Farewell Pops, RIP John Witherspoon By Jhantu Randall
I
f you’re a person bor n in
the 1980s you were blessed to see actor and comedian, John Witherspoon really reach his prime . A comedians comedian, Witherspoon had the rare ability to make almost ever y line he said a potential quotable . For many “Bang, Bang, Bang,” was his catchphrase as he used it playing Pops in The Wayan’s Bros sitcom although that routine was done years ear lier in his role in Rober t Townsend’s 1987 film “Hollywood Shuffle .” His first major role was that of Ice Cube’s father, Willie Jones in the Friday series and even tough he continued to do cameos and suppor ting roles , he managed to reintroduce himself to a new generation playing the voice of Grand dad in Aaron Mcgruder’s “Boondocks” car toon. Bor n John Weatherspoon in Detroit, Michigan on Januar y 27, 1942, he was one of 11 children. His elder brother
William became a songwriter for Motown, writing the lyrics to the 1966 hit song “What Becomes of the Brokenhear ted.” Witherspoon had an affinity with music as he was proficient in playing the Violin, French Hor n and the Trumpet. Star ting his career as a model he began to drift towards comedy in the 1960s where he would meet and come to be associated with other comedians such as Tim Reid, Robin Williams and Richard Pr yor. His first television appearance came in the 1970s CBS show “Bar naby Jones” starring Buddy Ebsen. Witherspoon played a drug and alcohol counselor in his role . From there he made guest appearances on “Good Times ,” “What’s Happening,” and “The Incredible Hulk” in 1977. In 1982 he guest starred on WKRP Cincinnati playing Detective Davies alongside his friend, Tim Reid. From 1980 onward he made his many bit par ts in movies rather memorable , from the reverend in Keenan Ivor y Wayan’s “Im Gonna Get ya Sucka” to Mr Strickland in 1990s “House Par ty,” although for me personally, he stole the
show playing David Allen Greer’s father, Mr Jackson in Eddie Murphy’s 1992 film “Boomerang.” In 1995 he solidified himself as Pop’s William’s in “The Wayan’s Bros” alongside Shawn and Mar lon Wayans . Each week he managed to push the comedy even fur ther with his patented over the top deliver y. Continuing to do both movies and film, John Witherspoon was a comic staple throughout the 90’s and 2000s doing guest spots on “Mar tin” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” to a stint on the shor t lived Tracey Morgan show, followed by voiceovers for Disney’s “The Proud Family” and “Kim Possible .” He found a solid gig again playing Lloyd in 31 episodes of comedian Slink Johnson’s show “Black Jesus” alongside other comedians Corey Holcomb and the late Char lie Murphy.
