Richard Pryor is dead.
« on: December 11, 2005, 10:49:39 am »
This is truly a sad day for any fan of comedy, no matter where your comedic tastes lie. Richard Pryor, arguably the greatest stand-up comedian of all time, died this morning at a hospital near Los Angeles. The reported cause of death was a heart attack--isn't it always?--but Pryor had already been battling multiple sclerosis for many years. Anyway, here's the CNN link if you want to read more about it:

CJMErl: Sadness.  I'm not sure who he is (don't have cable), but the name *does* sound familiar...

Ah, tis sad indeed.  I saw one of his shows on Comedy Central last year.  One of the funniest things I've seen in years.  And to think, he's from Illinois.
Chainsaw hands and text based sigs for great justice.

I never knew his name, but man, he was a great guy. I'm glad I've gotten to see some of his sets.
Soon to be a major motion picture!

I'll admit I didn't know of him until last night.  Must have been one damn good comic.

Apparently he lit himself on fire whilst doing coke-related activites.  That's gotta be interesting.
