Definitely true - that's a racial divide "separated at birth" situation, even having the same first name is eerie.

He must have been a buddy of Eddie's either before or during their early 80s SNL run, because Eddie also had him in 48 hours, Trading Places and Coming to America.

In Trading Places, he had the red dew rag on in the jail cell - I think he was Billy Ray's supporter, "Yeah, the phone in the limo had busted. Are you ignorant?" guy, IIRC.

Saul: A man has the right to change his name to whatever he wants to change it to. And if a man wants to be called Muhammad Ali, godammit this is a free country, you should respect his wishes, and call the man Muhammad Ali!

Morris:
His mamma call him Clay, imma call him Clay.

Saul: Then you're a putz. All of you are putzes. They should change the sign outside from My-T-Sharp to 'ze Three Putzes.

I love that scene. The best in the whole movie, imho.

This movie doesn't give you a break from laughing. Every scene has something awesome.


Me and the McDonald's people got a little misunderstanding. You see, the got the Golden Arches, I have the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac. I got the Big Mic. We both use all beef patties with lettuce tomatoes and special sauce. But that's where the similarities end. They use a sesame seed bun. My buns have no seeds.

When someone is older than they should be for an activity, relationship, acting role, etc., I almost universally say the person is "137 years old."



There is a Wire thread on the first page as well, and the great Frankie Faison (Burrell from The Wire) is the landlord.

"Damn shame what they did to that dog."

Clint Smith. Old neighborhood friends with the Murphy's. Charlie Murphy has a really funny True Hollywood Story about him that was cut from the show. You can find it on youtube.

ETA: Here it is. It's the first story "I want more." He calls him "Daryl" in the story. Rumor is that it's really Clint Smith.

Did anyone see this when it came on CBS in the late 80's? It was show called 'What's Alan Watching' and was produced by Murphy. The scenes where he is protesting to Free James Brown are f'n hilarious and have great lines:

"You know James Brown is the one who played Sirhan Sirhan on the grassy knoll but you don't hear about that in the newspaper because the newspaper is printed by mighty whitey"

woman - "Why James Brown? Why aren't you concerned with Nelson Mandela?"
"Hey we take care of our own. You let the Italians worry about Mandela!"
