John Witherspoon, Comedian and Actor in ‘Friday,’ ‘Tracy Morgan Show,’ Dies at seventy seven

In a TV and film career that spanned five decades, the comedian also starred in popular TV series ‘The Wayan Bros.’ and ‘The Boondocks’ as well as movies such as ‘Bulworth,’ ‘Vampire in Brooklyn’ and ‘Dr. Doolittle 2.’
John Witherspoon, the prolific comic actor who starred in the cult Friday franchise as well as his long stint on The Wayan Bros. and The Tracy Morgan Show, has died. He was 77.

A statement from Witherspoon’s family posted on his official Twitter account confirmed that the comedian had died. «It is with deep sadness we have to tweet this, but our husband & father John Witherspoon has passed away. He was a Legend in the entertainment industry, and a father figure to all who watched him over the years. We love you “POPS” always & forever.»

In a long film and TV career that spanned five decades, Witherspoon also had major roles in cult animated show The Boondocks (voicing the role of Gramps) and roles in cult films such as House Party and Meteor Man as well as Hollywood movies like Vampire in Brooklyn, Bulworth and Dr. Doolittle 2.

But on the big screen, Witherspoon is most immediately associated with his hilarious role as Ice Cube’s dog-catcher father in F. Gary Gray’s Friday (1995) and its two sequels Next Friday (2000) and Friday After Next (2002). Witherspoon was set to reprise his role in Last Friday, but the project was in pre-production and had yet to start filming.

On TV, Witherspoon played the memorable role of John «Pops» Williams on The Wayan Bros. show that aired on The WB from 1995 to 1999.

Born in Detroit, Witherspoon first broke into stand-up comedy in the 1960s and 1970s and was a contemporary of the likes of Robin Williams and Richard Pryor. He transitioned into TV roles with parts in the The Richard Pryor Show, The Incredible Hulk and Good Times.

Witherspoon was a prolific worker and had major roles deep into his seventies. He recently starred in Adult Swim’s Black Jesus, and the Obama-inspired sitcom The First Family.

He is survived by his wife Angela, and his sons JD and Alexander.

Invitan a la Carrera con Causa en San Felipe para prevenir el cáncer de mama

Invitan a la Carrera con Causa en San Felipe para prevenir el cáncer de mama

Chihuahua, Chih.— El próximo domingo 1° de junio se llevará a cabo la 28ª Carrera Rotaria con Causa, organizada por el Club Rotario San Felipe, con el objetivo de fomentar la prevención del cáncer de mama y generar conciencia sobre la importancia de la detección oportuna.

Bajo el lema “¡Únete a la causa que salva vidas!”, esta actividad deportiva y solidaria invita a correr por todas las mujeres que han enfrentado esta enfermedad: madres, hermanas, amigas… ¡y por todas las que aún pueden prevenirla!

¿Qué es el cáncer de mama?
Es una proliferación maligna de las células epiteliales que revisten los conductos o lobulillos mamarios. En México, el cáncer de mama es la principal causa de muerte por cáncer en mujeres. La detección temprana es crucial para mejorar las tasas de supervivencia. Sin embargo, muchos casos se diagnostican en etapas avanzadas debido a la falta de acceso a servicios de salud y al desconocimiento sobre la importancia de los exámenes preventivos.

Detección y diagnóstico
La herramienta más eficaz para la detección temprana es la mastografía, una prueba que permite identificar cambios antes de que sean palpables.

Factores de riesgo

Ser mujer y tener más de 40 años

Antecedentes familiares de cáncer de mama

Mutaciones genéticas hereditarias (BRCA1 y BRCA2)

Terapias hormonales prolongadas

Obesidad y sedentarismo

Por todo esto, tienes una cita este 1° de junio en la Ciudad Deportiva de Chihuahua para participar en esta carrera con causa. La salida será en un ambiente familiar que promueve la salud, la convivencia y el apoyo a una lucha que nos involucra a todos.

¡EJERCÍTATE, CONVIVE Y APOYA!
