Garrett Morris on Doing Coke w/ John Belushi, Blackballed By Belushi's "Racist" Manager (Part 5) 

He’s totally referring to Bernie Brillstein, who was also the Manager of many SNL greats. That’s really disappointing to hear. Garrett deserved so much more! He’s an icon.

he was on hunter in the 80s martin in the 90s 2 broke girls in the 2000s this man been on t.v. longer than i been alive

Garrett Morris and his stories would’ve been perfect for the Chapelle Show skits back in the day. Always been a character for so many decades; I know his behind the scenes stories are legendary.

As a black native New Yorker who was born in the 60s I agree 100% about the racism of those people

Garrett keeping real during his times of acting on all social levels.

Garrett Morris. I grew up knowing him as Martin’s boss on Martin. But man, he’s had an impressive career. Little known fact about Morris, he was the first man to portray Marvel’s Ant Man in television during his run on SNL.

Garrett Morris would have been great in Blues Brothers

Morris really went through it with racism.

Bernie Brillstein was the manager for the people wondering. He was a movie producer also 🤷🏽‍♀️

Bernie Brillstein was the name of the manager who blackballed Mr. Morris.

The manager he's talking about is Bernie Brillstein. He managed most of the people on Saturday Night Live. I kind of got the impression that Bernie was a racist from his bio when he talked about how Eddie Murphy wasn't really impressive after his tenure on SNL. How ridiculous is that?

Brother Garrett played Chocolate Chip Charlie in the horror movie "The Stuff,"

Garrett was great on SNL and everything else he's been in. He is a underrated stand up performer very funny improvisation and mannerisms.

I have nothing against jews but I've never seen one human treat another human so badly until I saw a rich Jewish man yelling at everyone including me on a construction site he was totally out of line and made no sense on why he was screaming at everyone I have the only one to stand up to him I even quit my job on the spot there's no amount of money that will justify me subjecting myself to wrongful treatment

I love listening to Garrett Morris 💯

Now I gotta go watch Cooley High 🙌🏾

Bernie Brillstein was also Lorne Michaels manager.

Gotta be careful… it’s fine line before someone calls you anti-semitic.

My mother experienced the same thing when she first moved to NYC

The Untouchable Conversation

“Thank you berry much. Baseball been berry, berry good to me. Thank you. God bless you. Gracias!” Garrett Morris SNL 1978

Definitely talking about Bernie Brillstein

Glad yall got a chance to interview this great. I still watch Cooley High and The Jamie Foxx show. Great at comedy and drama rolls.

And one would be an absolute fool to say he is antisemitic. He explained it clearly that he was naive i thought view that they were all good ppl. An ignorant/blanketed idea. He had some eye opening experiences and realized they are just ordinary humans like the rest of us. You know what he's an old man. He can believe what he wants and say what he wants. He has earned that.

Bernie Brillstein was Belushi’s manager.

Damn triple og still remember from his beginning of his career..that’s dope af to me

Mr. Morris. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your great acting roles

More Belushi stories please

This is It! Great work Shawn & Glad

original snl member.

Thank you for posing this video. There was a time when I was wondering why I didn't see more of the talented Mr. Morris, and now I know what happened. I saddens me that Mr. Morris wasn't one of the Blues Brothers. He is a great singer, and would have been perfect in that role.

His role as Stan was incredible and played a part in the show's initial success. Shame what happened because his role was funny as hell.

Was it racist or was it he didn’t want you giving his client who had drug problems blow. Same goes for Issac 😂

Damn Yall see the brother throw up That masonic sign. They got everybody.

At first i thought he was doing coke with john cena i had to read it over

He just nailed it on how it is for every race/religion ..good seeds and bad seeds

Stan was cool but UNCLE JUNIOR was my favorite

Vlad thank you for this I’ve love this man’s style of acting for years! From Martin to Jamie Fox, to movies etc

Facts , I met good Jewish people , and I also met bad ones . One of my clients I work with is this old Jewish lady, in her 60s and she’s extremely nice and humble but she’s also middle class. I wonder if classism plays a role in their perspective

This legend here is proof that you never know what the universe has in store for u. there are people who never done drugs one day of their life and they are gone , some do it once are gone- this man here is almost 90 years and looks great for his age.

Uncle jr. Still alive. Whats up with kings tower

His manager was 'Bernie Brillstein'... Shalom!

My man, if you have to ask if Belushi was as wild off set as he was on camera you haven't done your research.

Belushi was a badass

He play in a movie in 1985 called the stuff

Some are good and some are not. That as with all people

John Belushi's manager name was Bernie brillstein

A TRUE LEGEND and American Treasure - SALU' Garrett 👑

Growing up in New York not renting to ppl of color was a very common practice.

