It would have been interesting to see the amount of material the Trump administration would have given him ; in truth whether you liked it or not . He could make a Trump supporter go hmmmm?
Bernie was the first famous person I cried for when he passed away. It really hit me hard, I grew up with the Mac. Love his tough comedy & his straight face when telling a joke. Handsome Intelligent man. Truly felt sorry for his wife, she was with him through it all. ❤️
Bernie’s analysis and dissection of his inspirations and how humble he is when he says that his fans made him and he didn’t want to alienate them when developing his show. This guy was a legend, truly a master of his craft. Rip Bernie.
Reminds me of how Jim Carrey made a promise to write a check to his father for $1 million. Wasn’t able to do it until his dad passed and he placed the check in his dad’s burial suit.
I like how Bernie gave Cosby credit for introducing him to comedy. But, his fandom didn’t stop him from recognizing the obvious contradictions in Cosby’s character. RIP and thanks for keeping it real, on and off stage.
“We have these treasures in earthen vessels.” Each and every single one of us are carrying gifts to build and move humanity forward...Rest In Peace Bernie Mac! A very gifted vessel!
Prentis Davis Seemingly you don't understand your statement is referred to as a back-handed compliment. I'm proud to be from the Southside of Chicago and I don't need any reasons......except that I love this city.
I first saw Bernie on Def comedy jam. I didn't get to see a lot of his acts , but he became an instant favorite. He is one of the best and truly missed.
his in depth "study" as it were, of endless Comerica, shows in his talent. This was a great interview. Bernie was a very well spoken and very intelligent and truthful. My love, sympathies and prayers go out to his family. I think he left a big space in your lives, and his presense is sorely missed. No one...no one can replace or take the space left by Mr. Bernie Mac. You can't touch him.
He did make fun of it lol..that was the point..did you not hear him say..he deals with facts? If one is dealing with facts..then god cannot exist...his words show how confused and lost he was..like most all religious people! They are all under hypnosis..thankfully..not everyone in the world can be brainwashed! If we can build more schools, we wouldn't need churches!
Why does he have to be brain washed? If you dont believe or fear God thats your business..black people have misplaced hate .every other race learns from whites just like other races learn because you sure cant beat them.learn how to value your brother no matter what he thinks..
It's August 2019 and I just wanted to say thank you again Bernie Mac for making me laugh during my teenage years in the 90's. Rest in Heaven brother 🤘💯✊
He was talking about Steve Harvey. He toured with Harvey and Harvey would talk about treating women right during his comedy routine. Harvey at that time was cheating on his second wife.
The question was about Cosby, yes, but Mac went on to say he "seen a lot of comedians say one thing and do another". He didn't run in the same circles as Cosby but he toured with Harvey. Harvey preached over and over about treating women right and at the same time he was cheating on her.
This was and absolutely always will be a man who truly studied, understood, admired, and brought new gifts to the entertainment medium known as comedy. It’s never hard to see why Bernie Mac was and always will be an official king of comedy
I agree ....'reading the TV Guide and studied it ' I can remember getting the Tv guide in the mail and reading ahead for my favorite shows ....'Six million dollar man ...charlies angels ..etc ..' great memories !
@@Joe-ly3si Lots of intelligent people have been religious in recent history, for example Einstein was extremely religious. Religious brainwashing is that strong!
@@AK-74K Im not sure where you got that Einstein was extremely religious! That is very false! He himself said he was agnostic and believed in a pantheistic god, not the traditional one you're referring to. However, yes, the brainwashing of these organized cults is mind blowing!
Michael McClendon Jerry is meadocre as a stand up his show was funny because of Larry david. That guy is hysterical. Don Rickles is an all time great. Most def gets a Rushmore statue from me
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Everything was on point-from the set, the lighting the background visual. And Bernie Mac is all contained in the blazing whites of his eyes darting all around.
Monique Santos if he was alive he would definitely be the most successful out of the other 3 original kings of comedy. I remember him and Issac Hayes died like a day apart and they had that scene together in that movie soul man I think it’s called. That was crazy but yeah I believe if he was still alive the Bernie MAC show would have had a good 9 seasons. RIP
I have always love Bernie Mac this interview I just came across just gave me a newfound respect on how he studied all these great comedians and TV shows that made him what he was and it just amazed me I wish she was still here the world really needs him and misses him R I P Mr Bernie Mac Ladies and Gentleman
My parents used to watch Flip Wilson and the Honeymooners when I was a newborn kid. How is Bernie Mac gone, and a serial "rapist" still alive? Not fair.
Moo Moo Puppy I agree so much. I have an opinionated answer. This interview was done in 2004, alot of ppl never new about this. Now all of a sudden it pops up. We loose the real ones to exploit the fake ones. Mr Mac had a message back then that was not payed attention to. His message is being heard by our generation(as in you and I also whoever else replied to your comment)...who's eyes and mines are open. He is speaking from Heaven to those of us that are listening.!
