Carleena sure proved to be a more dedicated daughter to him than vice versa.

P.S. One can be sure Louise would have NEVER put up with Lionel denying and ignoring her granddaughter!

I knew that Mike Evans died of cancer back in 2006 but I didn't know that it was so bad that he literally lost his tongue. I wonder what Mike did for a living and in his life after The Jeffersons ended in 1985 and he essentially, retired from the entertainment industry. His very last on-screen performance was in part two of the "Sayonara" episode from Season 11 of The Jeffersons (also in 1985). According to the trivia section on IMDb for that episode, had there been a 12th season of The Jeffersons, then the producers were planning to bring Mike Evans back as Lionel Jefferson full-time.

I remember reading somewhere that he became an artichoke farmer.
