Every laugh I have with my friends I owe to you Richard, before you there was nothing to really laugh about. RIP my friend. Mr. X

WHEW. I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath for ten minutes until the title card and "NOW AVAILABLE" came up at the end. Just spellbinding.
I"m afraid to watch the whole thing now! lol

We could use him now. He was a powerful voice during a screwed up time in America. Hilarious and REAL, even though some of his history wasn't known at the time. He was brilliant. RIP.

I sure Richard had good times. This doc clip is sad. They are tearing down his legacy. It’s important to know who he was but what about his performance and how the people loved him. You don’t hear that ... all I see is a man who did great things and people tearing him down for it. Where are their movies and talent ?

Richard Pryor is the Bridge of what comedy was vs what it is now. Without Richard Pryor....there would be no Eddie Murphy, Robin Harris, Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, Eddie Griffin, I could go on and on.

Howie Mandell is in this, where's Paul Mooney?

[spacecadet]

IMO Richard Pryor is the seventh season of Entourage when he’s gone on the drug there is a scene where he says the movie sucks in Entourage that Richard Pryor has done as well as the kind of behavior he has in the overall season

Praise lord jesus christ. Yall know what, he wasn‘t just a laugh but a very good soul who caught up in devils world. But became a chance to become better and he did.

Mike Epps playing the race card.

Imagine that!

[beckykurdziel]

Ummm...ABC just totally ripped this off for the 20/20 series they just aired....lol!

Richard not saying the N word is like Muhammad Ali without his boxing gloves??
What an ignorant statement. Richard had a gift and he wanted to be compassionate.
Funniest comedian ever.

He sure did stretch the truth. His father and mother are both black.

[cdeethaone]

Too bad these comics nowadays are watered down and scared.

[NuanceOverDogma]

These people are the biggest hypocrites

He was crazy marring this white women...
