Just goes to show the difference when a real seasoned talent takes the mike. Doesn’t even have to think about it, he goes with the flow, smooth as butter.

There’s some funny stuff there, and his comedy is god-like. But the ugly-women stuff, and particularly picking on named individuals, does not age well.

The party records captured him in his true natural habitat. TV could never allow him to be as filthy a comic as he was at his core.

He would have CRUSHED in the modern era.
Had he been the age he was in clip during the late 90s, Redd Foxx would’ve been on the focal point of the Kings of Comedy tour.

I loved Redd Foxx… He’d be canceled today
Redd Foxx was savvy enough to evolve with the times.
It’s highly unlikely that he would have been doing stale, whiny material decades later.

Maybe check the spelling on the main subject of the article:
“Indonesia? I spent 12 years there one night.”
I’m stealing that one from Redd.
