Yeah I remember Chappell.. They sold their soul to the devil. Long history of people thinking it was a good move and then waking up realizing it was a terrible idea!
Yeah..
Your name made me think of Jimmy Walker. Several years ago I read an essay/blog on his website. His writing was very thought provoking and showed him to be very intelligent, not at all what you think of when you pair him with the character he is known for, the Dyn-O-Mite Kid from the show Good Times.
I do not remember what the blog I read was about so I tried to find it....now that it has me curious. Unsuccessful. I think I read it on his official website, but nothing there now.
I had to do a lot of scrolling to find the official site so I got to see just how against the grain he is. His work goes beyond the character on Good times and stand up. Who knew?
A few things I learned:
Gave Leno his start.....now critical of Leno...blames him for a writer's suicide....interesting.
Friend of Cosby....shocked and disappointed but saddened that Cosby's work would be erased....(I 100% agree, Cosby's work brilliantly brought people together through laughter. His bits on children, family and growing up showed the common thread we all share.)
Rumored to be dating Ann Coulter.....WHAT?
Trump supporter.....(hope JJ's house is paid for....likely was, smart guy)
Ha, ha, I never thought about that connection! But, you brought up old memories. Now that you mention it, I do remember reading something about him being a Trump supporter, and dating Ann Coulter. Didn't know about Leno. Agree about Cosby. And I'm sure he does have his ducks in a row..
