Career
Jimmie Walker started working full-time for W.R.V.R., the Riverside Church’s radio station, in 1967. Walker began doing stand-up comedy in 1969 and was found by the casting director for Good Times after appearing on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In and the Jack Paar Show. During Good Times fame, he only released one stand-up comedy CD, Dyn-o-mite, on Buddah Records (5635). Walker was 26 years old during the 1974-75 season of Good Times, while his character was considerably younger. The actor who played Walker’s father on Good Times, John Amos, was just eight years Walker’s senior.
Walker attributes the phrase “Dyn-o-mite!” to producer/director John Rich, who demanded Walker utter it on every episode. Walker and executive producer Norman Lear were both suspicious of the notion, but the phrase and Walker’s persona became popular.
Jimmie Walker did not get along with the series lead, Esther Rolle, both off and on-screen, since she and Amos disapproved of Walker’s growing buffoonish demeanor and popularity. Walker was stung by their scorn. Amos (before Rolle) left the program due to dissatisfaction, leaving Walker the show’s star. Walker was the only member of the Good Times crew who did not attend Rolle’s burial.