January 24, 2020 Back again watching The Uncle Bern. This has to be 1 of the best interviews he did. Especially for me personally. The interviewer was gr8 he really respected Bernie and seemed engaged at what Bernie was really saying. For all you out there who are hustlers and vow not to work for nobody. Trust and Believe in yourself and go get it Achieve it 💯💯🙏💙 *#YourTimeIsHere*
RIP Bernie 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you for sharing yourself with us for so many years. You are irreplaceable. Your lessons within the laughter is what made it special and we all loved you for it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Greg Singleton they all did Cosby the idiot hypocrite would call every young or coming up.comedian who who worked as they called it blue..cursed talked about sex etc..like..he calked up to lecture Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Richard Pryor..Bernie Mac...and si on to tell them about having MORALS etc on stage and setting a good example...while all the time Sir Pudding Pop was raping women...and ya know he wasnt half as brilliant or 1/4 as great as the mentioned n other comedians..Sicko..
18:47- the real starts. He kept it real, by actually saying Bill was saying to live life one way, but in Bill's real life, Bill was doing other things . Mac said, now that's a lie.... You are truly missed Mac......
Bernie Mac A Man Of True Integrity And Respect...Extremely Humorous And Believed in Keeping it Real. Bernie Was Strong In What He Believe In...Never Compromising, And Would Never Betray A Friend Or Comrade.... Many Artist Today Really Need To Study This Brother.....Rest In Power Brother Mac!!!!!Love You❤
Guy's a genius. And, even better yet, a sincere man, too. Bernie helped break down some barriers that hold people down that only see him, and other entertainers as a successful 'black' men. He's a man, with respect, & gratitude for all. Yet, he still maintains himself as someone that stays true to where he came from, too. Awesome. :)
My parents still watch Andy Griffith, my Mom loved Archie Bunker but we grew up watching the exact same people and stuff was hilarious. Flip Wilson and Carol Burnett show skits are very similar to Dave Chappelle show
I almost guarantee Bernie had some words for the interviewer after the show. He wouldn't say it during the interview because he's a professional, but he definitely had some things to say
Owen Williams for real dog like the white dude just said nigger instead of just saying nigga I really felt like he did that on purpose and how he used ghetto I’m like this guy needs to be checked fr
Things were different then. People didn’t try to tip toe around words. They said what they meant. Just like Bernie saying that he can’t call a little kid on his show a faggot. Even saying that would not fly today, even though he was explaining the difference between his stand up and his tv show in context. People are really sensitive about language today compared to back then. We are devolving as a culture.
The interviewer comes across like the type of white person who look at black people like they are some kind of lab specimen. Whites have been like that for years in America.
Bernie Mac, and Steve Harvey, both of them made me laugh just by looking at them, didn't have to say a word their face expressions said it all . Bernie was in a class of his own stood out from the rest his gift was Godly and he gave respect where it was dued, all ways remembered never forgotten, the mac. RIP.
Always been a FAN of respect !!!! 1) That is beautiful and Bernie dressed his ASS OFF he looked like a man no skinny jeans, long tee shirts 2) Self respect and respect amongst our people is greatly needed
2004 was such a great year (to me) best year of my childhood. Going to my godmothers house, playing video games, then watching the Bernie Mac show. Who could forget the Super Bowl in 2004 (Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson) 😂😂 and also, I live in NC so that was the first time I could remember as a kid rooting for my home team (Panthers) man oh man. I’ll never forget that year, and Bernie Mac.
This interview reminds me of how Michael Jackson used styles and nuances from performers as early as the silent era and mixed imagery from The Renaissance and sci-fi to create his image. Bernie Mac is the Michael Jackson of comedy studying the Marx brothers and Jack Benny, etc.
Bernie did not discuss Bill Cosby, he just mentioned him is a story that he told. Why use click bait titles just be honest. Bernie's name in the title is enough. Good interview, very informative. Rip Bernie
Damn, I cannot believe he is gone. He is a legend. I had to add that this man is a true genius and he breaks it down like it is so simple, but he truly had a gift on top of the motivation that made him so great. He obviously heard things about Cosby before it got out to everyone. Bernie was a good man and he was good to his wife. He is a model of how men should be-white or black.
They took him coz he was a influence just like some of our brothers before us, Bob Marley, Tu Pac, Bernie Mac. There are man( Black) who struggle in the mainstream but are taken out due to their originality and truth plus the Love they are willing to share with the World. RIP uncle Mac.
Uncle Bernie Mac sounded very humble, and straightforward. His sitcom show was definitely on point, especially as he takes humor and serious family life and combine them together to make it more in depth than your traditional sitcom show. I've seen the program in reruns, on top of seeing him on the movie "Friday" and so on. From the sound of things, he was not an imitator nor an imposter. May God rest Uncle B's soul
