RIP John Witherspoon

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Stand-up comedian & actor John Witherspoon died yesterday at the age of 77.

“It is with deepest sorrow that we can confirm our beloved husband and father, John Witherspoon, one of the hardest working men in show business, died today at his home in Sherman Oaks at the age of 77,” Witherspoon’s family said in a statement to Deadline. “He is survived by his wife Angela, and his sons JD, Alexander, and a large family. We are all in shock, please give us a minute for a moment in privacy and we will celebrate his life and his work together. John used to say ‘I’m no big deal’, but he was huge deal to us.”

Loved this guy in the Friday movies. And very underrated stand-up comedian.

"Every time I come in the kitchen.. YOU in the kitchen....(chews food)... In the goddamn refrigerator. Eating up ALL THE FOOD. All the chicken. All the pigs' feet. All the collard greens. All the hog-maws!

I wanna eat some of 'dem chitlins!

I LOVE PIGS' FEET!!!"

I just watched that movie again a few days ago. Never gets old.

And every time Witherspoon was in a scene, he stole the show.
