+1000 there, Brother. My most favorite comedian of all time...
Love the line... "The National Football Honky League". And it was very funny at the end watching Richard getting picked up like a rag doll and walked thru the crowd by that big white dude.
Never be another one like him. sure wish he was still here. )=(

The funniest part of that skit is watching Richard Pryor try to keep himself from cracking up. I remember as a kid I used to listen to 'Live On Sunset Strip' over and over again when my parents weren't around. I used to be able recite parts word for word. I was sad to see him go.

I was living in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1977 and the band I was playing in and all of our circle worshipped Richard Pryor and we all had memorized "Bicentennial ******" and we all knew every cut word-for-word. I never laughed so hard for so long in my life.
Still my favorite comedy album although it's very hard to find now for some reason. I don't think it was ever released on cd. )=(

Agreed, same with his live shows, sometimes you can see he has to practically bite his lip to stop himself.
