Richard will always be the king but I think Eddie is a pretty funny guy. He performed in Vinton, LA tonight and donated the proceeds from the show to the hurricane relief fund. When he got to the part of his routine where he does immatations of famous people if they would have picked other careers Richards name was mentioned. Eddie said a name and then asked the audience to yell out what other job they would like to see them perform. Sammy Davis was an ice cream man, James Brown was a speach therapist, Michael Jackson a preacher, Mike Tyson as a teacher, Prince a cop, Martin Luther King a pimp(that's just wrong 
) When Eddie said Richard Pryor and asked what we would like to see Richard do, this women in the audience yelled "Be a crack head." Eddie said "Oh no, I can't do that to Richard...(shaking his head) that one is a little too close to the truth." He did Richard as a doctor instead. He does a pretty good impression of Richard. Someone yelled out "Do Eddie Murphy." He bent over and started calling out Johnny Gill's name!
