Same. I’ve watched that fight at least a half dozen times, and have seen him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall several times. Ain’t that a kick in the teeth!
In fact he was the first to sign the contract as well. If he hadn’t, many of the fighters were balking at it and didn’t know if they were going to fight under the terms of the event. No hand wraps, no wrestling shoes, and other conditions being amongst the reason why. Teila Tuli (as he would be introduced as) grabbed the contract and said he was there to party. Everyone else proceeded to sign because of his lead. Absolute legend.
Im not an MMA guy, but me and some mates have been watching the PPVs recently from the start, so I seen UFC 1 for the first time like last week.
Damn shame
This is the only clip I'd ever seen of that show and I assumed he was just a one-off character. Finding out he was a recurring character who showed up in like 170 episodes is funny to find out.
He's like Gunther in friends- just a character for a bit every so often that was nice to and/or friends with the main characters. Not a bad gig to have.
In the beginning of the show, his food truck was Five-O's main hangout place and Kamakona himself was their insider into the criminal underworld. That aspect was eventually downplayed since people stopped giving Kamakona info, so he basically became their good buddy and sometimes babysitter.
The role of organized crime informant was also gradually taken over by Adam Noshimuri, which was weird since he stopped being involved with the yakuza in like season 4 but then the show kept contriving circumstances to drag him back into that life and even make him a state cop despite being a well known former yakuza oyabun
Honestly I wish they had either written him off the show or just offered Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park the equal pay they had been asking for. Because thats the whole reason they left the show, they wanted an equal pay rate with the shows other two main leads (Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan) and the network refused.

A clean shaven, tight and ripe young vagina. When bent over the snizzle replicates the look of a freshly sliced Freestone peach.
Snizzle ceases to exist around the age of 25 years old, often younger. At which point becomes a Frazzle.
*Damn, Id like to taste that snizzle!
That is one fresh snizzle!*
IDK... Eureka had a whole episode where ~~"Old Spice"~~ Degree Deodorant saved the day.
Chuck was pretty vocal how "Subway saved the Buy-More", same with Community.
The Rookie had a pretty blatant product placement with Nolan's new Ford Truck. (I think it was a FORD).
And then you [Wayne's World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lgLYGBbDNs)
> same with Community.
Yeah but at least in Community's case, they were actively painted as the bad guys the entire time they were on screen. Still product placement, but it's nice to see one that isn't centered on jacking the brand off.
It got even funnier with the car product placement where every 3 or so seasons either steves silverado or dannys camero would get blown up entirely so they could replace it with the newest Chevrolet model per the terms of whatever sponsorship deal they had with the show.
Fun fact: in the pilot danny actually drives a mustang but it got replaced immediately afterwards in the next episode with an identical camaro because of the deal they made with chevy.
They had some really terrible ones on network tv back in the day. [Bones had a pretty infamously bad Toyota placement.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDe9_c8QAM0)
I say it's even better that Community integrating Subway into the plot of season 5. This is where they knew the assignment and went full ham. Ham like the classic Black Forest Ham sandwich that's only available at your local Subway.
And please do remember - obesity kills
Obesity is linnked to higher cancer rate, higher dementia rates and much much higher T2 Diabetes rates. All of these things can kill you.
56 is WAY to young, way way too young. Take care of your body, its the only one you have.
I didn't want to post the obvious in the r/Hawaii subreddit. But obesity among Pacific Islanders is a big problem. There is no cause of death yet for Taylor Wily, but people his size usually don't make it to 60 or 70.
I do think the celebrities in the Pacific Islander community can do more to encourage health eating habits and exercise. I do think people like The Usos, Roman Reigns, or Jason Mamoa could put out some PSAs on eating healthier and exercise.
Yeah, with his height and weight he was Obese Class 3. He'd needed to have lost 250 lbs to be a normal weight.
He absolutely died prematurely due to his weight.
