Default Another story about John Amos and Jimmie Walker I'm trying to confirm because

of someone saying-"I HEARD"-LOL My aunt said she HEARD that John Amos was getting more upset when the producers had J.J walking around with that CHICKEN on his head when his character was a chicken delivery man. Whether it's true or not, it was a little bit over the top for him to have a chicken BOUNCING on top of his head-lol I'm just surprised Jimmie didn;t say himself-"Wait I think the chicken on my head is a bit much"

There's nothing wrong with saying that you or someone else heard something.

Given all I've read and heard about Amos' dissastifaction with JJ's character, I wouldn't be surprised if the chicken hat bothered him.

Anyone have a pic of JJ in the chicken hat? Sounds hilarious.

I have actually READ that somewhere, I will try to find it. I don't see what the big deal was, every time I see that hat, or the one with the cow on it, I laugh my ass off!!! How can a hat like that NOT be funny???

No grown man is supposed to walk around with a chicken on his head.

I'm almost positive John Amos had a problem with that, can't remember where I heard that but I did hear something about it.

In YOUR opinion. You mean to tell me if someone walked into work wearing that hat, or came into a party with it on, you would just sit there. You wouldn't laugh at all? I find that hard to believe.

The hat generated laughs, so I don't see what the problem is.
