Garrett Morris Appreciation

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I'm sitting here watching the Madame CJ Walker show be on Netflix and they got my OG Garrett Morris. If you don't know his name you know him as Stan on Martin, Uncle Junior on The Jamie Foxx Show, whatever the fukk is name was on Two Broke Girls, etc


He's 83 now and never had a thread on thecoli Breh is greatness, his career goes back to the 70s at least with SNL and The Electric Company if I remember right. I can't be the only one that got his name mixed up with Garrett Morgan (inventor of the gas mask). Anyways, let's show some appreciation while he's still with us

For some reason, I always thought his name was Lou Gosset. I googled him a few days ago. Turns out they’re both 83 years old

You thought Lou Gossett Jr. played Uncle Junior? This what I mean. Breh made it for DECADES with no tyoe of acknowledgement

Garrett Morris is amongst the most underappreciated actors imo. Always felt like he never lived up to what he really could do.

 

[The Special Man]

I like this, we need to give flowers to all the black men and women who deserve it while they're alive and not wait for them to die so cacs can either tarnish their legacy or take credit for it.


Cause you already know them SNL cacs gon act like they made his career when he dies

How old does Lou Gossett Jr have to be before he can be referred to as simply Lou Gossett?

These young nikkas don't know nothing about Garrett Morris. What yall know about this 80's shyt that Garrett Morris was in?

I still don't understand why they fired him from Martin after he got shot

I didn’t realize until I was an adult that both him and aunt Helen were both on Martin.

Who did Aunt Helen play?

Rem the episode when Martin “lost” his apartment because of Luis and he had an angry couple show up to his old place to scare away the new tenants?

She was the woman that was arguing with her husband

Who did Aunt Helen play?

Martin (1992)