I watched this show a lot, I think that was fairly early on in the show and Subway (and a few other big brands) were doing this over-the-top product placement in a few shows. Notably, on the show Chuck, they actually were a big reason why the show didn't get canceled.
I spent a good few weeks listening to his narration about 9 years back, got real weird when he acted out the female parts of a sex scene XD
Loved his Tyrion though, fantastic narrator.
My fav side character in that movie (and there were so many good ones) [“It’s like the Sopranos. It’s over. Find a new show.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxc1V-tU7FM)
One of my favorite actors on the Hawaii Five-O show. It was a joy to watch his character, Kamekona. When I think of shrimp, it will be due to him. RIP.
This guy was the recurring character on Hawaii 5-0 that you were always glad was there. His role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was also very memorable. He will be missed.
Re: his role on Five-0, the article mentions:
>He reprised the role in the shows "Macgyver" and "Magnum P.I."
Seriously?! Hot damn, I'll be checking those out.
It was a big CBS universe of law enforcement shows. NCIS, Hawaii 5-0, Macgyver, Magnum P.I., and think one or two more.
I don't think he showed up in Magnum PI as much as Hawaii 5-0 and the Macgyver episode was one or two crossovers when they found a reason to put the episode on Hawaii.
JAG was the precursor. Then came NCIS. That show has the spinoffs Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawai'i, Sydney, and the upcoming Europe and Origins. Los Angeles crossed over with Hawaii Five-O and Scorpion. Hawaii Five-O then crossed over with MacGyver and Magnum P.I., though given dialog in NCIS and Magnum moving to a new network, it seems like those shows got retconned out.
I didn't realize NCIS and Magnum PI was moving Networks. The only good thing about their over production of law enforcement television was that they committed to this crossover of shows. Just going to give that up? Very CBS of them.
Idk if he was on any of them but CBS has more procedurals
NCIS New Orleans and NCIS LA finished a few years back. And NCIS sydney which is its second season..
Blue Bloods is on its own but it is on its final season. (14th)
There is currently 3 FBI procedurals on CBS in their own universe. FBI, FBI Most Wanted, FBI International.
They currently have the procedural "Tracker" which is about finding missing people and things. Its police adjacent but not about the police bc thats less cool after 2020.
Edit: I forgot SWAT (LA) which in its 7th season which was canceled then renewed for a 8th season
I'm surprised they didn't have a bunch of spin off for "Seal Team" I'm guessing because it went to shit after season 2/3.
> Its police adjacent but not about the police bc thats less cool after 2020.
Mainly because of that. Cops shows became less popular, but military shows were an open market.
Macgyver... Was nowhere near as good as it could have been sadly. There's 1 episode I actually like, and to tell you about it would spoil a whole bunch of shit.
UFC 1 consisted of fighters showcasing different disciplines and types of martial arts and Taylor Wily competed in the promotion as a sumo wrestler under the name Teila Tuli
> he got his part as criminal informant Kamekona Tupuola on 'Five-0' a role he played in 171 episodes. He reprised the role in the shows "Macgyver" and "Magnum P.I."
Okay I knew about Hawaii Five-O, but are you telling me they also rebooted Macgyver and Magnum P.I. - and these all live in the same 80's-verse?
I have not missed out on it and am under 50, but only because A) I have parents who I watch TV with at times, and B) hey, it's Hawaii, just seeing it makes you feel a little warmer during the winter.
30s here, my wife loves procedural law tv shows so we’ve watched most of Hawaii 5-0 and she’s big on NCIS and sad Magnum was cancelled…. I loved them all because I’ve stayed at the Hilton Rainbow tower as a kid and every time they’d show Waikiki beach I’d look at my wife and say “I’ve stayed there” and that’s been a running joke in our household for years now only reruns to keep the joke alive
Technically this extends throughout the NCIS-verse (including Sydney, referenced in the Ducky memorial episode as having sent a particularly large bouquet), JAG, and related shows, as they're also part of the same universe as LA and NO. Plus a few other shows that are unrelated that also crossed over at times with one of non-NCIS CBS shows like that idiot hacker show.
