    Richard was a survivor, he plays it gracefully but that pain is wriiten on his face.
    His humor reflected that . He was so full of life. I miss that man.

      Sorry to say, but Letterman doesn't even come close to Richard Pryor. He knows it -- it's on full display here. It's obvious from the way Pryor stands up and just leaves with barely a handshake after Letterman gets his laughs about the age difference in his marriage.

    I think Richard's drug addiction kept him quite humble. You would be surprised how many movie scripts were written with him in mind and because of his reputation the part went to Eddie Murphy. When I say this I'm basing it off of all of the interviews that I'm currently binge watching. What a pleasure. Richard was amazing.

I will never forget it,,,,,real dirty 70s feel right from the start,, then BLUE COLLAR comes up written really stark and simple with the inside this factory filmed verité style ,, and your going this seems realistic , genuine,, and then you see Richard fucking Pryor acting his ass off apparently until you realise he IS acting his ass off and this is a serious movie and you know this has just got to be a secret gem , because its well done too, and you care about this character, and shit if it isn't Richard Pryor and you,are all the more blown away by the experience because it him.

      Absolutely! When he switch up his style in the late 60s, he forever changed the face of comedy in America by bringing portions of the black experience of living in America on stages throughout the country in blunt, unapologetic, funny ways & managed to also convey on the other side of that coin the heart & resilience of a people all at the same time.
      King Richard's three important influences of his game changing skills on the mic were Dick Gregory, Bill Cosby, & Redd Foxx. Rich broke another wall in that he pulled constantly from his personal life- struggles & all- onto nightly stand up audience in ways that no comedian standup or otherwise has ever done before or since. On all of his classic & award winning albums from 1971's "Craps...After Hours" to 1983's " Here & Now" is an audio tour of a genius.

    Pryor quietly had a creativity and verbal ability on par with Robin Williams but where Robin was manic Pryor, especially pre-accident Pryor, had a hard edge. Brilliant.

    I think that comment by David pissed Richard off. Cuz usually guest stay till the music take the show into commercials. But, here you can see Richard take off as soon as he was done shaking his hand.

    • @chuckfan1
      @chuckfan1 5 лет назад

      No, not really. Appears Pryor just was a little antsy, and got up and left. No ill will or anything come across. Again, these guys were friends from way back in the Comedy Store days.

      No, they were together the following year during the Comedy Store’s “15th Year Reunion.” Dave displayed a group photo of the two of them, Mitzy Shore, and Robin Williams when he eulogized Robin in 2014.
