStudios he has to be in his 70s
They never paid this man a mil for a movie? Wow. We are really getting railroaded in hollyowod.
Peaceistheanswer27 he hasent really been in any big movies
Getting 1 million for a role doesn't just get thrown around . He is a classic actor but never been a leading actor in huge box office flick . Be realistic .
The Friday movies are cult classics world wide
bruh Robert Downey Jr got half a mil for the first Iron Man, let that sink in..
Peaceistheanswer27 Hollywood man. Lol.
Peaceistheanswer27 Damn shame. By the way, I subbed sub back
John was a goddamn king. He tells the truth and keeps it real. John was so funny and relatable because he had no damn filter. The world has lost a gem.
This man is stone cold truth! Tells it like it is, no extra gravy and facts 💯! I like his comedy, but I like him in this interview EVEN better!
"Asses in the seats" lol
This man been around a long time. I remember he was in an episode of “What’s Happenin”. RIP Pops
Lmao 😂 at “I’m too tall to be a Kevin Hart type”
Lavell is hilarious!
When he passed it felt like one of my own.I will truly miss him.
Damn, that was awfully generous of David Letterman. Wish I had friends like that.
snowblo1 a few years back I used to work with someone that used to work for him. The one thing they had to say about him was that he was very generous so much so that he used to keep cash in his office and used to always take care of all the people that used to work for him or with him especially when they were in need.
What I love about people like John is pure honesty and couldn’t care less what people think. Does what makes him happy. Could learn a lot from folk like him 👍🏻
Spoon seems like hes down to earth, humble man.
Honest type of man. Dont make them like this anymore. RIP MR funny.
Love John Witherspoon! He was a model for Kangol and suits back in the 70's
He was funny as hell in soul plane to remember him acting like he was blind lol 😂
R.i.p

You ain't no baby!!! 😂😂.... Soul Plane
He was fingering the potato😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol.......wow. you Right
Kevin Hart ain't shit never been funny
I was super blessed to see him live on stage in Tampa! Such a great talent!
I'll always remember him as POPS from the wayans bros.
"You know me first thing in the morning" BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!!!!
Legend💫
one of the best vladtv interviews in years
Kevin Hart is not funny
Kz5ive ok
Kz5ive damon is dope him and marlon are the funniest in the whole family
Agreed
quan Brooklyn kid I agree!!
@@brianstone3722 yes you right
I literally had to walk out his stand up to catch my breathe I was laughing so hard. Funny man
Thank you John for my years of laughing as a kid and my adult years...... BANG BANG BANG DO YOUR THANG WITH HEAVENS ANGELS
Damn just like rappers I can't respect comedians who don't write they own material
Marlon Smith I agree bro
Marlon Smith well it's all show business I guess you will be like me because I don't respect 98.9 % of the people in what's called modern day entertainment. rip redd foxx,robin harris,and so many other comics
Then you'll find alot of things not to respect. I respect people that get helped to make their stuff better. I can't respect today's youth lay over rap garbage with no help.
I love Monique!!! She deserved more money than those other female comedians she spoke of.. The prominent people she spoke of did disappoint her and I applaud her for keeping it real.
y did I bust out laughing when he said "WITHERSPOON COME HERE"
This man is the purest 110.5% finest salt out there, walking legend alive!
“They may not be funny 😂actors “ lol 😂
I really think we need someone to bring back a platform for black comics. I'm going to do that if I get the money in a decade.
DropSixteenTV Tv
You got 119 months left. How much have you saved, so far?
mrfrankcastle083 not much now, 3k free money, 12.5K in 401k. I had to move some capital. I just bought my first duplex 6 days ago at 24. In two weeks I should have my own business. So give me some time lol.
@@mrfrankcastle083 I did complete launching my new food vendor business and it's been successful, even got another event tomorrow. Ima grind and get another multifamily by 2020, hopefully a fourplex.
He ain't lying Crawford it really do only be 1 black comedian really really popping at a time remember Hannibal Buress should he popped off for a little bit then look what happened as soon as he speak on Bill Cosby same thing with Katt Williams then what now they're trying to do with his boys extorting him it's a scary world in the comedian game make it to the top at your own cautiousness
"David Chappelle" - OG had me wondering who that was for a second...😂👍
I love this man. He brings me smiles just looking at him and he talks truth
Legendary iconic black comedian John Witherspoon his catalog is impeccable and oh yeah shout out 2 The Wayans Brothers for making him pops on they show

I don't get why people like Kevin Hart. He's just NOT funny.
10 writers and still not funny
Agreed
he's funny just not all the time, he's animated. its a different type of comedy, his personality. plus, not everybody is like you, the sooner you learn that the better
@@joeturtleneck2300 the better for who? He dont pay my bills or get rid of my stress so shut up old kevin was funny. my Opinion
EXACTLY SMDH
Thank you so much Mr. John Witherspoon for all the funny tv shows and movies you made. I will never forget you from the Wayans bro and Friday movies. You was a good remodel playing pops on the TWB I learned alot from watching you. In loving memory of John Witherspoon.
