Episode description

GGACP bids a fond farewell to our late friend and 2-time guest, “Good Times” and “Roots” star John Amos by revisiting this memorable interview from 2016. In this episode, John reminisces about everything from his days as a struggling comic to his breakthrough role on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” to working with Eddie Murphy and James Earl Jones in “Coming to America.” Also, John remembers Ted Knight, cuts up with Tim Conway, shares the screen with Lena Horne and moves into Archie Bunker’s old house. PLUS: Famous Amos! The cinema of Yaphet Kotto! “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre”! Praising Ernest Borgnine! And the mystery of the misheard theme song!
