Sinbad
Do
you remember Sinbad?: Well, most people don't. He was a family
friendly comedian from back in the day. I mean this guy was
popular...really popular. He had a few movies and major specials.
(Plus, people remember those ugly pants he had.)
I've
always been interested in Sinbad because he glowed red hot in the 80s
and early 90s and completely disappeared after that. No one gave a
shit about Sinbad. It seemed I was the only trying to keep up with
Sinbad. I remember reading that he was doing company gigs at meeting
and crap.
After
Jingle All The Way, he pretty much disappeared from the face of the
planet. Now, he's saying he made a mistake doing Celebrity
Apprentice. This is a place where actors and reality stars go to
die. From
Huffington Post, (("I
never should have done 'Celebrity
Apprentice,'"
he says in the clip. "I didn't want to do it because I didn’t
want Donald
Trump to
say, 'You're fired.'"
))
He
made fun of his lost fame in a stand up comedy event called “Where
You been?” And,
you can watch the entire video here.
Okay, this stand up is very funny. Damn you, Sinbad. That was funny.
Sinbad likes Good Burgers.
His famous roles
The
Cosby Show
:
He played a different character than the one he played on Different
World, but DW is set in the same universe as The Cosby Show. Very
strange.
A
Different World
:
Besides his stand up shows, this is where most people remember him
from. From what I read, he left the show because he couldn't get
along with the showrunner.
Necessary
Roughness
:
Not to be confused with the TV show of the same name. This movie had
Qutaum Leap starring with Sinbad. It wasn't a good movie. “Welcome,
to Foot...ball.”
Coneheads
:
I remember him being very funny in this movie. Often, this movie is
overlooked, but I really dig it a lot.
The
Meteor Man
:
Stay away from this movie.
The
Sinbad Show: I
don't remember this show. It looks like a by the numbers sitcom.
Salma
Hayek
has a few appearances on the show. Damn she is hot.
Houseguest
:
I hate to say this, but it isn't as good as people remember it. It
hasn't aged well, and I used to really love the movie.
First
Kid
: I hate this movie with everything that is holy. I actually saw
this in the theaters too.
Jingle
All the Way
: Crap.
The
Cherokee Kid
: I actually liked this movie too. From what I read, this movie was
supposed to come out in the theaters, but was thrown onto HBO as an
original movie instead. I haven't seen it in ages so it might not
hold up as well.
Good
Burger
: Yes, he was in the movie...in a small part.
