Above the fray.
Richard Pryor on the dikk Cavett show.

A legend. :banderas: And he wasn't given Cavett no room to BS either. :ufdup:
Johnny Carson and his "bu bu bu bu but I can say N too" comment to Richard Pryor opened his eyes the way Chappele had the wakeup call shooting the second season of his show.

They start seeing the lens that these media gatekeepers view them in and present them to the world.

great post

unfortunately Paul Mooney did what he did,so he will be forgotten by history. But he was a pioneering Black writer who was in those writing rooms fighting those battles.

Yep paul did and got black balled out of Hollywood for standing up to writers and telling them off.

Its one of the reasons dave always had him and dikk Gregory as mentors / advisors.