The Mac had pretty teeth. I recall when he'd clown on the El Train in the 80 s. He started coming on this local show in the 90 s with Pervis Spann a DJ and the late Carl Wright called Blues and More. Then he BLEW UP. Always happy for him. RIP
He was one of my favs - so smart & talented, and a good soul to boot. He was pretty honest there about Cosby - mentioning 'people' who say don't do drugs, & treat women right, but they're LIARS. Good on you Bernie.
I have a feeling it was more known in atleast he comedy circle than we knew. Atleast 1 woman had to have outted him and started telling people an got paid off.
I always thought red fox and Richard Pryor were hilarious You know who else was classy James Earl Jones and Ed Bradley Those two gentlemen were class acts And I used to have the biggest crush on 💞 Cree Summer💞 from A Different World 💞❤️❤️❤️
Every time he looked at the camera and said "America...!" I laughed. Miss him for sure.
It would have been interesting to see the amount of material the Trump administration would have given him ; in truth whether you liked it or not . He could make a Trump supporter go hmmmm?
His accent made it sound like “Ameh- icah”. It used to have me on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
There's a HUGE hole in the world of comedy where Bernie Mac once stood. He was a true master of his craft in every sense of the word. RIP Mr Mac!
Bernie was the first famous person I cried for when he passed away. It really hit me hard, I grew up with the Mac. Love his tough comedy & his straight face when telling a joke. Handsome Intelligent man. Truly felt sorry for his wife, she was with him through it all. ❤️
🙏 ❤ 🙏❤🙏 🤲 ♥️ 🙏 🤲
He definitely didnt lie when he said he could look at the camera and not say a word but say alot. His facial expressions made the bernie mac show!
/
Sure did !!!
He was hilarious !!!!!!!!!!
He was the "king" of Comedy .
yall didn't even peep he paid homage to The Marx Brothers when saying that.
Haha 😂 oh YEA that is correct ,I giggle even before he say anything remotely funny and yet he was a serious man too , but he simply had funny bones
"I have been a student of the game all my life........ In order to be what you say you are you've got to go to school." - Bernie Mac
Bernie’s analysis and dissection of his inspirations and how humble he is when he says that his fans made him and he didn’t want to alienate them when developing his show. This guy was a legend, truly a master of his craft. Rip Bernie.
Your name on here and that Ren picture. 🤣🤣🤣 I agree with your comment but that Bootie Goonie/Ren combo got me. 🤣🤣🤣
No doubt , making couples look at each other, seeing people relate making them chicks and ask him to wait lol that’s all good stuff
Too good for us.He was enlightened in the most humbling way
How sweet. He said he wanted to be a comedian so his mother would never cry again 💓💖🤗😍
Reminds me of how Jim Carrey made a promise to write a check to his father for $1 million. Wasn’t able to do it until his dad passed and he placed the check in his dad’s burial suit.
@@bfan82 That's not the same But ok
@@CHRISTisBLACK216 umm its them working through their parents to make them proud so how is it not the same
@@Mr.GoodVibesCaLi because y'all bringing up a white man while talking about a important black man. There is NO COMPARISON so stop the bullshit.
Pig in a Blanket you completely missed the point .... I get what ur saying but not the point at all
I like how Bernie gave Cosby credit for introducing him to comedy. But, his fandom didn’t stop him from recognizing the obvious contradictions in Cosby’s character. RIP and thanks for keeping it real, on and off stage.
Bernie saw it before anyone else.
“We have these treasures in earthen vessels.” Each and every single one of us are carrying gifts to build and move humanity forward...Rest In Peace Bernie Mac! A very gifted vessel!
Beautiful.
Bernie Mac: One of the few reasons to be proud to be a South Side native of Chicago.
Damn dude, we miss you.
Prentis Davis
Seemingly you don't understand your statement is referred to as a back-handed compliment. I'm proud to be from the Southside of Chicago and I don't need any reasons......except that I love this city.
Gorgeous G Lol damn it does sound back handed. That's not my intention but. .. Lets just big up and celebrate our guy Bernie. How bout that?
Prentis Davis
Love it!!!
Wrong! One of the MANY reasons to be proud to be from the South Side of Chicago
R.i.P Uncle Bernie
"I don't make fun of God, because I am scared" wow that hit me hard....R.I.P to the legend.
thats profound? you clown
YAS!!! A GOD fearing man, living with the LORD right now
whathappenseveryday REAL TALK.
He earned ALL my respect on that one !!
He was raised right
My FAVORITE ''King of Comedy''
Bernie Mac did not sell out and he was the Man, no comedian goes in on Bernie
prettymochame just T watch robin harris and tell me he won’t go in on Bernie he took his whole career
I'm so grateful to have been able to see him live several times.
Miss you Bernie Mack!
He had beautiful hair and skin.....R.I.P Mac...
and teeth
Pretty smooth and black..hell yesss
You guys know it was a sorry ass dermatologist who gave him the wrong meds and that lead to him dying
That's the make up too
they say its mj with a prosthetic mask look it up
I like the fact that he said he was a student of the game.
I still watch his show on Netflix. Gone too soon. Truly miss you Bernie Mac!! R.I.P.
Darlene Holley-benson yea I had to brake the new to my daughter that he passed away
Whats the name of the show on netflix?
I first saw Bernie on Def comedy jam. I didn't get to see a lot of his acts , but he became an instant favorite. He is one of the best and truly missed.

