I love Robert. Social Anatomy "Dont Forget Robert Townsend" Brought me here
he helped Eddie Murphy with "RAW" (by directing the comedy concert special); Keenan Ivory Wayans was a part of it too. Wayans was great in the (cult) classic hit film "Hollywood Shuffle" and of course, when he created "In Living Color" (the 90's Sunday/Fox sketch comedy show series, like "Mad TV" (for Saturday nights) and "Saturday Night Live." ) "I don't know what a Jheri Curl is, but that is going to work." - Robert Townsend. Helen Martin was in "227," one of the nosy neighbors that know who is doing what, what is someone saying (by gossiping)..
Just love the message in this video.
Wow!! This was great
Living The Shuffle.
Improv is important I see.

Should of asked him about the parent hood
Great nigga
Really? The Making of The 5 Heartbeats, and omitting THE DELLS,
who's life story was the SCRIPT for this great movie. Well it's a little late
for that Robert Townsend, because the Genie is already 'Out of the Jug'
and Everyone knows that The Mighty Dells were the Template for this movie.
Maybe You should review, some of the Award Shows, where you presented The Dells with
Awards for The 5 Heartbeats. Maybe you should tell The World, how The
Dells performed "Oh What A Nite" and "Stay In My Corner" in the Movie, that you left
on the Cutting Room Floor. Maybe you should stop lying.
An angry fan with a fake Dells account on the internet. No way. Im shocked.
