Can't believe the 90's was like 30 years ago. Not to sh*t on the younger generation, but it seem like the artists (Actors, musicians, comedians, etc.) were REAL artists. They were super talented, worked hard and had skill. You had superstars like Prince, Michael Jackson, Big, Pac, etc. There are no superstars today that match these artists.
Even being a gangster was more real . You didn't have the internet and thugs going on there ranting and bragging about somebody they killed. Back than you just did got it over with and that was the end. Wasn't no online to brag about what you did.

You got to give Arsenio his credit he definitely had the most Poppin actors and artists of that time on his show he was the Wendy Williams of that decade so hats off to Arsenio Hall oh how I miss the 90s 😢
Manager is stupid for being mad because they don't advertise the show so much, Will being Will goofing around is the best promotion you could have for a show rather than sticking to the pre-planned questions.
CL. Life those had Jordan on the sole where it said Nike and a Jumpman on the heel where it said Nike Air. They wanted to promote the Jordan Brand. I’ll repeat myself those shoes have not released since 1990.
listening to Will explaining how it's natural for men in his culture to insult each other, even referring to the one who says "that's enough" as a 'chump' - now he physically attacks Chris Rock over a joke
Will doesn’t even speak like this anymore lol now he just stumbles over his words and speaks with such vocabulary ... you can seriously see the growth and difference at the same time lol funny how time is of the essence and you can see back all this shit in the past lol

@@deafsomali oh yes them era was so cool and life was simple with how things were naturally and music was very skillfully authentic, sitcoms, & movies were more grassroots than what's out today. That's why we reminisce the memory lanes of good times it was.
@@deafsomali Lol, dont put too much stock in that reply. Nostalgia tends to drastically over simplify things. Music on the radio might be corporate far more now, but there is sound cloud and many other platforms. In the 80s I had no way of listening to music from africa. I do now. There are FAR more musicians and better music, if you seek it out. Theres also plenty of "grassroots" series and movies out there, but again, if you are only watching the most popular shows like GoT then you wont likely come across them. You wanna know what grassroots is? Kickstarter and similar platforms. There are far more ways to get involved in grassroots orgs to supprt small time filmakers, artists, gamedevs etc then any time in history. (Im speaking from the perspective of someone from the usa btw) yes, things were "simpler" back then in a way, but that doesnt always mean better. Sure we didnt have the government and corporations tracking our every move to the extent we do now (thought still more than people seem to usually think they did) and we have other societal woes now. But there were other societal woes then, like dying from diseases that are easily curable now. Which reminds me of the phrase "make America great again". There were some great things America had decades and centuries ago that we dont have now, but If you are a woman, or you are non white, or you are not straight or you are not christian, then America has never been greater for you than it is now in those areas.
He did really looked to up to Eddie. I saw an interview of Will a while ago saying Eddie’s ‘48Hrs’, ‘Delirious’ and ‘Raw’ influenced the early parts of his career. So yeah he did look up to him.

Back in the day a Comedian could make fun of gay people and no one would get offended. They did it all the time on In Living Colour. Now you cannot do that. We should go back to the old days. Not that I have anything against gay people, but people are way too sensitive nowadays.
Scott Zaccagnini actually people did get offended but couldn’t say anything because of fear for their life if people knew they were gay, what’s funny to you might not be funny to someone else
Carbonsnail you’re joking right?? You do realize homosexuality goes back since biblical times right, do you even know how many hate crimes and murders there’s been in the us alone??
