The best writers left the show after the first couple of years, he said, and now that 'Good Times" is in Its fourth year it Just 15n t funn anymore. "It's gotten too riou to be really a comedy," he satd. ., John Amos who srnrted 1th the show, left and has been rrplaced by Moses Gunn. •· 'ow, he's a fine Sliakespearean actor," said Walker. "But he's not funny. And in comedy, being funny ts kind of important." Feeling as he does about the state of telev1sion in general, sit corns in particular, and his show most particularly, doesn't he feel a tad like a hypocnte laking CBS' money? "For a comedian," he said in his dressing room after a how at the l mversily of ~;R Diego, "televis1or. IS llkf' having a rec'Ord - it's the. way for me to get exposed . If there v,as another way to have done it, I would have." During his on-stage routine, Walker said blacks on the telly have made great progress, "except in the area of black golf announcers." "And there aren't many black golfers, either. Y'all must b afraid to see a black man walkmg through the v,oods swinging a club.'' "You c nnot believe the power of television," opmed \'valker who, at 6 ft. 1 m., 130 pounds, is among the few human beings on this planet who could sat fy an insurance company's suggested weight chart "I went on the Mike Douglas show and 1 men- tioned in passmg that I had never been out with an airline stewardess or a Playboy bunny You would not believe the response I got " I got 200 letters from guys who said they never had either." Through his routine, Walker broke up th audi- ence with quips about folks seated nearby, about race relations, about dope, about television and about school. His own schooling having ground to a halt before high school graduation, Walker had only a few years of personal experience on which to draw. A sample: "My school in the South Bronx, my seventh grade class, went on a field tnp to the Jail When I rame home mv mother asked me what we - saw. We saw e 10th "grade class." Joke time ended after an hour or so, and Walker took ques ions from the audience any were a momentous as "what's vour favorite food?" but students also wanted to °know what Ile felt about drugs, marriage and the world at large "I'm very anti-drug," he said. Walk r noted that his friend Freddie Prinze had taken drugs before finally committing suicide, and offered that "that should be a prime example for young p pl!'!." He also voiced some serious re rvations about the future of marriage m modem society such reservations being greeted with skepticism by many in the audience In a refreshing demonstration that stu nts are people who ran think, folks in the audi nc didn't merely sop up whatewr Walker chose to tell lhern. At times he hardly demonstrated the wisdom of Solomon and the students knew 1t. Which, said Walker, ls okay with him, He plays maybe 150 college concerts a year, uses them as therapy and as a place find more comedy material. He is at home on a stage before young people. "Colleges are where the people are," he said. "Vegas is where the money is."