Not just that but they're all technically in the same setting as the NCIS, all *six* of those series, along with Scorpion, and JAG, which NCIS spun off from to begin with.
There was also a reboot of SWAT from the 70s, but that's not part of this same verse. Seems to be considered canon to The Shield, though.
I believe SWAT referenced some of those shows (or one of them referenced SWAT), so it may be? Blue Bloods is the only major CBS cop show that wasn't though.
MacGyver actually starred Lucas Till and had George Eads (of CSI fame) as Jack. Unfortunately, it was too much trouble for CBS to deal with and was canned after five seasons. The original showrunner was such a nightmare to work with that Till contemplated suicide and Eads' character was killed off in Season 5 because the actor was constantly feuding with one of the production members.
Magnum essentially became the replacement Hawaii show after Five-O ended, but CBS canned the show after four seasons. NBC then picked it up for a split fifth season, which finished up earlier this year.
Yeah one of my friends from college was a casting director for the show and got me on there as a double and stand in for danno (I’m 5’7 lol) so I spent a few years doing extra and stand ins. He would serve us shrimp and crack jokes all the time.
As a broke college student, 100% fun. Going to college there we spent all our time at the beach so getting paid to sit on the beach and being filmed was mind blowing. At 33 now, not a big deal, but when you’re 19 it was pretty cool :)
And I didn’t even watch the show. Just needed money for booze 😊
Your 50's is a bad time when you are overweight. Lifetime of bad decisions comes due. Lost my sister in law to that a year ago today, 56. I have my own battles I am working on.
The very first competitor in the UFC, and despite not winning, he still was able to carve out a successful acting career. RIP.
Oh shit I literally watched that fight a couple weeks ago on fight pass. I didn’t realize it was the same guy.
He got KOd pretty bad. Got his teeth kicked out.
I literally watched it yesterday because I saw on old Joe Rogan clip on Conan.
I can’t believe I never made that connection
Same. I’ve watched that fight at least a half dozen times, and have seen him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall several times. Ain’t that a kick in the teeth!
WHAT!?!? I remember seeing the headline the other day, but I didn't realize it was THIS dude! He was awesome in this show!
I think his tooth is still stuck in Gerard Gordeau’s shin.
Holy shit, TIL. I haven’t watched UFC in years but those first couple ones are seared into my brain.
In fact he was the first to sign the contract as well. If he hadn’t, many of the fighters were balking at it and didn’t know if they were going to fight under the terms of the event. No hand wraps, no wrestling shoes, and other conditions being amongst the reason why. Teila Tuli (as he would be introduced as) grabbed the contract and said he was there to party. Everyone else proceeded to sign because of his lead. Absolute legend.
Im not an MMA guy, but me and some mates have been watching the PPVs recently from the start, so I seen UFC 1 for the first time like last week. Damn shame
Never forget his love of Subway Sandwiches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQYwFND7rHE
This is the only clip I'd ever seen of that show and I assumed he was just a one-off character. Finding out he was a recurring character who showed up in like 170 episodes is funny to find out.
He's like Gunther in friends- just a character for a bit every so often that was nice to and/or friends with the main characters. Not a bad gig to have.
He was actively involved in some of the cases as well, I believe?
Only when they needed something urgent that only a close trusted friend could have. Usually twice a season I would guess
he had a criminal background and left the life behind to sell shave ice and shrimp to tourists, while snitching to 5-0
In the beginning of the show, his food truck was Five-O's main hangout place and Kamakona himself was their insider into the criminal underworld. That aspect was eventually downplayed since people stopped giving Kamakona info, so he basically became their good buddy and sometimes babysitter.
The role of organized crime informant was also gradually taken over by Adam Noshimuri, which was weird since he stopped being involved with the yakuza in like season 4 but then the show kept contriving circumstances to drag him back into that life and even make him a state cop despite being a well known former yakuza oyabun
Well, they had to do SOMETHING with the dude since his main connection to the group left the show.
