She’s one of those actors you can watch on anything.
She's someone I grew up with, watching on TV. This tribute is well deserved.
She did a good job as Will's mom on Fresh Prince.
She did.
She did a GREAT job 👏🏿
She was incredible as Will's mom...
Yea
She did. I hated the character though I always felt she was a biotch.
Met her ages ago in Hollywood heading to the market....Very humble woman.
Thank you Ms. Watson ✨
😃😃😃😇🥰😍
Wooow, she has starred in everything and she hasn't changed a bit. What an awesome career!
"You're moving with your Aunty and Uncle in Bel-air." *- Vie Smith*
She's definitely not forgotten, she's on several shows including general hospital, change your headline!!
She’s been working on General Hospital lately, recurring. She plays Aunt Stella and she won a daytime emmy recently.
I remember her from Norman is that you ?
I swear. These unforgotten videos always sound like a high school student reading a book report to his class. But they’re always very informative and entertaining. So props to CH for the great content.
Lol 😆
Well, damn!😂
Bruh she was definitely underrated I love her
Talk about underrated! This extremely talented woman was a "Sweathog" on the "Welcome Back Kotter" TV show...she has put in the work! 👑
Exactly, I playfully call my kids the sweathogs Crew
Yes, she was one of my childhood crushes, along with Bernadette Stanis, Jayne Kennedy, and Sister Sledge. She was also in a movie with John Travolta called "Boy In A Plastic Bubble". Also a nurse on episodes of Big Bang Theory.
You got that right..she will always be remembered 💚
She’s still beautiful too
Fasho!💯
She a legend. Love these unforgotten segments 👏🏿💯
She looks good for her age. She's been in the acting game for a very long time. She has a lot of wisdom to pass on to someone who's looking to get in the business.
I love the fact that she didn't take any BS as Will Smith Mom on the FRESH PRINCE!
Reminds me of my mom
Ikr
That's a trip. Seen her in Antoine Fisher last night and on The Fresh Prince while flipping channels today.
She looks the exact same she’s a legend she’s legit been in everything she was great in Welcome Back Kotter
“Boy WHERE do you get off…DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL”
That manger was scared. That was so funny when I was young.
Love her, it’s something about certain actors & actresses that will have you captivated in them. She definitely had it.
Damn she accomplished sooo much. Every show worth a damn the past 30 years she's been on. Amazing!!
Divaaaaaaa lol
I loved her role as Vi/Will Smith mother ❤ she still look good
I remember Vernee Watson from Sanford & Son, Good Times, That's My Mama, The Jefferson's, What's Happening and so on. I'm surprise she's not bigger than what she is now.
Just because more people are hooked on fake "reality shows" and social media, doesn't mean some of the legends are unforgotten. Some people actually work on Creditable shows. This legend is still active. But thanks for bringing her to the for front again. But next time, show their most current work.
You Forgot to add; She’s on TV Til’ Dis Day 🥰! She’s on - Bob Hearts Abishola on CBS & She’s Great on that show as well.
I'm surprised they did not acknowledge that. She also popped up on a few episodes of "Big Bang Theory".
Yep she's so gd
I remember her from the tv show "Carter Country" and her from episodes of " What's Happening"....years before "Fresh Prince"
Handle it handle it Roy
Yooo u took it bak wit Carter Country lol yea she was on a couple diff black shows way b4 Fresh Prince
She has aged very well
She's now on CBS's "Bob Hearts Abishola." They have started to give her more lines on it, but she works whatever lines she gets. A true talent!
Thoroughly enjoyed the episode where they solely focused on her character being a med student etc back in the day, after Abershola put her down for not finishing school to become a Dr. Love the show w/ her in it, but Abershola can get on my nerves big time sometimes. LOL
She was just in a commercial recently telling her son in-law to "watch his mouth" lol
She represented a strong, passionate outspoken black woman with morals, principles and values!!✊🏾👊🏾👍🏾💪🏾🙏🏾👸🏾♥️💯
My cousin used to live next door to her back in the day…she also played Vernajean (sp?) on Welcome Back, Kotter. She’s STILL doing her thing!
I think her and Will should reunite for a movie where she can be his mom once again. Full circle type of scenario... 😁
She was one of my many celebrity crushes growing up.
Aunt Vi is not forgotten‼️‼️ she plays a nurse....on...Bob loves Abishola.... on CBS
Yes, give the flowers while she’s still here 🌹🌸🌺🌻🌼💐
I saw her on a commercial recently
Y’all have to understand that the title of this segment is “Unforgotten” meaning that these people are memorable and unforgettable. Plus, not everyone watches a lot of tv. Updates are nice.
She a legend
She currently starts in the CBS show "Bob Hearts Abishola".
I hate that show lol
My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. izetta Karp played Will's other mom in the opening credits of every episode. Mrs. Karp also played Nipsy's mother in "Black Dynamite" and Ms. Rose in "I Got the Hookup."
@Jayzo Black Mamba Jr SMH was that really necessary.
@Jayzo Black Mamba Jr No you was being sarcastic
Awesome
@Jayzo Black Mamba Jr If your intentions was good then it should not bother you.I guess it was not.
