His father was a real bad ass and all that is real . Richard overcame a lot to be a comedy legend ! Great talent .

Richard Pryor was. BRILLIANT. Funny as heck and didn’t have to rely on crassness and four-letter words throughout his jokes! Today’s comedians could learn a lot from him!!

He definitely has range. A lot of his material was considered very edgy at the time but the guy also was on Sesame Street! G.O.A.T.

The way he's telling the story is just perfect.. “Wait a minute, Rich do the gun again.” .