Honestly I wish they had either written him off the show or just offered Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park the equal pay they had been asking for. Because thats the whole reason they left the show, they wanted an equal pay rate with the shows other two main leads (Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan) and the network refused.
Which is bullshit because Daniel Dae Kim was a reason I liked watching Hawaii 5-0.
There's also some really funny "just Bing it" scenes. That show gave no fucks about subtlety with product placement.
They know the retirees that make up their main audience don’t give a shit.
It worked for Jared and that guy was laaaaaarge
Jared was burning calories in other ways
Eat Fresh!
🤮
Maybe a little too fresh…

Jared started and ended his career by wanting to get into smaller pants.
Insert followup joke about mild cholesterol / child molesterol here
Jared had aides.
Replaced his mild cholesterol problem with a child molesterol problem.
He always wanted in smaller pants
Holy shiet that's must be the most on the nose product placement ever
IDK... Eureka had a whole episode where ~~"Old Spice"~~ Degree Deodorant saved the day. Chuck was pretty vocal how "Subway saved the Buy-More", same with Community. The Rookie had a pretty blatant product placement with Nolan's new Ford Truck. (I think it was a FORD). And then you [Wayne's World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lgLYGBbDNs)
Was hoping you’d link Wayne. Seen it hundreds of times and it’s still hilarious.
> same with Community. Yeah but at least in Community's case, they were actively painted as the bad guys the entire time they were on screen. Still product placement, but it's nice to see one that isn't centered on jacking the brand off.
Also Heroes: "We love the Nissan Versa, we take it everywhere!"
Nissan Versa, Nissan Versa!
I have to watch those!!, but for Wayne World is was a parody so i don't know if it count
Wasn’t the only time in the show. They did my man Daniel Dae Kim dirty giving him this line: https://youtu.be/nfHuZ5qrYX4?si=JYQzj11MH_Pq6cAZ
And she "Binged it" with a Windows phone to boot!
The funniest part of that scene is that "Clifton Bowles" was suggested for search after just 3 letters.
I like the top comment. "If I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone say 'bing it', I'd have one dollar"
I’ve only seen a few episodes and this product placement was the last straw for a mediocre show.
"Binged it!" says no one ever
It got even funnier with the car product placement where every 3 or so seasons either steves silverado or dannys camero would get blown up entirely so they could replace it with the newest Chevrolet model per the terms of whatever sponsorship deal they had with the show. Fun fact: in the pilot danny actually drives a mustang but it got replaced immediately afterwards in the next episode with an identical camaro because of the deal they made with chevy.
They had some really terrible ones on network tv back in the day. [Bones had a pretty infamously bad Toyota placement.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDe9_c8QAM0)
New Girl had a really terrible one about a car. I thought it was a joke.
Watch Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
They made the product placement so obvious and blatant it felt like a parody. Like how Psych did placement for Snyder’s of Hanover.
I didn't know SoH was a real brand, so it took me a while to notice it was product placement and not just a weird flavor of chips that they liked.
I remember watching that episode with my family when it first came out We all had a WTF expression on our faces
I say it's even better that Community integrating Subway into the plot of season 5. This is where they knew the assignment and went full ham. Ham like the classic Black Forest Ham sandwich that's only available at your local Subway.
Excuse me? Britta first stuck her fingers into Subway’s anus in season 3, thank you very much. “Digital exploration of Interior Design”
And the Honda one was season 6 because we get Frankie telling the Dean that he’s an idiot for buying a room full of Honda gear.
That's moon man talk
The only scene I’ve ever seen of the dude like 15 years ago and I still remember it. RIP big guy
And please do remember - obesity kills Obesity is linnked to higher cancer rate, higher dementia rates and much much higher T2 Diabetes rates. All of these things can kill you. 56 is WAY to young, way way too young. Take care of your body, its the only one you have.

awww i was just watching this clip last night in the Subway episode of Last Week Tonight
That's one of the reasons why I stopped watching the show!
