Richard Pryor 0n Larry King Live (2005) 

Richard was one of the most brutally honest people to ever grace Hollywood-Miss you Kind sir

George and Richard's phone conversation literally brought me to tears.

“His gift is honesty and poetry - He can take something real and turn it into something where you can sit around and can cry a little and laugh a lot” 💞 thank you for sharing your art with us Mr. Richard Pryor

You know, I smile, every time I see this man.. I also miss him so very much. Thank you for sharing, this with us.

It's really haunting seeing those 3 legends and knowing that they are all gone at this moment in time. But their legacy lives on. Rest in peace Richard. RIP Larry and George. :)

This tears me up. What a beautiful and troubled soul he was, RIP Richard Pryor❤️

Richard Pryor is still missed even today but his movies and his comedies on stage is on DVD and in books and on CD's.

Life is such a tragedy. So many people came and left a mark and then died never returning. RIP to all three legends.

He was seems like the ultimate sweet heart. Love him .

The 👑 of comedy Richard Pryor,one of a kind, respect,rip

Could hear on his voice . Richard fading away. He really was the funniest GREATEST character of them ALL! Had HIS own style class open and honest and friendly and just lovable.. He was our no. I MAN. When we were LOVING comedy.. Just didn't like the cursing he did? We start hearing less of him. But his movies we laughed and cried for days laughing. LOVED him.

Rest in peace Richard Pryor. For better or for worse you made us all of us laugh. Thank you for sharing your gift.

The great & only prolific comedic genius, Richard Pryor!!

Like Muhammad Ali ..... Richard Pryor was the Greatest nuff said! RIP.

This is my favorite all time comic. I was a kid in the 70s sneaking n listening to my dads Richard Pryor albums. I knew his comedy style perfectly. When my parents had company over all the kids had to go in the room, but I would be called out to be the performer. I would do my Richard Pryor routines n make fun of all the adults there. Some of them swore I would be a comedienne when I grew up. I knew I was funny but not so much I wanted to be in the business. I have comics I love for different reasons. There are comics who can write/direct, are beast at stand up, the ones who are great in movies then the ones who can do it all. Richard Pryor is at the top of my comic list of comics who can do absolutely everything.. The few who are on close playing field like Bernie Mac, and Chris Tucker. You had some who followed his lead to success like Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. The ones who I'm in awe of when their on stage like , Eddie Griffin ,Robin Harris and Katt Williams. I love the conscious comics like D.L. Hughley. We need them all for different times and reasons. Without this genius there would be no Bernie or Katt thank God for that. RIP King Richard,you are terribly missed........shannon b

SO MUCH RESPECT FOR RICHARD PRYOR, ❤️ SO HONEST AND A VERY STRAIGHT UP PERSON, NOT FULL OF PRIDE, VERY DOWN TO EARTH ❤️ R I P🙏🏽 YOU ARE MISSED 😪💕

Long Live Richard Pryor and Larry King !!!! 💯💯💯💯🙌🏾

Not just The King of Comedy, but a King of LIFE! 💪

this is beautiful. richard was loved by the masses.

Thanks for posting this interview. I really miss Richard Pryor.

Such a wonderful interview. A bit of a side note: I recently re-watched Live On The Sunset Strip & JoJo Dancer and always thought he was at least 6'4" or taller and was so surprised to learn that he stood at 5'10" tall! Just a testament to his presence and larger than life character. RIP to the greatest to ever do it.

Very very tough to see one of my heroes like this...God bless his soul...

Richard said he was not a good actor but I beg to differ-watch his tremendous performance in BLUE COLLAR-it's a must watch

Richard Pryor! I loved his sense of humor. He answered all the difficult questions with humility and class!

