Richard Pryor pass away tonight of a heart attack. He had just turned 65. Wonderful comedian, he changed comedy forever. What do you remember best about him?

Showing my age, eh? I loved his 'hear no evil, speak no evil' movie with Gene Wilder. They worked well together in a few movies.

Speaking of Gene Wilder .

Charlie and the Chocolate factory, best movie ever!

The new one could have been if Tim Burton had focused more on intensity than graphics.

I think he was hilarious, especially his stand ups..... if it wasnt for him there would be no Eddie Murphy (Delirious or Raw)..

I agree, he opened the door to a whole new style of comedy.
