This interview made me sad that my favorite comedian died in 1991 . Incredibly Bobbie Wygant is still alive at age of 95 . I was fascinated by Redd Foxx when I first immigrated to U.S from Korea and I watched his show with passion cause he made me laugh so hard. His facial expression is incredible and he is genius every aspect of his actions. There is nobody can even come close to this brilliant man as the king of comedy .

Redd was a comic genius. Best comic timing in the business. It’s interesting how different he is as a person from Fred Sanford. Seems like a genuine, smart, thoughtful person. He stated the show was only meant to be funny no overt messaging. He fully understood the roll of entertainment and the entertainer. Give your talents to the folks for a brief distraction from life’s problems. This idea is gone now. God bless you Redd.
