About this listen

The so-called “King of the Party Record,” Redd Foxx got his start as a comic telling some of the most outrageous, X-rated jokes audiences had ever heard, going on to sell an estimated 20 million records. His journey from street corner singer to blue comic would ultimately bring him into every home in America as the cranky-but-lovable Fred Sanford. On the hit show Sanford and Son, Foxx not only broke barriers for Black performers on TV, he also challenged what issues could be centered in the sitcom format, tackling questions of race, poverty, and discrimination.©2022 Conaverticals, LLC and AYR Media (P)2022 Audible Originals, LLC Funny

The best review of comedic talent I’ve ever heard. Moms Mabely, Dick Gregory, Flip Wilson, Paul Mooney, Rudy Ray Moore & Redd Foxx are the best of the best. They’re all National Treasures!

This was a great podcast! Props to J.B. Smoove who’s hilarious in his own right. I just wish that a few more stars would’ve provided commentary. Hope they continue this series and cover some of the others that are great, but still alive.

Beautifully produced, designed, and researched. Archival recordings represent the kind of jewels that make listening today moving, hilarious and humbling. Most appreciative for this work - from the irreverent and genius comedians to JB Smoove & his colleagues.
