Jimmie Walker
For his performance in Good Times, Jimmie Walker brought home two Golden Globe awards. A lot of people remember him for his “Dy-n-omite!” catchphrase. The actor eventually went into the radio world. Over the years, he has hosted shows on WOAI, WHIO, KKAR, and WLS. In 2012, he released his autobiography under the title “Dyn-o-mite! Good Times, Bad Times, Out Times – A Memoir.” At the moment, he is touring as a standup comedian.
Vanilla Ice
We are sure that you can’t help but sing along to “Ice, Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice whenever you hear it. It made history as the first hip-hop track to reach the top spot of the Billboard charts. This was also the first time that the genre reached a mainstream audience. Did you know that the rapper is now a jet ski racer? Even though he still appears in TV retrospectives, he is more focused on his pro athlete career.
