Paul Mooney was the first to put robin williams on TV. He was on the Richard Pryor show which only lasted 4 episodes. That’s how robin got his big break
Yeah but the story I remember is Comedy Central offered Dave Chappelle $50M to do Season 3. But Dave Chappelle was burned out from working "20 hours a day" to create the show. Chappelle went on vacation to Africa instead of doing season 3.
@@rational_observer That is an element of what happened but not the whole story or the pertinent part of events. Dave felt that the network was trying to influence the content of the show, and often succeeding.

That is, he thought he'd be a sellout. 35 years ago, Jackie Gleason said this about network tactics (paraphrasing here): In the beginning they give you a ton of freedom and a ton of money.

@@esehfrancismorara191 Wasn’t really ahead of his time. He’s just knows history always repeats itself. Given his age he’s had to of seen and heard a lot.
Eddie Griffin also said that they start with black stars on these new networks and once they create something they cancel ur show and replace it with a show that is "community friendly". U can see how Chappelle show was replaced with K&P and benefited from the following that Dave et al. fought for.
RIP there will never be another like Paul Mooney, unapologetically unafraid, unintimidated, unwavering, and always always so funny, RIP to a real comedy legend.
I really feel like by being a stand up fan since I was a kid and watching so many of the legends has truly added to my life and made me a better person. Watching these old skits and stand up routines takes me back to when I watched them the first time much like an old song playing brings up memories of where I was in life. RIP Paul Mooney
One thing you gotta love about Paul Mooney, he was just so unapologetic about who he was. He had no problem telling someone how he really felt and always kept it real
Paul Mooney is one of the reasons I love comedy so much. As a Art and Craft. He was such a artist with the way he crafted jokes and dropped knowledge at once
I love you, I love you, I love you. Thank you for taking away my worries with laughter and realism. He's always got that number one spot In my heart as one of the most phenomenal black comedians that ever touched a mic.
A true Champion of TRUTH! I pray for his family as well his inner circle. All of his statements are true and resonates in the now as well future! Rest in peace - a REAL pioneer!
RIP to a very funny man that I grew to love on the Chappelle Show. He was hilarious and I loved him as a comedian. He's one of the comedians that has inspired me to want to try being a comedian like Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and many others. #rippaulmooney
This show put me on to Paul Mooney to the point, I was buying his his stand ups and The Richard Prior show back when I was teenager in the early and mid 2000s. This man was the first person to show me how funny the TRUTH was. Rest in Power 👑
I could listen to him break down any subject analytically and expose the truth. Listen to his reading between the lines of current events. Connecting the dots none of us ever would. Or listen to his predictions, the Hollywood news only an insider would be privy to, his perspective unapologetically real on racism, that is hilarious and insightful. I still will hear him in my head at work as a coping strategy for dealing with people's questions. Am I the only person who has fantasies about what Paul Mooney might say to a colleague, client, boss to answer their questions? It's fun.
Rest In Power Mr Mooney ... Thank you for everything .. one of if not the greatest... He was too raw and real.... His genius was unmatched ❤️🙏 love you... "Everybody wanna be a 🤯❤️🤣😥☠️ but nobody wanna be a 🤯🙏🍺☠️ !"
Rest In Power Paul Mooney, I loved going to his stand up shows on a late Saturday night. I wouldn't stop laughing 🤣😂 until Monday morning with sore ribs. 🤣🤣
What’s dope is that Mooney roasts The Green Mile, Stephen King asks the next question, and then Mooney seamlessly roasts Stephen King 🔥 I learned two things from that: Stephen King likes Paul Mooney’s comedy, and Paul Mooney had no safety 🤣
The little smirk he does after saying something phenomenal. Rest in Power Paul Mooney!
-I love it! 😂
Facts
I Love Him!!!!

Most gorgeous man RIP Paul Mooney
"Wayne Brady makes Bryant Gumble look like Malcom X" is one of the hardest-hitting lines in comedy history.
Followed by the 'Gangster Wayne' sketch.. I dont care if i live to be 120 years old, it Impossible to watch that without catching stomache cramps from laughter. That Malcom X line hit like a nuclear bomb .. the long pause and then follow up with that sketch was like a SuperNova.
Wayne Brady still doesn't think it was funny, strange but true.
That was my favorite Paul Mooney joke!! So funny!!
I love it, lol, he gets not just one of them, but both of them in such a short joke.
@@Cookieboy70 he not only get both of them but white people too! Truly a genius joke!
I don't know if Tom Hanks is interested in that project but his son might be

