In this VladTV flashback, the late John Witherspoon detailed why Chris Tucker never appeared in another Friday film. According to Witherspoon, Tucker's starring role in the Rush Hour trilogy garnered him much fame and fortune that he couldn't justify returning to Friday. John also talked about every cast member making just $5,000 for the film, but Chris Tucker recently revealed he managed to get a little extra.

I can't believe they were only paid 5k for Friday and that it was shot in 20 days! It truly is a classic.

This man was a serious loss to the world. He was an amazing man. And funny as hell. If they do ever make another Friday. It will be sad to not have him in it.

People loved "FRIDAY" because everyone has been around those types of characters growing up

When I close my eyes, I keep thinking of his character from Boondocks. He was so good on that show, too.

Friday is one of the greatest black hood movies if not the greatest

I love him as granddad in the boondocks I think that was his best role so far. He embodied that character to the fullest. I always heard his voice when I’d read the comic strips in the Sunday papers.

"Macaroni".......I laughed til I cried on that one. I just realized I miss this man. The Wayans bro show was my shit after school. You're right sir, there will never be another Friday, because you left us,🥺🥺🥺 rest in heaven
