I remember that episode on "Match Game" that it was on GSN where Jimmie Walker was a panelist on the show along with Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers as regulars with Gene Rayburn as the host. He was on during "Match Game" '75, '76 and PM episodes. Here is the picture of Jimmie Walker when he was on "Match Game".

I remember him on there also, he's a smoker which shocked me for some reason.

I actually have a couple episodes of the Match Game where Jimmie Walker was on the panel. I thought he made himself look like a complete idiot more so when he was in character as JJ on Good Times!

You know you are so right. It's like he took the JJ persona to heart. That, or he is always like that and that's the reason he was cast to plau JJ, he was just being himself.

I agree to an extent..He just seemed more obnoxious on the Match Game than he was when he played JJ..He also seemed to be "trying too hard" to be funny when back fired on him because he then came across as a moron

I never found Jimmie Walker to be funny outside of Good Times.

I agree, and he was "definitely not funny" when he was a panelist on the Match Game

When J.J. got arrested the cops offered him a cigarette and he took it. The puff he took made him look like a regular smoker. Crazy I know, but I thought that when I saw it.
