I just saw Richard Pryor on "The Insider" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

He's one of my comic heroes, but man was that hard to watch. He can't even speak anymore. You can tell just by looking at him he's absolutely miserable.

That's so sad

Hey, Ashlee, have you ever seen the classic "word association" SNL sketch with Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase?

That's got to be one of the funniest moments in television history.

Saw the previews for it, but changed the channel because I knew it would be sad.

I think I might know what you're talking about, and if I'm right...yeah, that's hilarious

LOL, the one where they try to 'outbigot' each other. 60 Minutes profiled SNL the other night and showed that skit. Lorne Michaels said they could never get away with that today. Classic stuff.

He's had MS for almost 20 years, and it's rendered him almost a vegetable.

Pryor's delivery of "DEAD honky" in that sketch never fails to crack me up.

Easily my favorite sketch from the first five years of SNL.