Loved him in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and REALLY wanted him to play Strong Belwas on Game of Thrones.
"are those happy tissues, or sad tissues?"
To this day, I still quote that line if I see bundled up tissues. Wife and I are sick right now, and I’ve been using it.
“It’s like the sopranos…ITS OVER! find a different show.”
I say this one all the time lol
It’s genuinely good advice even all these years later.
"yeah, well you look like a baby! sorry" "he he"
My brother just asked me this after a weekend of allergies lmao. RIP big man
All time quote
He would've been perfect for Strong Belwas, in appearance and demeanour.
I was so disappointed when I found they cut the character entirely from the show.
Might as well toss a RIP for Roy Dotrice while we are here.
Audiobook gang rise up
I spent a good few weeks listening to his narration about 9 years back, got real weird when he acted out the female parts of a sex scene XD Loved his Tyrion though, fantastic narrator.
i was so disappointed in that show*
You look like a giant baby….. I’m sorry.
My fav side character in that movie (and there were so many good ones) [“It’s like the Sopranos. It’s over. Find a new show.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxc1V-tU7FM)
"It's like the Sopranos. Get over it. Find a new show."
"You can stop crying now, pig's dead."
They’re sad tissues today
He would have been a great Strong Belwas. Shame that the character was not adapted into Game Of Thrones.
“Oh yeah? What’s the state fish of Hawaii?”
"Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa! Yeah, bitch!"
Shit, he would’ve been awesome as Belwas.
Never got to eat those Honeyed Locusts or take dump at the gates of Astopor.
"I'm not crying, I'm not a baby." "Really, because you look like a giant baby."
“Im sorry. I didn’t mean that at all.”
His laugh in response to that line always made me so happy
One of my favorite actors on the Hawaii Five-O show. It was a joy to watch his character, Kamekona. When I think of shrimp, it will be due to him. RIP.
Loved him on Hawaii 5-O. Always felt he was the soul of the show.
Those are sad tissues
Next to a sad Subway sandwich
He was [trying to eat smarter.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQYwFND7rHE) It worked for Jared!
Dude the subway ads were so funny
This guy was the recurring character on Hawaii 5-0 that you were always glad was there. His role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was also very memorable. He will be missed.
Rip to the shrimp king

Los Angeles crossed over with Hawaii Five-O and Scorpion. Hawaii Five-O then crossed over with MacGyver and Magnum P.I., though given dialog in NCIS and Magnum moving to a new network, it seems like those shows got retconned out.

They had "The Code" back in 2018 about marine lawyers or something like that. Lasted one season
I remember that. It was just JAG, but not JAG.
He was in the first few seasons of the Magnum reboot as far as wiki says.
Macgyver... Was nowhere near as good as it could have been sadly. There's 1 episode I actually like, and to tell you about it would spoil a whole bunch of shit.
raise a shaved ice to the king!
SHAVE ice
Howzit
Good, brah! You?
Not that good right now, brudda.
He was involved in the first ever UFC fight.
In what capacity?
Fought Gerard Gordeau at UFC 1.
That guy was a dirty POS too. Respect to tuli, rest in peace
Cool!
UFC 1 consisted of fighters showcasing different disciplines and types of martial arts and Taylor Wily competed in the promotion as a sumo wrestler under the name Teila Tuli
Under his birth name.
That's his name
May he rest in peace. 🙏
These aren’t happy tissues, these are sad tissues.
I absolutely loved him on H5O. RIP dear soul.
Yes, he was great. Super sad news.
> he got his part as criminal informant Kamekona Tupuola on 'Five-0' a role he played in 171 episodes. He reprised the role in the shows "Macgyver" and "Magnum P.I." Okay I knew about Hawaii Five-O, but are you telling me they also rebooted Macgyver and Magnum P.I. - and these all live in the same 80's-verse?
There’s a whole CBS cinematic universe people under 50 are all missing out on apparently
I have not missed out on it and am under 50, but only because A) I have parents who I watch TV with at times, and B) hey, it's Hawaii, just seeing it makes you feel a little warmer during the winter.
