John Amos is aging like fine wine, he look awesome for his age, his memory is impeccable. May God be with you Mr Amos whatever you are doing please keep doing it.

I'm a 46 year old caucasian middle class man. I love good times. I loved john Amos. He reminded me of my dad. We didnt have alot growing up, second hand everything, but we had love like the Evan's family. One of the best shows on tv then or now. It had substance and i had the biggest crush on wilona.

I am Hispanic from a small town in New Mexico. I was sad when his character died. I still am, he was our TV dad. No fake doctors, just people.

I'm white and my Dad was absent for most of my childhood. Many times I wish i had a Dad like James. He was fierce.

I was kind of upset with him for years when I heard the stories about him being difficult. Now as an older black man, I totally understand. I respect him so much now

I know I don’t speak for just myself but this man was “my father” he taught me about raising kids and supporting your family better than any male figure in my life! The show was special and our community needed this.

Alonzo Shorter Shorter Since when does it pay or benefit anyone (whether they suffer from a mental disease or not) to be racist? Racism is stupid. Wasn't Norman Lear one of the most successful people in the history of television as a creator and producer? John Amos kept working (fortunately) after his firing. I actually remember him better for 'Coming To America' than Good Times but if he lost his cool and threatened someone on staff then Lear must have had no choice than to fire him otherwise it would have simply been bad for business. I think Lear would have been servicing the money more (at best) rather than the issue of race. But if this race theory is true then Americans might be nuts no?

That show just didn't seem right without him. God bless you John Amos!

I had a cable TV show in NJ in the 1980's early 90's and he was a guest. He was just the best. Then, I met him again in 2008 at a celebrity signing event and I introduced myself to him and he remembered me. Got up to give me a wonderful handshake. I was from Jersey City so we had a nice connection. Class act.

I'm a 48yo white guy who grew up in the ghetto. Poverty knows no color and I related to that show more than all the others. It taught you that you might struggle but you can do it with pride and dignity. My mother made sure our house and us were always clean and we dreased as goid as we could just to go the supermarket. The show also taught you that it's ok to laugh at your poverty too. Making fun of the hole in your pants around your friends made life bearable.

James Evans and Uncle Phil are two characters that will live decades beyond their actors. Good Times and the Fresh Prince are the two most perfect representations of American life I have ever seen. The two characters are two sides of the same coin, and I'll bet that these shows/characters will live in cinema/stage the same way Beethoven and Mozart live in music. For the next 100 years, James Evans will be the tough working class father that wants better for his kids because he's been where they are. Timeless art that transcends generations. The most deeply human stuff that's ever been on screen. And we have men like John Amos to thank for that.

I always love seeing people discussing the entertainment industry intellectually. It seems like these days, actors are not interviewed, but filled with public relations quotes fed to them by marketing and promotions. It feels fake and disheartening. Interviews like this are so important.

I loved Good Times. Asian kid, watching how black people lived was fascinating and as an Asian immigrant kid, I loved how 'American' and urban the show was. John Amos was the t.v. dad I wish my dad was sometimes and I missed him when they didn't cast him. I knew there was 'beef' because JA had that personality, you saw that come through in the show and in 'Coming to America'. Him talking about being 'tactful' about the differences in hindsight is an example about being diplomatic and timing. Good on him for acknowledging that.

His character was too important to take off the show, his exit did create “damn, damn, damn” but outside that Good Times wasn’t as good. Keith wasn’t a good replacement, I didn’t like the turmoil him & JJ had over his injury.

He age gracefully out of all these years 💪🏾💪🏾

I always liked the way John Amos portrayed James Evans, Sr. in "Good Times". He really made me feel empathy for the character. James Sr. was an upright, hard working family man and did his best to keep the family afloat, despite racism and, as one episode portrayed, age discrimination. He was a Korean War veteran, and he was in the running for a very good job when the interviewer discovered he was just a little over the age limit they were looking for at the time (this being the 1970's and age discrimination was de facto "not illegal"). I really felt something when the character was killed off. The Evans family was supposed to be moving to Mississippi, and James Sr. went ahead, and word came he was killed in an automobile accident. At the time, I recall the entertainment news reported this was because of the ratings competition with "Happy Days", and the Fonzie character was at its peak popularity, "Good Times" was supposed to be revamping itself. I don't know if that was accurate, but that was one story I remember reading. I'm glad to see John Amos so vibrant and sharp, and really happy Norman Lear patched things up with him.

One of the most commanding actors on screen he can stare daggers into your soul and wasn't playing around

James Evans was very "Scary". Always loved and respected him.

The most beloved tv dad ever. Good Times was never the same after he left the show.

Mr. Amos! I appreciate the positive image you brought to every role I have seen you play.

This great man is totally underrated,.,in my honest opinion,he’s the best sitcom father in history...and Good Times never recovered from his departure....

My Best TV Dad ever!❤️

This guy is a true legend.. great actor.He should be in more Hollywood movies..

I didn't know he only did one season on Good Times. I remember him on the Mary Tyler Moore Show too.

Great interview!!! I'm 57 and remember watching that show!!

You'd think Mike Evans (who helped create Good Times; also starred as "Lionel" on The Jeffersons) would've been allowed more input, too.

Yeah

In real life John Amos is only 7 years older than Jimmie Walker; he was 31, Jimmie was 24 and the elegant Ms Esther Rolle was already in her 50’s

We need channels like this..I grew up on goodtimes I would of never known I was too young

John Amos reminds me so much of my own (Italian) father which is part of why I loved Good Times.
