Did anyone notice the blooper at the end of this episode? Just after "big money" leaves, the camera shows Fred and Lamont talking and in the window behind them you can see someone walking behind the set.

RCA,
Yes, but I had assumed that that was supposed to be either Aunt Esther or "Big Money," both of whom had just left the house seconds earlier.

By the way, folks, wasn't the character's name "Grip."not "Grift"?

Yes, it was "Grip."

There is actually a band that has taken their name from this character.

http://www.bigmoneygrip.com/

from their website:

"We're a 6 piece band from Raleigh, NC, and our style is a raw mix of funk, jazz, blues, and pop."

There was no blooper in that episode. Fred and Lamont laughing with one another was part of the act and the person who was seen in the window was Sonny Gaines leaving the set. So where is the blooper?

RCA · 01-31-2003, 07:46 PM

I thought maybe that window in the back was a fake window, so seeing someone walk past it might have been a blooper.

Is Big Money Grip still around or is he dead.

SOLOMON,
Are you sure that was Sonny Gaines ("Big Money" Grip) walking by the window at the end?

Upon further review, it doesn't look to me as though it's either "Big Money" or Aunt Esther. The individual appears to be as bald as an 8 ball. "Big Money" had a full head of hair, and Aunt Esther -- even without her wig -- wasn't bald.

I still wouldn't classify it as a "blooper," though. It's not so unusual for somebody to walk by a window. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that, at this very moment, somewhere in America, *someone* is walking by a window.

=======================================

RCA,
Didn't Lamont, at least once, climb through that "fake window" when he couldn't get in through the front door?
