Any fans here? Was just listening to an interview he did on Howard Stern, 'round about 2001. Very interesting guy (and, of course, gone too soon ).

Big fan, though I did not find out about him until Kings of Comedy and he didn't have that many years left. Immense talent.

During the Stern interview, he basically dissed Spike Lee.

I miss him! Funny guy, but still stayed socially relevant....

Funny you started this thread! He was just on the comedy channel yesterday, and I told my husband, "so sad he's gone" He was like "he died"

Loved Bernie Mac. I was just thinking of him today in church while I was helping the tweens' Sunday school: man, the boys were so ruthlessly unruly and disrespectful towards the other teachers (I'm there specifically to care for one paralyzed child so theoretically they're not supposed to be my problem); I was about two seconds from telling them "if you don't sit your behind down and hush, I c I'mma call ya mamma down here to beat'cho behind down to the white meat. "...I'm telling you, this afternoon was one of those truly hellish experiences where you know just exactly what Bernie meant when he said,

"I don't care, I'll punch a muth*****in' kid in the thoat"

Man, I was missing him at that moment

Ive been watching Soul Men alot resently Bernie is so good in that...He was a funny guy and a nice man..

I'm a fan. Bernie acting chops were superb; unfortunately most of his films didn't match talent.

When ever the movie "Life" is shown on cable, I watch it. I can't tolerate Eddie Murphy nor Martin Lawerence but Bernie's acting in that movie is touching. What a lost.

Bernie was Big on the Comedy-Club circuit before he went Mainstream...People think Bernie's career started when he made it to TV but he was making $$$$ selling out shows in smaller venues and clubs...So he earned his Mainstream success. Deff gone to soon.....

And as far as I'm concerned he was the KING of Comedy when he ttoured with the other Brothas...

One of my all time favorite comedians. I first became aware of him during Def Comedy Jam and loved him ever since. Wish he was still around..the comedy world could use him right now.

He was definitely a favorite in our household.

I loved Bernie Mac... I loved his parenting skits... it was like he was in my head.

I miss the Bernie Mac show and his brand of humor. He was a great talent. I miss him. RIP

The part about the woman giving him head in Kings of Comedy still kills me

He's from the Robin Harris school, although I don't really find Mr.Harris that funny.

y'all know it's him saying

"You Don't understand. I ain't scared of y'all motherfuckers" In "Pope"

Yup. There's also a sample in Pope from Bernie's first Def Jam performance....'she'll help you once again"

"....now i got a 2 year old, a 4 year old and a 6 year old in my house (crowd goes "ooh") OOH SHIT! COME HELP ME BABY SIT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS!"

Bernie was a funny dude, especially on his sitcom. Nice family-fun. He is missed.

Bernie always had me doubled over, with a pain in the side kind of laughter. I must admit, I did not like his show (Bernie Mac show) when it first aired. I was like huh? What kind of mess is this?!?! However, I realized his brilliance in creating that show and I ended up loving it! I still watch reruns. I was on vacation when he passed in Myrtle Beach, it was a sad moment for sure. He was too young and his presence is surely missed in the comedic circle.

Big fan. Dug his TV show, but was mostly a fan of his small parts in movies. Friday, the Ocean's movies (yes, I actually like them), Bad Santa, etc. I didn't know his stand up other than Kings Of Comedy, and I really didn't laugh that much when I watched that.
