Redd Foxx (1922-1991) #BOTD went from an X-rated comic who made adults-only "party records" to a cuddly doll for kids.

@RiversideBryan This is the big one! I'm dying! You hear that, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join you, honey! #ReddFoxx

Tonight in 1972 — #SanfordAndSon debuted on NBC.

Despite being a midseason replacement, the #NormanLear-produced sitcom starring #ReddFoxx and #DemondWilson ended the 1971-72 season as the sixth-highest-rated show on TV!

Tonight in 1973 — Aunt Esther made her debut on #SanfordAndSon.

#LaWandaPage had never been on TV before — and she became a star at 53!

Tonight in 1975 — #SanfordAndSon’s only #Christmas episode aired on NBC.

“Ebenezer Sanford” was a spoof of “A Christmas Carol” w/ #ReddFoxx as Scrooge!

The #1970s – when a comedian who made X-rated party records became a talking doll for "youngsters."

We miss you, #ReddFoxx.

"I refused to work unless they let me do what I thought was honest."

#ReddFoxx (1922–1991) was born 100 years ago today.

Celebrating 100 years of Redd!

On this day, December 9th, in 1922: Redd Foxx was born in St. Louis.

Today's screening: He was so much more than "Sanford and Son."

Today's soundtrack: His dirty records are so damn filthy. "Adults Only" is so good.
