Rip paul mooney.

[@hesayshesayhowboutmesay]

Did you skip Paul on purpose?

[@Fakename70]

Paul, John, Rich, and Robin all together again now.

[@pipedown1246]

Paul Mooney looked like OJ Simpson back in the day 😁

[@EpiCxM0n3Y]

I know, same here 😂

[@alecaquino4306]

I love seeing stuff like this. I wasn't born until the late 1980s so I was only introduced to most of these comedic masters when they were already a bit older. Seeing them all together like this at an earlier point in their lives and realizing that they were also just as talented at a much younger age is such a treat!

[@43captrexkramer]

Pryor, Witherspoon and Mooney, that's comedic genius right there. Everything I ever saw John Witherspoon in he was the funniest person in that movie, and Paul Mooney just killed it on Chappelle.

[@WestEndFlats]

Yo, the table was DEEP! Didn't even know these cats knew one another outside of Richard and Paul. I was blown to see Robin, John, Tim and a bunch of other stars! Why don't we do this anymore?! I know we ROAST our celebs but this was wholesome and amazing to witness. True, genuine love for your colleagues and friends.

[@MrJohnson3.14]

Ppl still do roasts....

[@WestEndFlats]

@@MrJohnson3.14 is literally the last line of my comment.....

[@youngw1ze]

The Majority of that cast was on "The Richard Pryor Show"

[@eddiew.4650]

Because everyone up there with the exception of Richard were still new or unheard of. Robin Williams wouldn't be a movie star for a few more years.

[@skeezenutz]

Rip Paul, Rich, John, and Robin. 🙏🏽

[@Buskeeeeeeee]

There’s some sad alleged beef between these two. Makes this video kinda eerie.
