00:00:03
Norman Le is a racist a hypocrite a
00:00:07
thief and a liar now the LA Times
00:00:09
wouldn't print that but I I'll stated
00:00:12
emphatically that that's what he is he's
00:00:14
a racist he a hypocrite he's a thief and
00:00:17
he's a liar welcome back to about a week
00:00:19
ago with dom Smith I'm your host Dom
00:00:21
Smith where I sum up the best news
00:00:23
stories that happened about a week ago
00:00:25
and what a week it's been ladies and
00:00:27
gentlemen so much has happened so let's
00:00:29
get right to it y'all Dwight Howard is
00:00:31
out here in these streets that's right
00:00:33
Dwight Howard has been outed through a
00:00:35
sexual assault case and that's sad sad
00:00:37
stuff Dwight Howard is gay when NBA 2K
00:00:40
found out they increased his ball
00:00:41
handling skills to a 99 overall Howard
00:00:44
traveled out front no call and he slams
00:00:46
hey yo ladies and gentlemen about a week
00:00:49
ago and when I say about a week ago I'm
00:00:51
really talking about February March 1974
00:00:54
Jet Magazine reported that red fox was
00:00:57
going to miss a few episodes of Sanford
00:00:59
and sun to and the show's thirdd season
00:01:01
the magazine would then report Fox's per
00:01:03
episode salary which is tacky as hell at
00:01:06
the time Fox was earning around
00:01:09
$25,000 per episode in 1974 with
00:01:12
inflation that equates to around
00:01:14
$160,000 per episode in 2023 it was
00:01:17
initially reported that illness is what
00:01:19
caused him to miss out on the episodes
00:01:21
but Ebony magazine reported that fox
00:01:24
took a guest spot on the Merv Griffin
00:01:25
Show which caused NBC Executives in
00:01:28
studio producers to realize maybe red
00:01:30
wasn't so sick after all now the network
00:01:32
felt that they went above and beyond to
00:01:34
meet Red's demands and the back and
00:01:35
forth became so much that tandem
00:01:37
Productions which produced Sanford and's
00:01:39
son hit Fox with a $10 million lawsuit
00:01:42
for failure to report to work on the
00:01:44
sitcom I asked for 25% of the show they
00:01:47
wanted to give me 25% of The Producers
00:01:49
pie and said it would take 5 years
00:01:51
before I could get a piece of the show
00:01:53
well they want to make me look like an
00:01:54
idiot they know they have a winner and
00:01:56
had one from the start you see when they
00:01:58
gave me the show they had about 20 25
00:02:00
million black folks to start off with as
00:02:02
a viewing audience the show has made
00:02:04
millions they want to sell the show to
00:02:06
Columbia for $1 million when the show is
00:02:08
syndicated I want to have a piece of
00:02:10
that I figure that if I had 25% of the
00:02:12
show I could make a million dollars a
00:02:13
year for the next 10 or 12 years I want
00:02:16
some money now because I deserve it now
00:02:18
and when I'm gone I want my family to
00:02:20
have 25% of something rather than 100%
00:02:23
of nothing I just want 1/4 of myself to
00:02:25
own if I can't have 1/4 of me then why
00:02:27
am I living unfortunately red Fox forgot
00:02:30
he was talking to Old Money whites you
00:02:32
see by then Fox had been in the business
00:02:34
for 38 years he felt like he was still
00:02:36
being treated like some beginner when in
00:02:38
actuality he's been doing this he's on
00:02:41
the same level of Bob Hope or Danny
00:02:43
Thomas I mean he won a Golden Globe in
00:02:45
1973 for playing Fred G Sanford does
00:02:48
that not mean anything it is no longer a
00:02:50
question of money with me now it's a
00:02:52
question of Economics I recently made
00:02:55
$150,000 in one month on the road with a
00:02:57
show and that ain't bad that's money but
00:03:00
it's economics when I own a piece of the
00:03:02
TV show and my family can make it when
00:03:03
I'm gone or we can make it when I'm no
00:03:05
longer out there on the road and
00:03:07
remember red fox just wasn't starring in
00:03:09