Thank you for that. I used to wonder who the opening people were..
Shout out to comedy hype for the stellar journalism
She always reminded me of my best friend’s mom.
Salute to another Black Queen of Hollywood. She's always stayed classy in front of the camera.
This was one of my favorites y’all done…Good job!!!
Wonderful. I remembered her from commercial first. She is from NYC nice me too.
Thanks for the information and now she's on the show Bob hearts Abishola as the head nurse doing a great job as that character
She's currently in a commercial now...I think playing the mother in law. I don't remember the product though.
@Mony Mon That's right...she's a nurse colleague of Abishola.
How is she on not forgotten? She has been on a bunch of things
I hope she sees this. So beautifully done! 💐
I remember her from “The Love Boat 🛥 “ , “Good Times” , and “Soul Food “ 📺
she should be on the Hollywood walk of fame ..
Now she's on Bob❤️'s Abishola. It's on CBS. She is definitely an icon. She is also one of the funniest ppl on that show.
Wonderful tribute to Ms. Watson and well deserved in getting her flowers now!
I remember her on Carter Country. As a kid, I was so elated to see her face on my television. ❤️
Why didn’t it mention Room 222, it meant a lot as a kid to see her and Denise Nichols on there. To see a semblance of yourself b4 Soul Train was a huge deal to us…I remember her fondly for tht 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love her, shes def one of the greats, she deserve her flowers she's a versatile actress 💐💐
I met Her one time at a birthday party getting a autograph on Her website promotion picture called Will Smith’s Mom that I still got til this day
Love her on Bob 💜 Abishola! 👍🏽🙂
I just saw her in a commercial she looks so good....
She was in everything.
This sista has been in the game for 40 plus years.
They said 60+. That's not a legend. That ICONIC status!!!!
The Queen of Eye Rolls...chyleeee she can do them eye rolls like no other 🤣🤣
I don't know tv without her. A constant familiar face throughout the years. Miss Vernee has been legendary well before fresh prince. They were lucky to have her. Incredible career! 👏 👏 👏 and 🌹 🥀 now.
Excellent piece of work!
Hol up, she was on a Pup Named Scooby Doo. Damn😱🙌
I love these unforgotten videos
I love that you give a platform to give our favorite entertainers their flowers. Bravo!
Im glad she was always brought back as his mom and not replaced
She's on the Pinesol commercial.
Renee Watson is a great actress .. Renee Watson is a LEGEND .👍🏻
Love how you guys do this.
Great actress
* I REMEMBER SHE USE TO PLAY ON CARTER COUNTRY*
"wills mom" 🤣
She was an actress way before the fresh prince
I always thought that Ms. Watson was a beautiful woman.
I went to school with her daughter and we still occasionally see her around. She is a kind and humble woman.
Thanks for this ☺️
No mention of her small but hilarious role on the Keye and Peele show. Though she hardly said anything, what she did say was funny as hell.
Vie Smith!!!! Reminds me of my mom!
Nothing happened to her she’s thriving and still working after decades in the industry. She needs her flowers now! True Legend and worked with some of the past “Greats”.
This is silly.... if you're a "TV watcher" you'll know she's never disappeared.
I wouldn't ever have know her as Will's mother, lmao. I thought Charlayne Woodard played his mom. I will always, ALWAYS remember her as Freddy Boom-Boom Washingtons girlfriend. I'm glad she's getting more recognition now, I've always liked her.
I didn’t even know she was so accomplished. I only know her from Fresh Prince. Thanks for the video. My favourite scene of hers is when she threatened to beat up the car salesman in FPOBA. 🤣
She’s still acting she’s on the CBS Show “Bob Hearts Abishola” and she’s still on a few tv commercials; This woman has never stopped acting.
Yes I used to always say wow she plays his mom like they been knowing each other for a long time I love this lady why wasn't she bought back for reunion
I love everything she has done! Rip Uncle Phil and Uncle Bernie Mac!
Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington's girlfriend on Welcome Back Kotter. Enough said
I love the title of the book because I’ve seen and loved for years and never knew her name but now I do and I’m sure won’t ever forget it 💣💣❤️❤️👍🏾
Definitely need her flowers! 🙏🏾
Simply Legendary 🙌🏾!!
I remember her also as the Pine Sol Lady for a few years even while she was on Fresh Prince
Truly a legend for her years of work in Hollywood and She is Ms you look familiar!!
She is one of my favorite actress ❤
She was a kid when she was in the movie cotton comes to Harlem, It was a crowd seen in front of the police station. That block in Harlem looks the same till this day
she currently has a role on the cbs sitcom 'bob hearts abishola'. her first appearance on 'fresh prince' is my favourite episode. 'the kids in this house are getting a free ride - a free ride in a fancy car!'
I have been watching Vernee for years as Will's Mom but when I first saw her in Cotton Comes To Harlem I almost keeled over. She is Legendary! I think she's been in EVERY black sitcom since the 70's.
I been watching Good Times and was admiring her playing character Thelma's college schoolmate. Episode Thelmas African Romance Part 1.
She still workin!
Good one guys!!!!
Love her... A blessing and a legion... Also on Bob ❤️ Abiola sitcom. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You mean legend, right?
