I'm sure the Multiple sclerosis didn't help.

Silver Streak with Gene Wilder was another good one. I'll never forget him saying that when you're running down the street with your hair on fire, people will get out of your way.

He was a brilliant improvisational stand-up comedian. In the mid '60's, long before he was notorious, he used to be a regular guest on some lame late afternoon talk/variety show like Merv Griffin. Like I said, he was brilliant and used to absolutely take over the show.

Pryor had quite a life. He grew up in a whorehouse. He grabbed a little too much gusto, and the drug dragon bit him back, but, damn, he was funny.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was also a damn funny movie with him and Gene Wilder where Pryor is blind and Wilder is deaf...

Wally (Pryor): Where are we?

Dave (Wilder): Probably on our way to New Jersey by now.

Wally: No kidding! I got family in there! Do you wanna come with me?

Dave: Of course. You've earned my trust, Wally. You've been a very good friend to me these past couple days. You're always there for me. You never get me into trouble. Sometimes it seems a bit boring but that's a small price to pay for such a wonderful friendship.

Wally: That's beautiful, Dave. Do you mean everything you just said?

Dave: I'll tell you how I really feel in about a minute or two. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed by the STINK of the seven tons of garbage that you drove us into!!!

Wally: Is THAT what it is?! I thought you let one go! That's why I didn't say anything!

Dave: That's very kind of you! Thank you!

wow.

That man could truly make me laugh, truly make me enjoy his work

I will miss him
