Episode 6: Redd Foxx

De: AYR Media, Team Coco

Narrado por: J.B. Smoove

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

Comedy Superstars

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!

AMAZING

The Mount Rushmore of Comedians!

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.

What a wonderful biography of comedy Giants

This biography of comedy Giants was so interesting and added humanity to the way their lives were marked and what they left to people for now and forever a smile and life is great.

Must listen to this

Funny, informative and a Time Machine. There were no aspects of this series that wasn’t amazing. Love it.

Best of the Best

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.

Phenomenal

This production was absolutely fantastic, phenomenal and extremely exciting. I love it. Thank Mr. Funny Man.

Great Profiles!

I really enjoyed learning about these six comedians. What they had to overcome, from poverty to addiction to racism, is amazing.