Paul just sitting with those two white women is hilarious. He doesn't even need to say anything, his face 🤣
Right 😅😅😅
Yes!!!
She went to sleep with everybody except mamie
@@adonaiyah2196 lol, classic.
Facts
His stand up and comedy in general was so raw and truthful. Imma miss tf outta him
💯💯
Exactly I'm so sad I love me some paul mooney
Swear I'd love 2 hear his takes on all this craziness
His bit about the dog at the OJ Simpson trial... I can get late stage dementia and I'll NEVER forget that. 😂
Exactly.
RIP to one of the best to ever do it
Facts
Facts
True 💯
The Best in my opinion
To do it to little kids. Depends on who you ask. Richard Pryor son tell you different.
The Stephen King response is hilarious and the way he paused makes it seemed like he did almost say it. 😄 🤣
And to think Paul was just free styling and got it right makes it even more funnier 😂😂
That was gold and Mooney’s reaction just priceless
he's definitely racist
the best was at the end in the extended cut when mooney thought all those questions were scripted but blown away when dave told him, "nope those were all genuine questions. we didnt ask them to say anything."
he just heard the n-word in his head on repeat the whole time
Patrice O'neal, Charlie Murphy, Paul Mooney. All legends that played a part on the best sketch comedy of all time. R.I.P.
"Diddy got dolphin teeth"
- Patrice o'neal
I especially miss Patrice.
And two of those three were attracted to women.
Bernie Mac RIP
@@elseascotty9346 yes, can’t forget the MAC 🙏
"They took James Brown...then they gave him back" 🤣
RIP
He got me with that one !!😂😂
As a Brown, I’m offended!
“She came back as Oprah Winfrey to get her money” 🤣🤣🤣
Stuff just flies by like a hurricane with him....you're laughing and catching up.
Negrodamus, a comedy classic. 😂
Kinda disappointed this isn’t uncut, that’s the only way to truly appreciate Mooney’s greatness
RIP Paul Mooney I always loved him on Chappelle Show
I got the whole series on dvd just watched ask a black man yesterday R.I.P
@@ericbarkewitz7586 same here even on Google TV I bought the series
Yes indeed R.I.P.
What hapoened with the Chappelle's show?
@@ao1920 Chappelle left because he was losing creative control of the show.
crazy how media barely talked about him passing away. RIP
Hollywood did not F with Mooney. His mouth was his gift and curse. He did things his way (Like Dave way before Dave made it cool) and he was essentially blacklisted but He's so talented he made his presence known without much mainstream support.
@@thelightseeker94 yeah kinda got that vibe
You're right. I only found out by a UA-cam thumbnail, other than that haven't heard a peep.
I had no idea he passed, saw this video uploaded 2 days ago and recomended and I thought 'oh no, is Mooney ok?' RIP Mooney.
True. But, to be fair, they also largely ignored the passing of Bill Hicks.
RIP to this legend, "Analyzing White America" is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen
I got that in my UA-cam favorites...I watch it at least once a week lol
“White people have nosey specials”.
I would see Paul mooney a lot at the off track betting in manhattan ,on 38 st and 7 th ave,,he loved to bet on the horses
It is incredible, and you have superb taste.
Aaagh
Rest in Power.
He wasn’t a comedian. He was a philosopher.
100% facts. Philosopher at a tee. Like a hilarious Socrates
Indeed!
Most Great Comedians Are
Correct
Most philosophers have the ability to be hilarious.
When Paul said “they’ll take your show” in true negrodamas fashion”
Facts and thats exactly what happened... we lost a great one... RIP MOONEY
Absofuckinlutely!
I was thinking the same he said theyll take him too T.T
That Tom hanks joke lives rent free in my mind 😂 🤣
It’s a pretty perfect joke lol
Funny but true
Mr. Mooney knew he was a genius, and he refused to back down. We need him so much more than we had him.
He'd let u know
“I get to talking some mess on your show, they’ll take your show, they’ll fix you too” 💎
They don't want us to have too much fun 😂
Between Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, George Carlin...I really can't qualify who's the true godfather of stand up comedy. They all are in their own right. Legendary people, Legendary comics and those people alive who were influenced by these late greats have a responsibility to carry the torch.
Giants !!
Freaking all legendary
Patrice O'Neal was beloved by all comics.
Robin Harris there was there too, so we SALUTE Paul Mooney. R.I.P. to the O.G'z.
Paul Mooney was the first to put robin williams on TV. He was on the Richard Pryor show which only lasted 4 episodes. That’s how robin got his big break
3:57 the deadpan delivery combined with the random seat folding up was hilarious 😆
3:57 That observation was so funny a ghost had to jump off its seat. RIP Paul, such effortless humor.
The fact that I lived in a time when Paul Mooney and Dave Chapelle overlapped= I am A fortunate being.
"They took James Brown....they gave him back." LOL
I died with that line
I love Negrodamus so much. Growing up in a poor black community he was everything to me. Thank you so much Negrodamus I love you
Throughout his entire career, whenever I'd see Paul Mooney come on TV, I'd always have 2 words to say:
"UH, OH!"
Your Not
... wrong.. lol
He was essentially right about "them" taking Chappelle's Show
Yup

@@rational_observer Yes. ✌️👌
I bet there's gonna be a Chappeles show marathon this weekend paying tribute to Mr Mooney.
There should be
Rest in peace Paul. I heard of his passing a few days late. Can't believe how many people we're losing man. Just heartbreaking.
He is and will always be “Black Comedy “ truthfully, he was behind all of our icons ! You will always live ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nah. He was just a POS Mo.
Paul Mooney was the most " underrated " comedian in history. Love u Paul and you will never be forgotten.
How ironic was it that they actually took Dave Chappelle's show and said, "its worth billions but we'll give u millions and btw this show wouldn't be didley squat without you Dave so what do ya say dave"
!! They take everything. Paul Mooney was ahead of his time.

The Oprah joke is my fav. Wouldn't that be great.
I believe to this day he did Wayne Brady a solid with that one joke, no lie
Yes. There are lots of people that were introduced to Wayne by that legendary skit.
"Hollywood has Gone to Far"- Paul Mooney. RIP Paul Mooney.

I already miss him... unreal the light he was able to shed on difficult topics. We were lucky to have shared space on the planet with him.
Thank you to Dave for including this legend in his show. I don't understand how he wasn't as big if not bigger than all the greats HE wrote for.
He followed his own beat & wouldnt allow the elites to change his tunes.
