    That verbal jab by Richard Pryor to Chevy was just fantastic, "I was going to ask you, why didn’t you tell Johnny you was going to take over his show?". In 1975 the New York Magazine carried an infamous article that stated “Industry sources report that network executives see in Chase ‘the first real potential successor to Johnny Carson when he gives up the Tonight Show,‘” while also noting how Saturday Night Live was bringing in 2 million more viewers than Tonight Show reruns that previously held the spot. So that quip by Richard Pryor in the moment referencing the magazine article about a year and a half after Chevy had left Saturday Night Live and was in the process of failing to live up to the hype really hit home.

      As another old white Republican male, he was one of my favorite comedians of all time. Not because of race or gender or any of the ridiculousness people seem to hold as important these days but because he was smart. He always knew what kind of comedy to do with a certain crowd, how to do it, when to do it and how far he could go with it. By far one of the best all around comedians of our time.
