Watch: Bernie Mac Documentary Coming Soon, Will You Watch?

Friday Jan 27, 2012 – by

There aren’t many comedians who could be as funny and ignorant as Bernie Mac was. Between stand-up routines like The Kings of Comedy and his softer side on the sitcom The Bernie Mac Show, he was all-around hilarious. When Bernie Mac passed away from pneumonia complicated by the lung disease sarcoidosis, he left a huge hole in the entertainment landscape.

On February 19, Comedy Central will air a documentary giving tribute to his talent, featuring interviews with friends, family and colleagues. The special will also include never before seen performances and footage from his early life. Check out a clip below…

The special will also be available on DVD and for digital download on February 21.

My favorite Bernie Mac moment is the “I hate black people” scene from Don’t Be a Menace While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood. I still laugh at it EVERY time! What’s yours?

Do you plan on watching this tribute?

    Yes I will watch. I loved Bernie Mac since Comic View and Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam.

  2. B.Payne says:

    Yes.I.Will

    Bernie will always be one of my favorite comedians and I’m still shocked at his death.

  3. Elle Perry says:

    Yes! He is missed.

    My son idolizes Mr Mac from what he’s seen on the Bernie Mac Show. From his relationship with the kids to his home, style of dress…
    I’m happy that that’s who my kid chose to look at as a role model. I know the Mac Man for different thangs so I’m going to have to watch it before he does.

  5. LMO85 says:

    YES! Thanks for this, will tune in….I MISS Bernie!

  6. Nah, i probably won’t see it. I wasn’t a fan of ol’ boy 20 years ago when he first appeared on Def Comedy Jam. I didn’t like him then and still don’t care for him now.

  7. Diem says:

    I will definitely watch! I hope Steve Harvey is not one of the “friends” commenting though. It is well known he was jealous of Bernie’s success and tried unsuccessfully to sabotage his career. All of those crocodile tears he shed after his death was insulting and nauseating so I hope Comedy Central will focus on those who loved and knew Bernie best.

  8. Miss September says:

    Yes , will most definitely watch my all time favorite comedian

  9. Blasé says:

  11. Kimberley says:

    I’ll tune in. Bernie Mac was hilarious! In addition to being funny, he was also very generous.

    “There aren’t many comedians who could be as funny and ignorant as Bernie Mac was.”

    Was he that uneducated (ignorant) really? Anyway. I like comedy, but nearly all Black comedians are too crass for me. I won’t be watching this tribute.

  13. BlackandAmazed says:

    It depends on who is making the documentary….and who will be playing Bernie Mac….Lanz Alzono or Michael Ealy? lol

    I love when Bernie was Dollar Bill in Playa’s Club….and was explaining how strippin started in Africa…lol

  14. complexity says:

    aw Bernie Mac. He is missed. I’ll watch.

  15. Alexandra says:

    Yes, I’ll watch. I’m interested in hearing about his life outside of comedy.
