I still never heard of Moms Mabley.

Brieannas21 · 02-14-2006, 01:43 PM

I knew who Moms Mabley was, I remember seeing some clips of her on TV, they were from some old shows she was on. And I remember thinking to myself, how is she telling jokes with no teeth.

And how could you not know who Rosey Grier was, I grew up in a football family, My dad is a football nut.

nerrad · 02-14-2006, 02:46 PM

Yeah, I knew who all of them were. Reverand Ike is a preacher who used to come on TV. My folks used to school me on Moms Mabley. Rosey Grier was a football player for the Rams, I think.

As for Debby and Rona, I found out maybe a year or two later who they were.

Man Brian....that statement made me feel OLD...VERY VERY OLD!!!

Mom's Mabley was a very funny comdeianne who was known for taking her teeth out in front of the audience! She was a sweet fiesty old lady! I still have one of her albums which was recorded on the early 60's. She did alot of political humour during the civil rights movement. Check out amazon .com or ebay, you MAY see one of her old albums. She was quite funny...sort of like a black Phyllis Diller only a little more sassy...ok...maybe a female Red Fox, since some of her stuff at the time went right over my head at the tender age of 5!

Why are you acting like you are older than me?-lol You only know who Rosey Grier is because of your family watching football.

That was an rhetorical question.

Like I said, if it wasn't for your family you wouldn't have known anything about Rosey Grier

Mr. Television · 02-14-2006, 08:43 PM

The only one I didn't know about was Mabs Mobley.
