This man’s stand up and interviews helped me through my depression. Rip Paul.
Totally 💯
So true
Absolutely.
He dominated the interview as if he were the host. That's what legends do I guess, he was definitely a legend
"I'm not through with Bush."
He did. And, the beauty of Dave is he was gracious enough to give him a wide berth. That’s why Dave is also a legend. He doesn’t mind allowing his guests to shine.
It's 2024- the first I've heard of him! Interesting man and good comedian.😂😂😂
This is also a form of interview where most of the time the comedian/legend doesn't have anything to sell, like a show or movie. The host says come on the show and you can do a stand-up but sitting down. Look at some old Johnny Carson. He did this with Don Rickles and others I can't remember right now. Taking over the show while on the couch riffing and joking
I believe Paul Mooney's post transitioned legacy will be even bigger than his time here on Earth.
This man ran with every big star you can imagine . He had an amazing life, yet he was overlooked as a comic. He did things his way for sure
There will never be another Paul Mooney. Ever.
David Letterman thought he was slick in saying "Negrodumus" 😂😂😂
Love his delivery when he says “It’s simply not for you.” Lol
Paul Mooney was a great. There’ll never be another Paul Mooney.
its all about drive my bro
That airport bit was part of his act. very funny
That bush rice bit may be the best cooperation between guest and Co host, amazing.
Rip Paul Mooney
This guy was Sharp like a knife! Fn funny!! Legend!
His IQ was stupid high lol he responded to all the questions without dave asking. He was an important part of black history.
@@FATMAN162x He had a high IQ??? He got the Presidential prediction wrong
@@nymike06 Not to mention that the title of his book has at least one easily proven factual error. The one concerning Cleopatra, which is laughably ignorant.
NO reputable historian would agree with that. She wasn't even ethnically Egyptian, but of Greek Macedonian descent from the line of Ptolemy.
He was one of Alexander the Great's generals who took over the Egyptian portion of Alexander's empire which was split into thirds after his death.
"La Boomba, La Bumba, Kunta Kinte" lmaooooo
They cut out the musical intro, but Paul had the band play Sam Cooke's "What a Wonderful World"
"Don't know much about history...." Which is why he starts with "Was that music for me? That's insane"
Why was it insane? Was it a favourite song of his or something?
@@electricmaster23 The joke could be that Paul’s DVD was named “Know Your History.”
Anyone who doesn't know that Cleopatra wasn't ethnically Egyptian but was of Macedonian Greek descent DOESN'T know much about history...
@@gregking2571 dude, you must be lost…
@@FizzgigMcarthur How so? Paul Mooney claimed that Cleopatra was black in the title of his 2007 "Know Your History" stand up comedy show. This is laughably ignorant.
Egypt had been part of Alexander the Great's empire. When he died his empire was split into thirds, leaving his three most loyal generals in control of each portion.
Control of Egypt was given to a general named Ptolemy who's dynasty ruled there for the next three centuries until it was annexed into the Roman empire. Cleopatra was the last of Ptolemy's line in power, she had no 'native' Egyptian or Sub-Saharan African ancestry whatsoever.
The Ptolemaic Kingdom was an ancient Greek state based in Egypt during the Hellenistic Period.
You or anyone else can very easily do a web search and read the historical facts about Cleopatra and Ptolemaic Egypt for yourself, Mr. Weinberg...
Lil' Kim Lee...LOL
R.I.P. To This LEGEND!
Before we mourn him too greatly look into the accusations about from Richard Pryor Jr.
@@BoogieKnight815 No one cares. Shut up.
I love him🙏🫡 respect
@@BoogieKnight815 That will stop mourning????
Wow, that joke at the end got me good!
He doesn’t age ..love him
Now this guy is funny! RIP Mr Mooney
Paul Mooney + Dave Chappelle = BLACK COMEDY GOLD !
Definitely true
That aged, aged. (Literally on so many levels)
Paul caught Dave being PC, and had a laugh.
I'm just really discovering this guy, and I regret not finding him sooner. This guy is hilarious. RIP Mr Mooney
Yes so true may his soul rest in Heaven
He wrote a lot of Richard Pryor's material 😊
Mr. Mooney was going to take advantage of every second he had on the air with Dave and he did.
What he said about Barack Obama being vice president so the president wont get killed had me crack up
Just the best
Paul Mooney was funny. Rest in peace.😂🤣
Does BUSH Eat RICE?......Classic Paul Mooney!! RIP
Truth and honestly is a lost art..
Mr. Paul Mooney!!
Mooney was wrong about Hillary & Barack. But, he was spot on about Michael Richards. And, he was right about the “n” word. Brilliant man. R.I.P.
Dave wasn't ready. 🤣
No one ever was.
One of the best all time!!
Aww man this was such an easy podcast for sure. It was sold. Love Love Love you Paul M.😘💕
Thanks for the upload
Paul Mooney was sheer hilarious so effortless
Why have I never heard of this guy? He is hilarious.
He flew under radar his whole career. He was a writer for Richard Pryor in the 70's, in the 90's he invented a character for that show "In Living Color" (a show you should watch which launched Jim Carrey to fame) and then he was on Chappelle's Show. Other than an appearance in a Spike Lee movie, he was underground all the time. That's why he made an album called "Too Black For Hollywood"
Also a key,writer in Blazing Saddles and Playboy after dark...
Do some Homework he is a legend
That’s a good question.
