Save for Will Rogers (more of a saterist I suppose) and perhaps Lenny Bruce, NO comedian and I do mean none... has had the far reaching affect of Richard Pryor! While Cosby and every other comic in the world made their money making everyone feel "safe" Pryor, kicked in your front door, ate your dinner, drank your booze and then slept with your mother and you thanked him for it afterwards. No... he was a force of nature... Versuvius in Kansas... we shall NEVER see his like again...
