Richard Pryor really hit it big with his shortlived NBC tv series-I wish they had did more epsiodes because seeing this as an 8 year old kid, I just remebering lol at the IDI AMIN,THE PIPS SKIT,THE BAR SKIT, and THE BLACK REVOLUTIONARES.He is sorely missed.
Best comedian ever. My personal favorite w Rodney Dangerfield and Joan Rivers coming close seconds. He broke through so many barriers and he gave kudos to Dick Gregory for breaking through and it allowed Pryor to get his due
Lmao thsy back to Africa movement line made such a statement that i laughed and cried at the same time....smh this guy was ahead of his time. and God knew that..that's why HE called Rich before his time.
This special and the first episode of the “Richard Pryor show”, were some of the most funniest classic and innovative television ever done. It got weird later on with the Santa skit that was bleeped for most of the skit, a woman discussing a lesbian experience, etc. the “Richard Pryor Special?” Was the best thing he’s ever done on TV. It’s too bad he didn’t repeat any of the characters again (wino, reverend White, Idi Amin, shoeshine man) when he did his short-lived weekly show.
THANK YOU,. THAT WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO 📸📸📸. YOU SHOWED THE WORLD 🌍🌍🌍 WHO AND WHAT??? RICHARD PRYOR,. REALLY WAS IN ALL OF HIS DIFFERENT VIDEO'S,. TOO HIS CREDIT,. I'M SURE HE'S PROUD, OF YOUR WORK!!! KEEP GOING FORWARD ⏩⏩⏩ AND GOD BLESS.
This was too black for tv back then maybe even now!!! This was great and ahead of it’s time!!! That Black Man skit was great (Stevie Wonder song) no wonder why Richard left, the network probably said no more pro black skits!!
The very best line,what time the bank open 9:00 you will be heeled at 9:01 who write this shit for tv,those who didn’t attempt he did have balls and it’s was beautiful,couldn’t wait for his show to come on,only a few but that was enough cause mojo handlelet

Stevie Wonder’s Black Man! 🔥🔥🔥
NBC really didn’t know what they had.
If it weren’t for The Richard Pryor Show, there wouldn’t be Chappelle’s Show!
True dat!
There wouldn't be a Saturday Night Live either. NBC canceled his show and replaced it with SNL.
@@nuwberian732wasn’t snl already on air ?
@@toureharris3489 no, The Richard Pryor Show aired in 1973. And SNL aired later in 1975..
@@nuwberian732That's not true. The Richard Pryor Show aired in 1977.
THE BTAM " THE BACK TO AFRICA MOVEMENT!!!😂

My time is up? No siree Bob. Your time is up. 😂😂😂
Great Komiker all time 😂
Before our time!
Saturday night live kind of resembles Richard Pryor s show
The skit with Maya Angelou was very poignant.
Funny stuff

What's he say, to the phone?? At 7:12.
Pimlico something. It's a race track, he's placing bets, hence "I'm making a few donations myself"
Was that the actor who plays Divine?

So sad. Most of these were terrible. Maybe the first black president sketch was good, but wow..
the character "Willie" is easy to see why he's an alcoholic. look at his wife 35:00
@NBC you should air this, since your writers are on strike. We all need to be reminded of what quality is.🦚
They need to write a variety show like this
