Richard Pryor is the greatest stand-up who ever lived. He opened the biggest door and turned the light on in the room.~ Roseanne Barr

What would life be like without Richard Pryor and Mudbone? Dull, baby, very dull. There will never be another Richard Pryor. He is, and always has been, the funniest man alive. ~ Whoopi Goldberg

It sounds cliché to say that he opened the doors for all of us, but it's true... He did for comedy what politicians do for movements. He passed a law that said it was OK to tell it like it is. ~ Martin Lawrence

Richard Pryor is the King. He always will be. ~ Bernie Mac

Richard Pryor is truly one of the great artists of our time. His comic genius and influence remain unparalleled. ~ Eddie Murphy

Richard Pryor is the greatest comedian of all time. ~ Chris Rock

His career in comedy started with a truce with a high school teacher: Pryor agreed to stop cracking jokes in class, and the teacher agreed to let Pryor perform comedy for the class once a week. He also performed at the local rec center. His first professional gigs were clean and polite, earning critical comparisons to Bill Cosby. Pryor was successful but found it frustrating, and quit comedy for two years. When he came back, profane and political, he was no longer compared to Cosby.
