Richard Pryor

[D-Vader]

died after a heart attack on Saturday. He was 65.

Story

Richard Pryor wasn't a comedian I was allowed to watch much of, but from what I've seen of him (excluding some of his movies) he was a real pioneer in race relations, paving the way for many comedians after him. I think the funniest thing I ever saw was when he and Chevy Chase did their janitor bit on SNL. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

Thanks for your contributions, Mr. Pryor... comedy wouldn't be the same without you.

He was funny as hell. Unfortunately I've only seen that sketch w/Chevy Chase and his special after he lit himself on fire. Do they have any best of dvds of him?

[ObiWanFTW]

im sure they do somewhere.