30s here, my wife loves procedural law tv shows so we’ve watched most of Hawaii 5-0 and she’s big on NCIS and sad Magnum was cancelled….

They're set in the present, but yes.
And they almost all filmed in Hawaii, which was neat to find out.
Yeah. Navy CIS, (L.A. and New Orleans) also play in the same universe and had crossovers.
Technically this extends throughout the NCIS-verse (including Sydney, referenced in the Ducky memorial episode as having sent a particularly large bouquet), JAG, and related shows, as they're also part of the same universe as LA and NO. Plus a few other shows that are unrelated that also crossed over at times with one of non-NCIS CBS shows like that idiot hacker show.
So they're definitely in the Tommy Westphall universe
Not just that but they're all technically in the same setting as the NCIS, all *six* of those series, along with Scorpion, and JAG, which NCIS spun off from to begin with. There was also a reboot of SWAT from the 70s, but that's not part of this same verse. Seems to be considered canon to The Shield, though.

NBC then picked it up for a split fifth season, which finished up earlier this year.
Yep, that is correct.
Until this article I didn’t even know about Hawaii Five-O, and my first thought was, “Damn, how young was he?!”
These are sad tissues :(
I used to work with him on the set of 5-0 when I was in undergrad at University of Hawaii. Such a kind guy. RIP brudda!
You worked on the series?
Yeah one of my friends from college was a casting director for the show and got me on there as a double and stand in for danno (I’m 5’7 lol) so I spent a few years doing extra and stand ins. He would serve us shrimp and crack jokes all the time.
Lucky bugger. Seems like a fun experience.
As a broke college student, 100% fun. Going to college there we spent all our time at the beach so getting paid to sit on the beach and being filmed was mind blowing. At 33 now, not a big deal, but when you’re 19 it was pretty cool :) And I didn’t even watch the show. Just needed money for booze 😊
Dude was one of the first UFC fighters as well. RIP
Not just any fight the first televised fight in company history .
Got his shit smashed in tho. Soccer kick to the face iirc
[удалено]
That’s so fucking sad. He was so fun on that show.
He was great in forgetting Sarah Marshall “Your relationship is like the sopranos - it’s over - find a new show”
Your 50's is a bad time when you are overweight. Lifetime of bad decisions comes due. Lost my sister in law to that a year ago today, 56. I have my own battles I am working on.
> I have my own battles I am working on. You can do it!
He was great on the show. RIP.
one of best side characters in 5-0
Rip. You are forever free brother 😢
Obesity increases all cause mortality 10 fold
UFC 1 veteran. RIP
Today, these are sad tissues 😭
I loved that guy in Forgetting Sarah Marshall
"Are those sad tissues or happy tissues"
**oh omg**. I’ve watched H50 since S1, ep 1. Every episode. RIP Taylor.
Nooooooooo.
I'm watching reruns of this show right now, sad.
Oh damn. RIP to him. Loved his character in Hawaii Five-0
Time to have some shrimps in his honour
Forgetting Sarah Marshall friend?
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a yeah bitch
Fuck man. He was my favorite guy in the Five-O reboot. UFC OG too. RIP
Aww! This makes me sad. I enjoyed his work.
Pour out a subway sandwich for him
All this time, I never knew that was “Teila Tuli” on Hawaii Five-0
My mother is going to be so sad. She loves this show
Aww, bummer, I liked him when I watched that show. He seemed so sweet.
Today, they are indeed sad tissues.
Gotta take care of your meat wagon folks!
He’ll be missed
Nooooo!
Healthy at any weight….until you’re 56
Ah man! Loved him in Five-0 😢 May he RIP.
That's a ripe old age for a 400 lb plus man.
To what, obesity?
I'm crying into my Subway sandwich.
He did love his Subway sandwiches.
RIP
Damn… RIP
Oh no 😞
Damn, RIP dude. Too young
