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

      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

      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 CZcams a couple years ago a few of his episodes had a young Robin Williams

    • @jblumemusic4455
      @jblumemusic4455 Před 9 měsíci +3

      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.

His album prior to "Thriller" was "Off The Wall" and it was chart topping, plus he was famous with his brothers in the Jackson 5 since he was a little kid.