Of course you never heard of him because he speaks truth. Look up James Baldwin too, he was active during MLK & Malcom X. Yet not many know who he is because he speaks truth. People like that can spot machinations a mile away.
This aired on my 18th birthday. Good memories. I still have that DVD!
Negrodamus was rarely so wrong.
"rarely"
True. But I give him credit: Wayne Brady still makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.
@@DanStrayerso true lol
"Does Rice eat Bush?" by Paul was very funny. I wonder if it was prepared ahead of time, or spontaneous?
He noted that it was Felicia's quip, he just repeated it for the mic
@@TheGreatAtario Maybe she did, but Mooney wasn't buying that.
@@TheGreatAtario who's Felicia?
@@CeaSeMusic1 Guitarist
Paul was 66 years old here....talk about genes...
Black don't Crack!!
@@terryhill4732 Unless you on crack! lol
He looks like he’s in his late 40s
"Does Rice eat Bush?!" Paul Shaffer
Love you Paul Mooney RIP 💕🌹🌺💐🧸💖😇
Legend!
gone too soon..we miss you
The truth will set you free😭😭💯✊🏽❤️🌹🕊️
First ive heard of him and i had all of Pryors albums. Interesting and funny man.😂😂😂
Boy was he wrong twice over….
Proud American, proud Black man who took your hand to show you the beautiful truth in his vision of a more perfect union.
I think Paul also invented the word ingocnegro?
She did win the popular vote. Paul Mooney has a very real take on things even if he was only half right on the prediction.
Yep true
Does Bush eat Rice, Legend!
That ish was hilarious😂😂😂😂
Dave is the greatest straight man in history.
Dave letterman was very bold and confident also wasn’t a racial bone in his body to have Mooney on !! Rip !
Ooo pls
Paul is hillarious
Happier times.
Comedy genius. R.I.P.
Miss u mooney
He was wrong about this but still hilarious!
R.I.P. Mr. Mooney.
We'll be right back with Macy Gray.
Oh man... I always liked Paul Mooney.
He was wrong about Obama 😂😂😂😂😂
The king!
The 🐐🐐
Very funny … lol. Goat of comedy host downplaying
Classic
Lil' kim lee LMAO!
He was forecasting the rise of the Karen’s
Facts
How?
I heard nothing resembling that here
Paul mooney is a in your face. ... RIP paul wherever you are i know you giving them hell
Rip i love paul mooney 😂😂😂
so funny
Fun man left to soon
Hillary didn't; Obama did. "Yes, we can!"
@R A R Sorry pal, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. 🤷
God he was funny 👍👍🌟 🌟🌟
Whoopi got a dispensation. Lol
Yeah they blackballed Whoopi for her going at bush
😭😭😭😭😭
Oops
If she runs a third time and wins, does the prediction check out?
Funniest mfr on earth..raw as hell
Wow, he was so so so so incredibly wrong about Obama not once, but twice and wrong about Hillary twice! Ironic also, how Hillary and it off through the grace of Obama working in his cabinet
True, but to be fair, no one could’ve seen it coming. No one.
@@1Deep43VA debatable
@@misterbobby8913 who predicted it?
@@1Deep43VA I mean what's the specific question, like in what year to make a prediction?
@@misterbobby8913 It’s rhetorical. No one could’ve. I’m sure there were people who thought Obama wouldn’t make a good President or that they didn’t like him or his politics. But no one could’ve imagined (And I’m speaking solely about the people that believed in him) that Obama, a man who campaigned on Hope would’ve turned his back on it the moment he came into office. Not once but twice. That’s really what my comment was about. And I guess you could say someone somewhere saw it coming, but I find it hard to believe.
R.I.P...THE GOAT...❤❤❤❤
Somehow I'd never heard of Paul Mooney. He wasn't too accurate with his presidential predictions.
He was Richard Pryor’s best friend and occasional co-writer, a legend of stand up.
He also portrayed "Negrodamaus" on the hit TV program "Chappelle's Show" which feature well known comedian David Chappelle and aired on comedy central in 2003.
@@BAGAKOOS also co writer for
Sanford and son
In living Color
The Richard Pryor show
Good times
Etc…
He was right about white people pointing out every little last thing that black people get wrong though. Watch his shows and you'll see he was right about that!!!
@@Wh4L205 Blazing saddles, Playboy after dark...
New twist on and old Godfrey Cambridge joke.The Great Godfrey Cambridge used flour on Black kid face and the black family reaction.Two of our Giants of comedy.May the Creator have mercy on their souls.
it is the first time i hear about and see this guy, but he was smart. those changing lanes inside that free speech, those are not... common to slow thinking...
This legend is underrated
Its still shocking
But Obama prediction wrong Mr Mahoney
I miss you
Its spelled "Mahooney"
BECAUSE..... I'M PRESIDENT BY KOLOVANI
He was wrong about Obama
It seemed impossible at the time . He got everything else right with his commentary 😂
Never knew about the character Negrodamus...that needs to be reprised by somebody.
Negrodamus would have loved it
I wish Paul Mooney could live to see the gas prices we have now.
Exactly!
Negrodamas was wrong in 2008 and 2016
La BOOMBA La Bamba Kunta Kinte
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny but didnt age well but still the goat
LOL...AS WRONG AS HIS JOKES...
Miss Thing.
This didn’t age well.
I love Hillary! ❤
The first of cancel culture.
Great comedian, terrible prognosticator.
I guess this is why I never listen to him.