Damn bros still alive

The Jeffersons went off Television in 1986

Legend 🙏🏾

Thats crazy i didn't know he was still alive. Im amazed

Belushi's Agent: Bernard Jules Brillstein (April 26, 1931 - August 7, 2008) was an American film and television producer, executive producer, and talent agent. He began his career in the 1950s at the William Morris Agency before founding his own company in 1969 and later joining forces with Brad Grey to helm Brillstein-Grey Entertainment (now Brillstein Entertainment Partners), one of the most important and influential Hollywood talent management and production companies. He is remembered for producing successful TV programs like Hee Haw, The Muppet Show, and The Sopranos, and hit films including The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters and Happy Gilmore. Source Wiki

We all love this guy.

Great info

Very underrated actor singer multi talented. He deserves a Netflix movie. Soon 🔜 iconic life.

Great to See You Cousin @MrGarrettMorris is my Great Cousin on my Mother's Side of my Family I have Family Photos of him and my Grandfather Drinking a Beer Together in 1967✊🏽🍺

What about the Hunters, series 🎉love it speedie James 😊...

Name drop bro!!! Help end the cycle of racism in the industry

It sort of makes sense. The only thing I remember Morris doing in the ‘80s was Hunter as “Sporty”.

I already knew the ethnicity/religion/race of the racist before Garrett said it.

Coke heads are immortal

Close your eyes and you'll think you're listening to Quincy Jones.

Daaaang fr Uncle Jr. 🤔❤

Do another interview for the hard of hearing.

He had to come home to get respect

The Pepsi Syndrome skit- in drag as Violet Crawford, too funny! Garrett is a TV icon. 👍

Always wondered why he wasn't in the blues brothers. Would've been a stellar addition!

Is he talking about Isaac from The Love Boat as his friend??

BASEBALL BEEN BETTY BETTY. GOOD TO ME!!! MY FAVORITE LINE OF HIS!!! SNL😂😊

Bernie Brillstein was Belushi's longtime manager.

Him and I were both born on February 1st. Chocolate Chip Charlie from The Stuff.

So that’s probably why Garrett Morris’ career never took off in a major way. Now I wonder since he made this revelation will they attach the antisemitism label on him?

So he cops to a stereotypical lifestyle of coke dealing…then feels discriminated against when a landlord is weary of exactly that same problem/risk. Huh.

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is Bernie Brillstein.

Loved him on the Jamie Fox Show ❤

Real talent

The Jewish guy is Bernie brillstien.

The managers name is Bernie Brillstien

It happened all the time and still does. ☹️

Stan had dem hoez 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Still, I’m not paying rent to someone who didn’t want my money in the first place.

I believe the racist he speaks of is Bernie Brillstein who also managed Jim Henson, Lorne Michaels, Martin Short, just to name a few. He looks like a racist I encountered in Tennessee.

Bernie Brillstein, was John Belushi's manager.

Isn’t this exactly what Ye was talking about 🤔

The Original Antman

Then they call Kanye crazy when he made his comments. He know what’s going on. He’s not that damn crazy.

Mr. Mason, always and forever! I remember Phife Dawg saying I'll have you left Without a job Like Issac Fron The Loveboat on "Midnight Marauders". To hear this, now....

Bernie Brillstein is the managers name.

Uncle JR😂

Bernie Briestein his name..yeah....not surprised

luckily blues Brothers was kept an all white movie.

They wanted to sleep with them and denied their advancements and boom blackballed

I imagine he’s talking about Bernie Brillstien, a hugely popular agent back then. Damn, he seemed like a cool guy. Never met him but 🤷🏽‍♂️

Garrett Morris' summary of white jews is on point !

Damn. I didn't know he was still alive! 😳 Hey Garrett 👋

John Adam Belushi (/bəˈluːʃi/; January 24, 1949 - March 5, 1982) was an American comedian, actor, and musician. He was one of the seven original cast members of the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL). Throughout his career, Belushi had a personal and artistic partnership with his fellow SNL star Dan Aykroyd, whom he met while they were both working at Chicago's Second City comedy club. Born in Chicago to Albanian-American parents, Belushi started his own comedy troupe with Tino Insana and Steve Beshekas, called "The West Compass Trio". After being discovered by Bernard Sahlins, he performed with The Second City and met Aykroyd, Brian Doyle-Murray, and Harold Ramis. In 1975 Chevy Chase and Michael O'Donoghue recommended Belushi to SNL creator and showrunner Lorne Michaels, who accepted him as a new cast member of the show after an audition. Belushi developed a series of characters on the show that reached great success, including his performances as Henry Kissinger and Ludwig van Beethoven. After his breakout film role as Bluto in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), Belushi appeared in films such as 1941, The Blues Brothers, and Neighbors. He also pursued interests in music: with Aykroyd, Lou Marini, Tom Malone, Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Paul Shaffer, he founded The Blues Brothers, which led to the film of the same name. Belushi struggled with heavy drug abuse that threatened his comedy career; more than once, he was dismissed from SNL due to his behavior (and then rehired). In 1982, he died from combined drug intoxication at the age of 33, after a drug dealer, Cathy Smith, injected him with a mixture of heroin and cocaine (known as a speedball) at the Chateau Marmont. He was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004. Source Wiki
