Married with Children Podcast

In another epic interview, the podcast team was honored to have the great Harold Sylvester join us in the nudie bar! Harold, as you all know, played Al's sidekick Griff from seasons 9 through the end of season 11.  Chris, Tyler, and Matt spent over two hours going through his 50 year career in television and film.  Not only is Harold an actor, but he is also a writer and producer.  His filmography includes roles in such films as Inside Moves, An Officer and a Gentlemen, Uncommon Valor, Vision Quest and Innerspace, to name a few.  On television he appeared in such shows as Wheels, Barnaby Jones, Walking Tall, Mary, Shaky Ground, A Different World, The Army Show, and City of Angels.  Harold wrote the screenplay for the TV movie Passing Glory, which described a particular episode in his high school life at St. Augustine's High School in New Orleans.  We learned that Harold was a scholar athlete and received 150 college scholarship offers, but chose to play college basketball at Tulane University, the first African American to receive an athletic scholarship from that school.  We talked about his education, early roles and just how un-Griff like he is in real life!

Of course we talked a lot about Married with Children as well: his comedic inspiration, who he was up against for the character of Griff (who will really surprise you), his favorite episodes, and MUCH MUCH MORE!

This interview was also a historic first for the current podcast team in that it was the first time that all 6 co-hosts were present for a live recording.  We were all so grateful that he was so generous and patient with his time and know that this interview will not disappoint you.   Please take a moment and leave a comment below which he may read.  We can't guarantee that he will answer anyone's comments, but we do know that he will enjoy hearing how his roles continue to entertain his fans.

So grab a stool, crack open a Girlie Girl beer, and let's listen in to the great Harold Sylvester!
