Good ol' days.

Moms Mabley (March 19, 1894---May 23, 1975) was a genius as a comedian. I remember her when I was a teenager but it was year later till I understood how important she was to show business. She is missed.

The forerunner to all women doing stand-up comedy today, she'd been entertaining in show business since the 1920's. Her dress was a gag , she could dance, sing and do comedy, she honed her skills in vaudeville and the chitlin circuit, she was first AA woman comedian to do stand-up before a national audience, they use to call it "flat-foot" and it was groundbreaking for women. All female comedians owe it to Moms Mabley. Joan Rivers said she learnt from Moms Mabley when she was growing up.

She was born the same year as my great-grandmother 1894, many great black female entertainers came out of that generation: Ethel Waters, black women of that ilk and generation were so strong and gifted. Respect for the ancestors, they got us through to the other side.

We discovered Moms while watching the Ed Sullivan Show; he had her on several times. He helped preserve the history of entertainment & those who paved the way before it was lost. I’m glad this clip popped up; I needed hearty laugh today.

We will never forget Moms Mabley. May God forever keep her.

I grew up listening to her albums with my parents on a Saturday night in the 60's. The albums were probably considered R rated these days. They need to make a movie about her life..she was the queen..a LEGEND 🥰

Strangely enough, there's more recently been four great comedic talents who claim be the Original Queens of Comedy Miss Laura Hayes, Adele Givens, Sommore and Mo'Nique. I would respectfully agree with Ms. Theresa Johnson that there is in fact an original Queen of Comedy before all of them and that's Moms Mabley. There are talents like her who blazed the trail so today's female comedians can go around claiming they did it first.

What a talented Lady! Moms Mabley was so GREAT!

Love and miss you Moms. You were a big part of my childhood.

So many stand on her shoulders! She was historical and hysterical for this kid back in the 60s late night radio.. This was a time of radical change in our society, and she was on the front lines bringing humor to an otherwise somber time.. thank you ma'am!

Looking at this clip reinforces my contention that jokes and sketches don't have to be profane vulgar full of swear words crude and deprecating to be hilarious. Of course some of her albums in the beginning contained some spicy racy language but tame by today's standard.

I just looked her up as a passing memory of old times. Wow, she is every bit as funny as she ever was her on video. Old Tom Smothers was so very young.

She was young but played started playing this character in the late 60s and 70s!

Watching her do the airplane joke in her youth was still funny. Watching her talent mature is a blessing even though it was before my time. The internet made a way for me to know who this beautiful talent was.❤

She was one of my mom's top five all-time entertainers.

I grew up listening to her albums, she was a brilliant comedian.

I grew up listening to Moms as a teenager. She was so so funny. I went to see her a couple of times. She was great. So very funny.

This just came up and wow did I need this😁😄😃 love this amazing woman.

A great entertainer and genuinely funny.

My Father loved Mom's Mabley.

A Great, Great Lady.. and super smart entertainer. So happy to have found this!

I remember Her as a child. Whenever She was on television My Grandma made sure to watch and I right along with her.

What a treasure she was!

LOVED Moms. Thanks for posting this. Dang near hurt myself when the stewardess said to drop your jaw, and she misunderstood. WONDERFUL!!!!! 👏👏🤪🤪👏👏🤪🤪👏👏🤪🤪

We need more like this woman. The old guard is gone. It's a shame. What a great lady.

I loved that “Sweet Georgia Brown” routine . The song reminds me when I used to watch the Globetrotters. Moms can dance too. She was literally tap dancing in house slippers. And you know, it was as though I could hear the taps as she moved her feet. At the end, it looked like she did a little Moonwalk. 😂 😂 😀

I never knew that she could sing and dance too, such a delight

She is my cousin. Wow I just found this!!

When I was a teenager, my buddies and I used to sit around listening to LP records from her laughing as hard as we could and smoking as much dope and drinking as much beer as we could man, she was great.

Mom’s Manley was a Very Nice Looking Lady Too!!

What a costume! I have never heard of her.

I'm 62 and am an old Baptist Preacher's daughter. I use to go to my neighbors house and listen to her albums with them..To this day I remember my favorite joke of hers.The one when she says something like.. ," You send your kids to school and tell them to watch the light baby..watch the light?! .. Better tell them to watch them cars lights ain't never killed nobody".😂

Awesome!

Icon 💪🏽

A legend😅

I remember hearing Mom's Mabley, Pigmeat Markham, Sammy Davis Jr. And a lot of other famous comedians on albums in the neighborhood as our fathers washed and or fixed on their cars and children played up and down the street...happy times❤❤❤😂😂😂😮😮😅😅😅❤❤❤

Jackie was THE BEST! There has never been anyone like her before, and no one has been able to follow her! Her version of "Abraham, Martin and John" always makes me cry.

Jackie 'Moms' Mabley, 1 of a kind, never duplicated.

Imagine her and Redd Foxx teaming up. That would have been great! Unless it actually happened and I don't know about it yet.

This a throwback

I was a child in the 1960’s and loved Moms. My dad would find me to come watch her whenever she was on TV: Ed Sullivan, Johnny, Lawrence Welk …

She was Great

I miss her! She is hysterical

Thank you Wanda Sykes and Whoopi Goldberg for teaching me about Moms Maybley. I love her ironic wit.

This is really great I think I remember seeing this as a kid Albert J Anderson

MOMS MABLEY WHAT A FUNNY TALENTED LADY.