I've had ms over 20yrs now....it's such a debilitating condition....forever in our hearts Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder such a brilliant comedic team.. God missed Richard Pryor so much He orchestrated his early departure... REST IN PEACE ANGEL✌ 🙏 💕💞♥❤💖💓💕💞♥ 💕

Still waiting on the movie about Mr. Pryor's life story (not Jojo Dancer). 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Richard Pryor is a Recovery HERO. Anytime you hear him talk about Recovery (from the 80s to his very last interview) you could tell from his verbiage that he understood recovery and really lived it, falls and all! Every time he fell he got back up and kept right on Recovering. 💪

It's tough seeing him like this...and to know he had it for that long

I have multiple sclerosis and am in constant pain. Im glad he did not have pain with his ms.

His heart came thru no matter what he did. RIP King Rich (glad yr free).

Greetings! It breaks my heart for the things that he had to do in order to Rise to the top... R.I.P. Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor... The Godfather of comedy! Bernie Mac & Eddie Murphy The Kings of comedy! Katt Williams & Dave Chappelle, The 2 prince's of Comedy (Aka, The successors & The Last of a dying breed)!!

Rest in peace Richard

Seeing that made me laugh, and realize how much I miss Mr. Pryor. Thank you for sharing.

He like to keep things real. Miss Him. R. I. P.

I loved him in Silver Streak. The funniest scene is when he and Gene Wilder are in the bathroom with shoe polish trying to make Gene Wilder Black

It's hard to watch this. The man looked so sad. To know how much pain was behind the jokes might be the most profound revelation behind it all. A man stands on a stage, talks about his life, and we all laughed with him. How many cried with him I wonder?

Me being in my late 20’s I never saw Larry this young before 😩

Wow i just randomly searched this man up that i never knew and u had just posted this video.. LOL IGUESS destiny is real .

The second interview is probably Richard at his most calm and relaxed. It was a great interview. Thank u very much for posting.

Rest in paradise

We love and miss you Richard , You are still making so many happy watching what you left us . When we are down you are still helping us today 2024 To have a brighter day with a smile .

The great Richard Pryor the greatest comedian ever to walk this great planet of ours and bess us all with his iconic comical genius is truly a god given blessing to have heard to witness to watch and behold such greatness that we will never ever see again in our lives that to me is truly a great blessing from God to have allowed us to see what he can do and accomplish with the time he was given but we never wanted him to go if any of us could have asked God to give us more time with him all of us would have gladly proudly drop to our very knees and ask God to give this great man another extension of time to be with us but unfortunately time ran out so he was taken from us forever I know where he is he is in heaven knocking the all down with devastating comedy like he did with us all here on earth we are all in awe of this great great man and forever inspired God bless you Richard I love you forever where you will be in my heart and im sure I'm not alone in that sentiment

Damn. Wow, I must've missed this. Thanks @Reelblack.

And 2 years later, he starred with Eddie Murphy in the classic Harlem Nights! Thanks for this, always nice to see Richard Pryor the GOAT!

R .I .P. RICHARD PRYOR THE G.O.A.T I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

HBO do a Richard Pryor bio next 🕊 peace to the God

God bless you mr pryor one of the greats i love the movies respect

MR. RICHARD PRYOR!!!

Rip Richard, George Carlin, and Larry King🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Amazing, How he came through with his Comedy, cause his real life was Dramatic! Too many women taking advantage of Him. And Family! God Bless this Man for handling all of that. Flynn Belaine Pryor really took him down the Path. I have stories. I know......

I'm here cuz I grew up watching this guy and thankful to have experienced such a great guy. Fortunately I was too young to focus on his drug addictions. Anything with Gene was a classic and the best comedy we don't get to see anymore. A great, a genius, a poet, the realist man in the business. God bless him and family 🙏❤️❣️

Rip the leyend 😢😢 richhard pryor

Richard Pryor is the foundation of the wonderful comics we have today 2024.

39:53 True! Absolutely true! I can listen to his voice for hours and I won't get tired or annoyed. When I'm watching a movie with him or simply just an interview his voice is always calming and it makes me feel safe. What a legend! RIP KING OF COMEDY ❤️👑 YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED!

