I met this brother twice, once in the JFK Delta boarding area for a flight to LA and another time on 125th Street in front to the Adam Clayton Powell Jr State Office Building. Both times he was down to earth and willing to chop it up like he knew me for years. He will be missed.

Met him in Times Square, super cool

I remember meeting him several times. He was funny, eccentric and down to earth. Always told great stories about Hollywood in the 70s in 80s.Rest well brother.

No question about Paul Mooney's talent as a writer and performer but I had a problem with his sometimes mean spirited, over the top, way too personal comedic bits directed at people.. I can recall him reducing Tracie Ellis Ross to tears over his five minute long embarrassing take down, or should I say put down, of her mother. Sometimes you can just go too far and Mooney late in his career often did.

What made him great was he exposed Hollywood and racism through his comedy

I was fortunate to see him live when he was touring at the improv in Houston...

VERY funny in person, VERY grounded, VERY real with his comedy and insights... dude had them white folks in they feelings from the beginning... told them straight up "this ain't Chappelle Show" and proceeded to get in they ass so bad a few got up and walked out with him badgering them the entire time...

Legend is almost an understatement for this guy... and I'm glad I got to see him in person

I "Choose to believe" that at the Prime table of the council comprising all of our ancestors, that Brother Paul Mooney, has had a seat set aside in reservation for his arrival!!! Rest in Praise, Power, and Peace!!!

I knew it was imminent, I just never wanted it to be “today.”

He had been suffering from either early onset Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s for a couple of years now.

Man, the ancestors just gained a LEGEND!

He connected all the great comedic dots.

yeah and prostate cancer
rip

The only guy I ever saw that could pack the joint with white people. Then talk about them telling them how fucked up they are, an they sit there laughing at everything he said.
