2:54Now PlayingDee Dee Davis says The Bernie Mac Show ending hit right before her 10th birthday. She believes Bernie Mac’s health was one of the main reasons the series wrapped after five seasons.
By the last season, she says the cast could see it. Filming got harder for him, so they taped episodes out of order and worked around scenes when he couldn’t be there. She also remembers an oxygen tank on set.
Even then, Dee Dee says Bernie never let her see him down. If he was struggling, he didn’t show it. In her eyes, he handled it like a soldier and stayed in good spirits around the kids.