Oh lord thank for letting me see another day to try and better myself. God bless the Mac Man soul.🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@Joe-ly3si his Father was a Deacon and grew up on Respect. And neitherhood kids called there family the Church Kids. You missed the point.
Bernie Mac is one of a handful of people who can make me laugh till my chest hurt and i stop breathing. Was very sad to see him go so suddenly
Azrael they killed him
can?
Respect is everything.
Pius Xulu N.Y. N.Y.
That so very true
Thank you for the upload. Such a pleasure to hear such a gentleman
Very Smart & Humble Man! R.I.P Mac
It's August 2019 and I just wanted to say thank you again Bernie Mac for making me laugh during my teenage years in the 90's. Rest in Heaven brother 🤘💯✊
Absolute brilliance personified, and oh so very missed. Rest well King Bernie.
Imagine a Bernie Mac Podcast. That would be the shit
John Voet definitely
👍👍👍 u rite
ValValentine yeah
that would be nuts
John Voet OMG yes
Very in depth as a person & has a
great blance of HIMSELF due to his reverance for GOD
18:45 - the Bill Cosby part.
He was talking about Steve Harvey. He toured with Harvey and Harvey would talk about treating women right during his comedy routine. Harvey at that time was cheating on his second wife.

classic, priceless.. the mac man was truly knowledgeable and a pillar of comedy. truly missed.
Yeah, I miss him.
So do I, may he rest in peace!
I agree ....'reading the TV Guide and studied it ' I can remember getting the Tv guide in the mail and reading ahead for my favorite shows ....'Six million dollar man ...charlies angels ..etc ..' great memories !

