If they ever made a movie version of 'Sanford & Son', they should have John Witherspoon play Fred Sanford. I think he would be the best and only choice.

I love John Witherspoon, he is the funniest guy on the planet, he should be working 24-7.
I'd like to see him host the Oscars! The first time I saw him was in Hollywood Shuffle uttering the funniest line in the movie "Winkie Dinkie Ho Cake, Ho's got to eat too!"

I agree. He is hilarious. Sometimes I wish he was my dad.

Exactly! I came here to say the same thing, I've been hoping that they would do a movie (I usually hate remakes/reboots but this would be great if done right) and he would be the only one I would consider to have the role of Fred G. Sanford!
It's quite possible I may never follow up with anything I post.

I fully agree! In fact, he was in a Wayans brother's movie called Little Man from 2006 in which he was dressed and bearded somewhat like Fred G. Sanford. Also I can see Shawn Wayans playing the Lamont Sanford role too.