the show but he also did some of the
00:03:11
writing getting a story by credit for
00:03:13
two episodes but more importantly he
00:03:15
changed a lot of the dialogue to make
00:03:17
black folks authentically talk like
00:03:19
black folks my friend Tommy Davidson
00:03:21
said the same thing when I interviewed
00:03:23
him years ago it was white writers
00:03:25
writing for us see because i' never
00:03:28
heard of have you ever heard heard a
00:03:30
black person call another black person a
00:03:31
jive
00:03:32
turkey that was a white idea of how we
00:03:34
talk exactly you know what I mean so it
00:03:36
was like you know you you'll hear a
00:03:38
white person go you know Bubba in Tyrone
00:03:41
you know I don't know that many black
00:03:43
people named Bubba you know that's their
00:03:45
their voice on us that's right I know
00:03:47
Tommy very well he's one of my many many
00:03:49
celebrity friends who are these
00:03:52
it's also noteworthy that the scripts
00:03:53
for shows like Sanford and sun and good
00:03:55
times were written by a lot of Jewish
00:03:57
white men what they're protesting
00:04:00
outside already I'm anti- what but
00:04:03
that's a fact there are a lot of Jewish
00:04:04
white men that write for these shows all
00:04:07
of this led to Fox asking readers of Jet
00:04:09
Magazine to come to a call of action he
00:04:11
demanded writing credits he demanded
00:04:13
wardrobe changes he demanded more money
00:04:15
and asked this to his fans if there are
00:04:18
any blacks who read Jet and think I'm
00:04:19
right I want jet to send me the letters
00:04:21
so I can forward them to NBC he called
00:04:24
for a boycott does that sound familiar
00:04:25
my loves I'm not asking to boycott any
00:04:27
network boycott me boycott Chappelle
00:04:31
Show do not watch it unless they pay me
00:04:34
and if we're being completely honest one
00:04:36
more thing red hated was his demanding
00:04:38
schedule starring in a TV show is no
00:04:40
joke trust me ladies and gentlemen I
00:04:42
know according to Ebony magazine this
00:04:44
was red schedule during production of
00:04:46
Sanford and Sun script readings on
00:04:48
Wednesdays run-throughs on Fridays
00:04:50
script memorization on Saturdays and
00:04:52
Sundays blocking on Mondays shooting on
00:04:55
Tuesdays and the chaos starts all over
00:04:57
again the next day I feel your pain red
00:04:59
that leaves absolutely no time for the
00:05:01
hose and that's unacceptable when it
00:05:04
came to the conditions for blacks in
00:05:05
Hollywood fox said the industry was
00:05:07
nothing but slavery in a tuxedo this
00:05:10
industry is a
00:05:11
monster it's the same monster that these
00:05:14
me two was trying to tell you
00:05:17
about but they hate the monster for how
00:05:20
it and I hate that monster for how it
00:05:23
eats but my God man it's the same
00:05:26
monster and red fox wasn't the only
00:05:29
actor in the 1970s to miss episodes of a
00:05:31
hit sitcom in order to hold out for
00:05:33
better pay Carol o Conor did the same
00:05:36
exact thing and according to
00:05:38
Entertainment Weekly he sued tandem
00:05:40
productions for
00:05:41
$644,000 in back pay and other contract
00:05:44
demands it was later revealed that other
00:05:46
members of All in the Family had
00:05:48
received little to no residuals Sally
00:05:51
Struthers who played Gloria divic has
00:05:53
gone on public record saying that she
00:05:54
only received royalties when episodes
00:05:56
aired in syndication five times after
00:05:59
that that fifth time she has not seen a
00:06:01
dime since and Rob Riner who played her
00:06:03
husband Michael on the show had this to
00:06:05
say about feelings of being exploited
00:06:08
I'm not disturbed about the t-shirts and
00:06:09
the posters that capitalize on the show
00:06:11
what bothers me is something like the
00:06:13
book The Wit and wisdom of Archie Bunker
00:06:15
all the material in it was taken from
00:06:17
