You have to wonder how a comedian whose work can be traced back as far as WKRP in Cincinnati and Barnaby Jones, can still be relevant today. John Witherspoon's roles in the Friday series, (Friday, Next Friday, Friday After Next), Soul Plane, Ladies Man, Boomerang, Vampire in Brooklyn, Little Nicky, House Party, etc. are arguably some of the most hilarious bits of comedy to date.
 
The Orange County Register describes the comedian/actor as being in a class of his own. "Witherspoon is one of those performers who doesn't need a funny line to be funny. Just standing there in a truculent posture with a suspicious look, he is funny and enlivens every scene he's in."
 
The Detroit-bred comic has proven that he is a Hollywood mainstay and continues to land coveted spots in some of America's favorite movies and television shows.
 
You've seen him in everything from popular music videos alongside Jay Z and Sugar Ray---to sitcoms opposite The Wayans Brothers and Tracy Morgan---to blockbuster movies alongside Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Chris Tucker and Ice Cube. Not only does Witherspoon's work span over four decades to include blockbuster movies, hit-television shows, commercials, and top-rated music videos, but he's coined his own catch phrases... as in... "Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!" and "You Gotta Co-ordinate!"
 
Witherspoon will have America laughing once again this fall in his wickedly funny role in the highly anticipated animated series, The Boondocks (The Cartoon Network). He stars as the eccentric "Grandad" in the series based on the award winning and politically charged comic strip.
