After "The Jeffersons", Sherman Hemsley starred in NBC's newest comedy series, "Amen" in 1986. I had no idea at the time that this was a "golden age" for black actors in all forms of entertainment on TV. Free from the character of George Jefferson, Sherman Hemsley got to expand his appeal with a new venue and a new cast on a new show.
I've been waiting for a HQ YouTube clip from the Amen episode, "Wedding Bell Blues", but all I can find is a very poor quality video from 2011.
This is a long clip, so you'll have to be patient - it has one of the funniest courtroom scenes this side of "Night Court" where Sherman Hemsley's character, Deacon Frye, calls his accuser, "a chainsaw in a skirt". On the night that NBC aired this episode, Sherman Hemsley proved that when it came to comedy: He's Our Man, LOL!
