I’m pretty sure he was Johnny Sunshine for a time.
he remembers it by having it put on a coffee mug
That was almost entirely Tim Reid’s doing. The man is very against stereotypical portrayals of black actors, and convinced the producers that he could make Venus Flytrap an interesting character without resorting to them. But they had to get the show on the air first. I don’t have a cite on hand - this is something I remember hearing him say in one of the many interviews he’s done on radio (or read in the paper) years ago. He’s a favorite son around these parts - graduate of Norfolk State University and a very generous donor to that school.
What was the pronounciation Les used for a certain latino golfer (spell it phonetically)?
Why did Venus spend an entire episode trying to avoid Les?
What was so special about the Dating Service Les used on Herbs behest?
Chy Chy (rhymes with shy shy) ROD-ri-gweez
Les had painted himself black.
It was actually a service for men who sought certain (ahem) sexual services.
and the little mexican hairless dog was a “chiy-who-a-who-a”
It isn’t? 
I’d forgotten that episode. He’d read the book Black Like Me and decided to do likewise.
I loved the episode when Les had a groupie and you got to see his house and, sort of, his dog.
What’s the name of Les’s cherished award?
