Richard Pryor Carson Tonight Show 1983-06-09

[@behappy4688]

The original King of comedy in this century.

[@jasonkeller4929]

Richard Pryor seems so friendly in a genuine way. I would have liked to meet that guy.

[@terrenceolivido741]

not when he was on drugs !

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Mel Brooks also said that Richard Pryor was the best standup comic ever. Just today on Fresh Air...How can you argue with the best? RIP guys.

[@rickyal9810]

He was Mel's first pick for Blazing Saddles but, as the story goes, he went into rehab right before they were to start filming so they went with Cleavon Little. I bet Richard Pryor would have been great but I can't imagine the movie without Cleavon Little as the Sheriff.

[@jeffdawson2786]

Richard Pryor’s greatest contribution to the history of comedy is his honesty. He put everything on the line.

[@michelecarter3403]

Absolutely!

[@simonjack9699]

Yeah and most importantly if you watched his TV show The Richard Pryor Show he constantly mentioned how it's wrong for people to use it as comedy to use the n-word that people needs to understand the importance and the history behind that word it's a word of hate not a word of Comedy

[@simonjack9699]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqvPaHpvjc1_rsU This was the video I was talking about where Richard Pryor talks about his views on the n word. I wish more people would learn from him like I don't understand why people goes around and calls people the n-word regardless of their color..

[@simonjack9699]

yeah this video I showed you is something from his skit comedy, but I remember he did talk about it on his Richard Pryor Show because I watched a few of his episodes on KZbin a couple years ago a few of his episodes had a young Robin Williams

[@AE-bm4no]

That was Lenny Bruce's contribution tho

[@phyllislen]

Unbelievable. Johnny was always very conservative in his comedic approach. Richard was in your face. Together they brought out the best in one another. Truly comedic magic.

[@jblumemusic4455]

Agreed. Johnny Carson and Richard Pryor were masters at their craft. Johnny would "set up the pins' so Richard could "knock them down". All Johnny needed to do was to "prime Richard's motor" every so often, and Pryor would let it rip. Another interesting thing noticed over the years; If you've ever watched the multiple times Pryor was on the Carson Show, Johnny felt he needed to be Richard's "father figure" The chemistry between the two was so innocent. I think Johnny truly felt and loved Richard Pryor that way, and visa-vera. If you ever see Richard Pryor on Letterman, -Pryor looked like he didn't want to be there.