He was very intelligent.

One of my inspiration in life. Too me, the Mount Rushmore of comedian. Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and the late great Bernie Mac.
M&M ...Mount Rushmore of Comics ....Richard -Eddie-George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld .
Richard
Eddie
Chappelle
Mac
Honrary mention: Carlin
Tloppy Sop what an evil comment! Paul Mooney is an amazing comedian and Richard Pryor's writer and that is all that matters!
Jerry is a big ass hole.
Michael McClendon Jerry is meadocre as a stand up his show was funny because of Larry david. That guy is hysterical. Don Rickles is an all time great. Most def gets a Rushmore statue from me
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Everything was on point-from the set, the lighting the background visual. And Bernie Mac is all contained in the blazing whites of his eyes darting all around.
He would have made a big difference in today’s climate in 2018. The man had so much wisdom.
what a great interview. bernie mac is a legend
If Bernie was alive you would have been a bigger star than Steve Harvey. Hell he's way better than now and back then. R.I.Power!
Monique Santos you are fine !!! My godness
Monique Santos if he was alive he would definitely be the most successful out of the other 3 original kings of comedy. I remember him and Issac Hayes died like a day apart and they had that scene together in that movie soul man I think it’s called. That was crazy but yeah I believe if he was still alive the Bernie MAC show would have had a good 9 seasons. RIP
@@devaindennis1221 Right..... I remember that.
And Steve Harvey knew it too
He would not have been bigger than Steve because Bernie would not have sold out as Steve is doing now.
I have always love Bernie Mac this interview I just came across just gave me a newfound respect on how he studied all these great comedians and TV shows that made him what he was and it just amazed me I wish she was still here the world really needs him and misses him R I P Mr Bernie Mac Ladies and Gentleman
True class. A naturally funny man.
Great interview, thanks for this
I miss Bernie Mac aka the macman.. good brother with so much knowledge, I still watch his TV show rip Mack man.
Truly Missed. Legendary
Joseph Bailey yeah...he occurs to me on a vetry regular basis....I quoted him earlier today on something
Wedding photos
My parents used to watch Flip Wilson and the Honeymooners when I was a newborn kid. How is Bernie Mac gone, and a serial "rapist" still alive? Not fair.
Well said

I really love that they included the commercials. It really takes you back. This is a very good interview. Bernie was so well spoken.
I hated commercials until I realized that they are a time-capsule
Very well said especially not talkin about God in his stand up!!...Respect for that....RIP the legend Bernie!!

Wow he literally called Cosby out! How did I miss this interview
Few people watched Trio then.
Very few people had the Trio network.
Yeah smooth called him out without blatantly doing it.
Greg Singleton they all did Cosby the idiot hypocrite would call every young or coming up.comedian who who worked as they called it blue..cursed talked about sex etc..like..he calked up to lecture Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Richard Pryor..Bernie Mac...and si on to tell them about having MORALS etc on stage and setting a good example...while all the time Sir Pudding Pop was raping women...and ya know he wasnt half as brilliant or 1/4 as great as the mentioned n other comedians..Sicko..
He said it as craft "ely," as only Bernie Mac could do. Listen again to the interview towards the end starting at 19.09.
18:47- the real starts. He kept it real, by actually saying Bill was saying to live life one way, but in Bill's real life, Bill was doing other things . Mac said, now that's a lie.... You are truly missed Mac......

