OT Detroit Comedian John Witherspoon dies at age 77
I completely forgot he was from Detroit. Anyone who was a fan of Urban comedy from the 90s era will remember Witherspoon's roles in the Friday movies with Ice Cube. I used to really like his role in Boomerang when he played the father of (Detroiter) David Alan Grier.

When my love goes bang bang bang, he is an icon from hollywood shuffle to Black Jesus, we lost a great man and a comedian, and a wealth of history in his death

This guy rules - a true legend. One of the funniest dudes on Earth. He was great in Friday and even on Black Jesus which was a great and underrated and very weird show. RIP.

I think everyone that watched one of his movies became an instant fan. He was one funny mofo!
He made Boomerang and Friday classics. RIP
