He said "Sistah, you here with whitey tonight? What, you get tired of taking a REAL dick or was you lookin' for a relationship with insurance?" I've never been happier to be picked on in my entire life! Sadly, this was edited out of the show .

He offered to pay my Grandfather (16 at the time) $10 to drive the car across town and park in a certain spot. My trepidatious grandfather inspected the car and then, to Guido's objection, opened the trunk. There was a body wrapped in a carpet. My Grand father refused the offer. It's what kept him out of the mob. My Great Uncle Guido went on to control all the farm labor unions in Central California. True story.

      ​​@@user-hp1ou3nb7t I agree 💯. They're two of the greatest comedians with Richard coming out on top and George usually comes in at 2nd place.

      And just to think when Richard first hit the scene many critics were comparing him to Bill Cosby in which he said himself he was inspired by him. Once Richard started being himself and cussing in his standups, that's when he took off and never went back.

    Satin Doll was around in 2010/2012 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin she had a bar that was grandfathered in that could stay open like 24 hours. i was in milwaukee for work and one of my co-workers brings me to her bar, where she’s holding court at 4 am over the bar mantle was a huge photo of her in her prime framed. she tells us how Duke Ellington named a sing after her. and how she know a who’s who of all walks of life we stayed until about 7am talking to her and her daughters. lifetime memory, & now to see this bit to confirm some of her stories is great to see!! her place was on West Fond du Lac Avenue

    A lot of people nowadays won’t get that this is one of the greatest bits of all times. Another comedian could makeup a more outrageous story but Pryor lived it. Even great comedians write stuff down but you can tell that he’s so good he was telling the story in the moment! The timing and the energy doesn’t lie. Pryor is the greatest

    The stripper Richard is talking about‘s real name was Toni Elling (born Rosita Sims). Looking up some pictures of her on Google from back when she was performing and she really was beautiful. She was inducted into the Burlesque Hall Of Fame (I never knew that there was such a place, but I digress.) She passed away at the age of 94 on April 2, 2023.