the television scripts and I wrote a
00:06:19
good hunk of those jokes in them yet I
00:06:21
don't get a penny from the sales and
00:06:22
neither does any writer on the show in
00:06:25
1999 it was reported that Sherman
00:06:27
Helmsley from The Jeffersons filed for
00:06:29
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Eric Monty the man
00:06:32
who created the character of George
00:06:34
Jefferson and co-created Good Times
00:06:36
filed for bankruptcy started smoking
00:06:38
crack and eventually ended up homeless
00:06:41
Monty eventually sued ABC and CBS for
00:06:44
using his ideas in good times and The
00:06:45
Jeffersons without giving him credit
00:06:47
after he was awarded $1 million he was
00:06:50
blacklisted as a screenwriter too
00:06:52
difficult to work with and what do all
00:06:54
of these creatives have in common they
00:06:56
worked for the king of the 1970s sitcom
00:06:59
Norman Lear that's right folks Carol o
00:07:01
Conor played Archie Bunker for nine
00:07:03
seasons over 200 episodes in all of the
00:07:05
family a sitcom developed for American
00:07:07
audiences by Norman Lear Sally strs and
00:07:10
Rob Riner were all in the show as well
00:07:12
sford in some was developed by Norman
00:07:14
leer starring red fox for over 100
00:07:17
episodes Sherman Helmsley was George
00:07:19
Jefferson for 11 seasons and over 250
00:07:22
episodes The Jefferson was the longest
00:07:24
running black sitcom for 27 years until
00:07:27
it was beaten by Tyler Perry's House of
00:07:29
pain each one of these characters are
00:07:31
over 50 years old and still remembered
00:07:33
today they're iconic they've stood the
00:07:36
test of time but guess what Sherman
00:07:38
Helmsley died broke red fox died broke
00:07:41
Carol oconor had multiple contract
00:07:43
disputes over salary and ownership Sally
00:07:46
strs and Rob Riner got little to no
00:07:48
residuals and Eric Monty has absolutely
00:07:51
nothing to show for co-creating good
00:07:52
times and George Jefferson meanwhile
00:07:55
Norman Lear sits on an Empire worth
00:07:58
hundreds of millions of dollar
00:08:00
this man is 101 years old born July 27th
00:08:04
1922 101 he's evil by default he looks
00:08:08
like a super villain and its skin cat we
00:08:11
were all counting down the days until
00:08:12
Betty White turned 100 and we were all
00:08:15
devastated when she clocked out at 99
00:08:17
there's a reason why Norman Lear made it
00:08:19
to 101 and no one gives a you know I
00:08:22
hope we can get this episode out within
00:08:23
the next 48 hours before Norman Lear
00:08:25
dies time is of the essence and I don't
00:08:27
want to be blamed hold on strong Norman
00:08:29
at least until 2024 I still hate you and
00:08:32
listen folks the stories of producers
00:08:34
exploiting their artists is as old as
00:08:36
Show Business itself I did not have the
00:08:38
best experience being signed to Bad Boy
00:08:40
Records can't stop won't stop uhuh uhuh
00:08:46
that's a trigger I'm sorry but sadly in
00:08:48
the 2020s we still hear stories of
00:08:50
artists being taken advantage of but the
00:08:52
more folks are aware the more we can
00:08:54
prevent artists like red fox and Sherman
00:08:56
Helmsley from passing on with nothing to
00:08:59
show for their life's work while
00:09:00
producers like Norman leer and Bud yorin
00:09:02
have created generational wealth and
00:09:04
that generational wealth was based off
00:09:06
of the work of black artists I don't
00:09:08
know sounds like slaver to me but hey
00:09:10
what do I know ladies and Gentlemen
00:09:12
please enjoy your hype moment of the
00:09:14
week because I am black see are
00:09:17
superstitious you can tell the
00:09:19
difference see believe in ghosts
00:09:21
rabbit's feet and black cats I'm black I
00:09:24
don't believe in none of that if I see a
00:09:27
ghost I'mma cut it and and r feet
00:09:30
How could a rabbit's foot be lucky when
00:09:32
the rabbit lost
00:09:34
it
