      Same here! I was also AT the Vegas show! Priceless! I was one of the 'whities' in the audience that he picked on because I was there with a 'sistah'! He said "Sistah, you here with whitey tonight? What, you get tired of taking a REAL dick or was you lookin' for a relationship with insurance?" I've never been happier to be picked on in my entire life! Sadly, this was edited out of the show .

He offered to pay my Grandfather (16 at the time) $10 to drive the car across town and park in a certain spot. My trepidatious grandfather inspected the car and then, to Guido's objection, opened the trunk. There was a body wrapped in a carpet. My Grand father refused the offer. It's what kept him out of the mob. My Great Uncle Guido went on to control all the farm labor unions in Central California. True story.

      And just to think when Richard first hit the scene many critics were comparing him to Bill Cosby in which he said himself he was inspired by him. Once Richard started being himself and cussing in his standups, that's when he took off and never went back.