My favorite comedian of all time. We miss you Mac! #RIPBernie
thanx for posting this
interesting that he saw the plight of Cosby back then.
He was a freedom of speech warrior!
Bernie Mac the undisputed G.O.A.T.
Moyahabo Thoka No Richard is the Goat.
The 🐐.. Ive studied the comedy king and it changed my life.. His book made me cry and step my game up
20:00 'Well Being a black guy, ...been black a long time...'
interviewer head nods; 'Really'

lmao
an Ass
@Patrick Danielson are u sure, re listened Several times after your Comment.
Sounds like a 'really' lool👍🏽
Thanks for the upload.
He was pure genius. R.I.P always in our hearts.
there was always something very special about this awesome comedian.. respect from England Bernie.
I almost guarantee Bernie had some words for the interviewer after the show. He wouldn't say it during the interview because he's a professional, but he definitely had some things to say
Owen Williams for real dog like the white dude just said nigger instead of just saying nigga I really felt like he did that on purpose and how he used ghetto I’m like this guy needs to be checked fr
like what?
Yes, I was trippin when I heard him say nigger. Like wtf you know better than that and he should've said "the n word" instead. Everybody knows that...

What a decent sweet man ! Bernie Mac!!
Truly a legend. R.I.P. To one of the absolute best. It sucks he's no longer w us 😥
Bernie Mac........... one of the BEST !
From what I heard, he was "the" best.
I have this interview saved just to be able to hear his , genius and to be instructed by the Mac Man.
Always been a FAN of respect !!!!
1) That is beautiful and Bernie dressed his ASS OFF he looked like a man no skinny jeans, long tee shirts
2) Self respect and respect amongst our people is greatly needed
You had me up until you said "our people".. these are comments that keep racism going and going and going.
2004 was such a great year (to me) best year of my childhood. Going to my godmothers house, playing video games, then watching the Bernie Mac show.

how admirable that he dedicated his life to giving people joy. Kind of gets me all moist in the eye sockets!
Wow Bernie was a comedy historian, he really was into this art in another level
They took him coz he was a influence just like some of our brothers before us, Bob Marley, Tu Pac, Bernie Mac. There are man( Black) who struggle in the mainstream but are taken out due to their originality and truth plus the Love they are willing to share with the World. RIP uncle Mac.
This interviewer is pushing some boundaries here.

The Mac had pretty teeth. I recall when he'd clown on the El Train in the 80 s. He started coming on this local show in the 90 s with Pervis Spann a DJ and the late Carl Wright called Blues and More. Then he BLEW UP. Always happy for him. RIP
Gosh I miss Bernie! Can’t wait to see him again some day! Such a loss!
The beginning set up a great interview. His life should be a movie.
The best interview I have ever seen of The King Bernie Mac. RIP
student of the game/ brilliance
The more I learn about Bernie the more I love. RIP Legend 🐐
@19:13 - looks like Bernie KNEW about Cosby!!!
possums1010 Yep... chi don’t tell... 98 percent of men in cook county black. I miss Bernie he was Chi at “all jokes aside” south side for real....
He was one of my favs - so smart & talented, and a good soul to boot. He was pretty honest there about Cosby - mentioning 'people' who say don't do drugs, & treat women right, but they're LIARS. Good on you Bernie.
I have a feeling it was more known in atleast he comedy circle than we knew. Atleast 1 woman had to have outted him and started telling people an got paid off.
I know, it seems like he heard something back in 2004
It seems it was an open secret...amongst the comedians.
Bernie Mac is truly the King of Comedy 👑 ❤
No one compares to this incredible creative comic genius ❤️ 💙 💜 ❤
I love his use of the word "Dog-gone"
The interviewer using the Hard-R caught me off guard LOL Bernie was not talking about the Hard-R
Blacks may have grown up on white shows.....but I know a lot of whites, especially me..... miss Bernie. God bless you my brother!
dragon3831 I'm white & miss mac, bankroll fresh, 2 Pac ,biggie & most of all BLACK JESUS

You know who else was classy James Earl Jones and Ed Bradley
Those two gentlemen were class acts
And I used to have the biggest crush on 💞 Cree Summer💞 from A Different World 💞❤️❤️❤️
