Redd Foxx doing Colt 45 Ads?-lol - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I stumbled across a old 1973 ad of Redd Foxx doing an Colt 45 Ad inside the Jet magazine. Wasn't expecting to see that, maybe it should have been incorporated into the script for him to be drinking Colt 45 in one of the episodes-lol

If you do some research you will find that a lot of black actors did commercials/ads for Colt 45. I believe Billy Dee Williams did one.

I guess you are right. However, if he was so concerned about his image, malt liquor is not the way to go.

I think he cared more abt $$$$ than his image.

Didn't he do drugs? Smoke Pot? (same thing

)

Here is a link to Billy Dee's commercial of Colt 45:
