S01E07 Richard Pryor with Gil Scott-Heron
It’s live from New York with the legendary Richard Pryor! The sketches feature a variety of comedic gems, including Samurai Hotel, Looks At Books, and a series of quick-fire gags in Line-Up #1. There’s a hilarious take on Word Association, followed by a playful nod to Pong. The theme of takeover unfolds in They’re Taking Over, leading to Line-Up #2. L-Pill adds a twist, and we see the beloved Jim Henson's Muppets in action. Another round of laughs comes from Line-Up #3, followed by a parody of Exorcist II, and wraps up with a sharp take on Assassination.
