Richard Pryor

[venusdiva429]

This man had more talent in his little finger than most of these newfangled comedians that are out there today.

Blessed be, Richard.

F*ck f*ck f*ckity f*ck! Richard Pryor was in a class by himself...well, maybe with Lenny Bruce...as far as pioneering work that goes waybeyond comedy. I bet he's cracking God's sh*t up right now! RIP.

I remember watching Live on the Sunset Strip when I was a little 'stranger. Most of the subject matter went clear over my head, but I still recall laughing hysterically, just because Richard's delivery and facial expressions were so brilliant. As an adult, I've come to appreciate his brilliance even more. He faced his personal demons through comedy and was f*cking hilarious.

Rest in Peace, Richard.

Duke - he is cracking God's sh*t up right now. God Bless you, Richard.

(Saturday Night Live word association/name calling bit with Chevy Chase - one of my all-time favorites!)

I loved the films he made with Gene Wilder. Yep, even Hear No Evil, See No Evil.

Thanks for the laughs, Richard. RIP.
