"Not the Face! Not the Face!"

This is a piece about Richard Pryor by Mark Evanier a Hollywood writer who worked with him a handful of times. However more amusing is his recollection of the time Pryor met Rod Hull and Emu.

The Guardian publishes an edited transcript of a 1975 Saturday Night Live appearance.

From Newsweek.

"Richard Pryor was the Picasso of our profession," says Jerry Seinfeld.

"His very presence gave black people a chance to laugh and feel good about stuff that usually pissed us off," says Chris Rock.
