Had to wiki him but I knew who he was once I realised what he'd been in and stuff

And how come Linda has left this time?

He's an absolute legend. His autobiography is worth reading. Very interesting life.

Pryor was crazy hilarious. I would think most people have seen Brewsters millions. Ive mainly watched his stand up routines. Most of the black stand up these days are inspired by him, especially Bernie Mac (RIP), or Steve Harvey.

Probably my favourite sketch of his and the mad thing is that it's all true, albeit slighty exaggerated.

I dont think his movies sucked so much, but i never thought Richard Pryor was a very good movie actor. I liked some of his movies, but in general, I thought he wasnt great in movies. HE seemed a bit too uncomfortable. But when it came to stand up, he was the best. I think he should've done some sitcoms. HE wouldve been great in those settings imo. But he never really did any.

Ok! I can see that. Maybe that was it then. I just can imagine him doing roles like Eddie Murphy did after his stand up days. Eddie always seemed so confident, and over the top! And that worked. i think RP, probably shouldve done similar roles.

Rubbish. He was involved in writing the script and was supposed to play the part but the producers wanted a less infamous or provocative person in the role.

Most people like him but I find him just obnoxious! I dont know why, I usually like most stand ups, but Chris Rock, No comment. DOnt like him at all. cant explain why, because there are people with the same style, that I like. Its probably just his face!

I like Chris Rock. He's very similar to Eddie Murphy though, and you can't really compete with him.

And neither of them can hold a candle to the late, great Richard Pryor.
