God I love these interviews. They’re honest, raw, uncomfortable but progressive in a sense of really listening and trying to understand or at the least receive the other person. Nowadays everything has an agenda and everyone’s talking to respond but never to listen

24 year old here. I know very little about Mr. Pryor, but everything I’ve seen of him I just pure class and charisma. Shame he was taken too young

Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor Sr. (Peoria,  Illinois, 1 de diciembre de 1940-Encino,  California, 10 de diciembre de 2005) fue un comediante, actor y crítico social estadounidense. Pryor era conocido por los exámenes intransigentes del racismo y los temas contemporáneos de actualidad, que empleaban vulgaridades y blasfemias, así como también epítetos raciales. Alcanzó amplia audiencia con sus observaciones mordaces y su estilo narrativo, y es considerado como uno de los comediantes más grandes e influyentes de todos los tiempos.

So cringe I felt bad hitting like....but did so because this is an amazing piece of talk show history. Also Richard Pryor is a legend. I'm a fan (typically) of Dick Cavett's interviewing style. But he really messed up here.

Jeezus, Dick…that was extremely ill-advised, even in 1985.

No question Pryor could do serious acting in addition to comedy. Check out his work in films like 'Blue Collar' and 'Greased Lightning.'

I'm surprised Cavett didn't drop the n-word like he did with Eddie Murphy. He rarely asks good questions, he's awkward (not in a good way), he can't take hints, he can't pick up the conversation, he drops the ball all the time. His interviews were good because his guests were good.

I'm sure Cavett meant well, but this just looks so racist.

We white people/writers and our vernacular! We should never write for brilliant actors such as the late-great Richard Pryor!

Pryor feigning not to know that black people have their own way of talking amongst themselves is so disingenuous.