I'm glad him and Eddie got a chance to work together on Harlem Knights. Excellent movie and awesome performance by all the actors!😎💯

The Comedy Genius. The Greatest Of All Time!!

MR RICHARD PRYOR THE TRUE KING OF COMEDY " ENUFF SAID R.I.P. MR PRYOR GONE BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN Y" GOD BLESS THE PRYOR FAMILY SHALOM SYL DAVIS

Every time I watch this and it gets to the calls, I tear up all the way through (and I'm no crier). The love coming through those phone calls was REAL. And Brett Butler just about got EVERYBODY choked up. That a comedian as good as Brett called and didn't crack one joke spoke VOLUMES about how she felt about Richard Pryor. This world really misses him.

You can tell with that heart felt "thanks George" that Pryor also admired Carlin and that being called "The Master" by Carlin really meant something to him. People compares them with Chapelle or Louis Ck, but I think that Pryor and Carlin were way better than everybody else. They were honest and not so full of themselves like Chappelle or Louis Ck. They were controversial in a time were being controversial was really dangerous for the Status quo and they were not even arrogant about their talent and bravery. Long live Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

Oh yes! He was a Actor too !

OG 👑King 🤴🏽uh Comedy👏🏽💪🏽☝🏽 Neva 🙅🏽‍♂️will be anutha💯👆🏽🙌🏽Long Live Da Greatest Comedian of All Time Richard Pryor 🖤

so wow right around the time of Jo Jo Dancer 1986 was when he started to get sick 😢 one of my fav Pryor movies of all time im glad he was well enough to do Harlem Nights and got his wish to work with Eddie Murphy, i never need to see anything else after those 2 films. He wouldve been 84 yrs old now

As you can see, Comedy is No Joke! Love you Richard, and Thank You!

Two greats that have passed on.

Did anyone notice in the news crawl below they were talking about the government practicing and being prepared for a pandemic? That took me out

RICHARD YOU'VE BEEN N ALWAYZZZ WILL BE OUT G.O.A.T!! REST IN POWER UNCLE RICH🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾😎👌🏾🎉🎊💯💯💯💯I WOULD NOT BE WEIR I AM TODAY!!😊😔💘😎✊🏾💯💯💯💯U HELP ME WITH MY ms!!😔🤔😊💘💘💘😎✊🏾💯💯💯💯💘😎✊🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I have a relative with MS and several friends and everyone knows that drug use does not cause it! His questions are vivid stupidity!

sad what happened to his health later in life. always hard to see someone wither away slowly. specially a legend. and someone who was so lively.

“CNN the most trusted name in news” damn those were some different times

Richard used to run the all the shows he is on Pryor show, Johnny Carson etc... Looks like he got humbled now

I just started watching his comedy. His comedy has no equal. RIP

It sad 2 see a gr8,courageous,genius suffer.I was diagnosed with MS on 2018.I started 2 suffer slowly since 2013.Cancer is better,coz it can kill.MS has no cure.It destroy ur body functions. He led a very bitter sweet life.

And so intelligent ! And funny! Funny! No body? Could NEVER take HIS PLACE..

KING OF COMEDY!!!

RIP 🙏 Richard. I grew up in the 70s and Richard Pryor was a big part of my life. I took his albums from my brother and would sit and listen to them in my bedroom. I would laugh like a nut job. Then I saw Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, Live on the Sunset Strip, etc. He was a troubled but beautiful person. Richard made me laugh in this interview.....the lady tells him not to lose his sense of humor and he says "thank you very much sir" hahaha

The GOAT!

RIP Mr.Richard Pryor. and Mr. Larry King.

Larry King was the best interviewer in history.

I’m 24 and this guy had a better hairline than me at 65

Wow. Eddie Murphy's impression of him was spot on.....he just needed Pryor to age another 20 to 30 years so it would sound just like him lol

🦋RIP My Fellow Sagittarius ♐️ One Of The Best Comedians 💪🏽

He said being on fire was scary and petrifying and awesome.

So glad Harlem Nights was made. #pinkytoe #hoodclassic
