First and Foremost:
Thank you Richard for everything you have meant to comedy. I was born in 1977, so I was just a young lad back in your heyday. My father was a huge Pryor fan, but it wasn't until I purchased your complete box set of all of your concerts, ...AND IT'S DEEP TOO, that I realized how great you were. I keep one of your stand-ups in my cd player at all times. I try my best to turn alot of the younger generation, who doesn't really know of you, onto you. When I hear folks say Bernie Mac, Martin, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, even Eddie Murphy are the best. I have to bring it to their attention, that every one of those comics, and those I didn't mention, pay homage to Richard Pryor as the greatest. And that they're only doing what they're doing because of him.

Well, onto my post, I just wanted to show my respects to the man who has single-handedly shaped my comedic mind.

Does anyone know of a site where I can download a clip of Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase's racial word association skit on SNL from 1975 ? I searched the web for over an hour and couldn't find anything except for transcripts of the skit. I am dying to download the video clip. If anyone knows of a site I can get it from, please let me know.

Thanks

cbdadude,

I can't think of the guy's name who wrote the skit, but Chevy Chase took credit for it, which is bullshit. Actually, he was intimidated by Rich and asked, no begged, this guy to write a skit for him. Can anybody come up with the writer's name? I know he is a militant motherfucker, but I can't for life of me remember his name.

outrunm,

Was it Michael O'Donoghue?

That doesn't sound right... I think I would know it if I heard it.

PAUL MOONEY!! He was the guy.. Damn, I have been busting my nuts to remember that. It took a Google search to figure it out.
