  • Weezie is dead: the origin of Weezguy (true story)


     Isabelle Sanford (Louise "Weezie" Jefferson) passes away July 12, 2004.

    This is a true story. Many people have asked where I got the name Weezguy from. So with the passing of Isabelle Sanford, the original "weezie", I will share this info. Years ago, I used to work on a truck tour where we traveled across America. Our boss was quite a bitch and we disliked her. One day we found out her middle name was Louise and she HATED it. So to make fun of her, we called her Weezie (derived from the Lo -UISE "Weezie" character on the popular Jeffersons show). Furthermore, we created Weezie email names, so when we emailed her reports, she was forced to see WEEZ something in the emails. Mine was Weezguy, and some others were WeezJam, and  Weezyusa. Thus began the birth of Weezguy. No, it did not come from the group Weezer (Buddy Holly song).


     May 17, 1980 TV Guide cover


    The Jeffersons were one of the most hilarious shows of its day. It last aired in 1985 and depending on the season, they sometimes show reruns on the WB, UPN and NickAtNite. It was a spin off from All in the Family (Archie Bunker). Basically it was about a how a short big mouthed black man successfully clawed his way up against "honkeys". It had some racist jokes, and colorful characters. You have to watch 5 episodes before you start to understand how funny the show was. This current background music was the theme song, but you can download it here. You may have seen their characters last on some episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Denny's and Old Navy commercials.


    In reverences to mother Weezie Jefferson, I will delay writing articles for a little bit, but am thinking of topics, such as: How to Hook up, or What Xangans want from sex (male version).  If you are still interested in the Cross Country Road trip, let me know =)
