The fact that he carried the award down to him. Respect.

[spankadelik]

Best part is he brought the award to him. Very kind of Eddie.

I didnt expect to have tears rolling down my face while watching this. Richard made me cry many times in my life but it was from uncontrollable laughter. This time it was pure sadness. Rip Richard we still love you.

[skaaya]

You can tell, the unrivalled pleasure Eddie is getting from making Pryor gasp for air, from making him laugh. Beautiful moment!😍

Only a few comedians were so far ahead of the curve that they formed their own curve, and Richard Pryor was one of them.

[waradi.alkhalijj]

Richard is an artist who will never be repeated, a beautiful comedian.

[shannonm]

They need too bring back these type of award shows for the comedians

[jonkline]

Richard Pryor represents the whole new frontier. Through him is the foundation of Comedians today.

Love seeing these 2 great comedians together! Eddie has always been like Richard pryor in so many ways, the comparison between these 2 has always been valid! The raunchy style of comedy from Richard definitely rubbed off on Eddie and made him the great comedian and actor he became! Found this clip over the recent Labor day weekend and it was a multimillion dollar find! Seeing how great they were in Harlem nights together and to see them together again or anywhere is always a treat!!

He put out an album called That Nigger’s Crazy and went on to prove it! 🤣🤣🤣

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing!

When I was 14 years old I listened the "That Niggas Crazy" album at least 12 times, to the point where I memorized every single joke, and still laughed each time I heard it as if it were the first time. My Mt. Rushmore of standup - Pryor, Murphy, Carlin and Chappelle are all revolutionaries in comedy. Rest in Glory Mr. Pryor

[eddykhatib]

Mr Richard Pryor you brought some great memories rip mr Pryor you are truly missed

[MaximumAshh]

Eddie looked scared for a min 😂😂😂 well deserved award!

[Dagnabit]

The prison scene with gene wilder was the funniest thing I've ever seen as a kid

[Nolkme]

Richard "Mudbone" Pryor is the greatest comedian of all time! 💞
R.I.P. 💞 2024 still laughing 💞😆😂🤣😃

[holygroove]

I was a teenager when I first heard Pryor, and that speaks to how powerful he was. He and Cosby were giants. The thing that puts Pryor above everyone tho was his self honesty and how he got you to laugh with him about himself - not AT him but WITH him (like Spoke Lee pointed out.

It must have been an amazing moment in Eddie's life to not only be able to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to his comedic hero, but to stand next to him and make that man genuinely laugh. What an amazing moment and accomplishment. Two of the greatest comedic minds standing together. One can only imagine what it would have been like if the two of them had been able to truly work together on a stand up project. Rest In Peace Mr Pryor. We all miss you.
