Mark Curry On Choosing Hangin' Mr Cooper Over In Living Color

[@traceyglennpashley2093]

Knew him back in the day when we were teenagers in Oakland. He has always been intelligent, thoughtful, and authentic. Get your due and stay true.

Imagine Mark Curry on In Living Color. Hangin with Mr. Cooper was one of my favorite shows

[@bskrilz]

Mark Curry was funny as hell when he was on The Jamie Foxx Show when he played as a lieutenant in one of Jamie Foxx classes😂😂😂😂💯

[@ghostwalker89]

I knew him from Hanging With Mr Cooper before i knew him for standup. Crazy how different his comedy act was compared to his show. Black shows back then were peak IMO. We've already gone past the golden age. Now the vast majority of black shows are ghetto, ratchet behavior, or crime.

[@PreppyPrincess777]

He ain’t never lied… the first time I heard Mark Curry cuss Steve Harvey out, I was like, “Mr. Cooper?!” 😂😂😂😂😂

On another note, I love when these other celebrities come on and acknowledge Willie D’s (& Geto Boys) contribution to music. Especially when they’re from other areas. Bcuz they were very important to Southern hip hop starting to break thru

[@flatlinerz]

Hangin with mr cooper was big here in Australia 🇦🇺 during the 90s that's how I know mark curry, great sitcom

[@BLACKTREAT]

Before I start viewing the video, I just want to say Mark Curry is a certified ICON to me ❤, I hope he reads the comment section. P. S. : it wasn’t clear in the beginning, but now I peeped how Steve Harvey stole your identity, it’s crystal clear with receipts!

[@michaelross2790]

Mark Curry has always been a real one.

[@kewan2045]

He probably would’ve been in the movies more if you look at the careers of living color cast. I understand his values about buffoonery and Mr. Cooper was a good show

[@bleuaqua8102]

Sharing the gifts of God's blessings is a responsibility. Glad to hear these brothers speak on that

[@Day-ZDuke]

Always loved Hanging w Mr Cooper.... But for him to say he “didn’t wanna work for anyone” so that’s why he didn’t go to In Living Color....um did he produce and air the show himself? Did he not work for the network / producers of Mr. Cooper? The same way he would have worked for Keenan as the producer?

[@rodman1303]

He still would've had more control on his own show than in living color

[@Day-ZDuke]

@@rodman1303 you’re right, and I get where he was coming from. But I think it was more that he wanted to be the star of the show (therefore having more control) than being just one of the many stars. I just thought it was strange that he phrased it like that. Almost like it was something personal to do with Keenan, or the fact he was more of a peer, that he didn’t want to “work for” him. Cause they were both Network programs, so he was working for people regardless

[@logicalmalethink4925]

Having a peer as a boss is different

[@Day-ZDuke]

@@logicalmalethink4925 agreed. I had replied before your post, but ya I figured it was really more about them being peers that Mr. Curry was maybe uncomfortable with that situation

[@9OrangeKush9]

When it’s his show he doesn’t have to answer to too many people in In Living Colors he would have lots of people in front of him way less power and freedom

[@nonelikethese]

I was today's year's old when I learned that WILLIE D, is the WILLIE D, from Ghetto Boys. Wow! I remember as a kid, my mom and aunts had a spade party and us kids were jamming to My Mind Is Playing Tricks on Me. Loved this group. Keep up the great work. It was great to see Mr. Curry!

[@Pullingtheblackcard]

It feels as if Mark Curry is giving the interview and Willie D is sitting with some sunglasses on trying to look like a superstar. he didn’t even research what shows Mark Curry had been on, and this man doesn’t want anyone to critique him. Mark Curry is a legend, and I hope someone else interviews him because he deserves a real interview.

[@sadiki1980]

He still gave his props to In living color, cause like he said that was Keenan's thing. Also In Living a Color wasn't about bafoonary either dedpite the funny skits.

[@QR_Code]

scarface, no sell out, and gangster of love was getting them spins at the time

[@shamarcobarclay1991]

From what I can tell and see obviously In living Color has launched a lot of people's careers currently today into multi millionaire's. Maybe not being in the cast of in living color didn't take him far as a comedian career choice wise . S/o to Keenan ivory Waynons for putting people's on . Mark is still a talented comedian especially his role on Martin

Gotta do better research on your guest man this was supposed to be for the culture.

Haha ya he could have at least looked up and noted the name of his past shows / work. I suppose he will get better with time. But honestly, Willie doesn’t strike me as much of a conversationalist; he’s more of a speaker / talker / preacher / teacher. He’s an MC after all
