Here are the highlights of the interview: Age: 33 Credits: Forgetting Sarah Marshall & Penelope What Comedy god do you worship: Richard Pryor The funniest word: It’s not a word, it’s two words-digital manipulation, the process wherein a nurse, using her index finger, digs excrement out of [...]

Actress Rain Pryor, daughter of late comedian Richard Pryor, will be in Milwaukee on Wednesday to raise awareness of multiple sclerosis, a disease that afflicted her father.
As we’ve noted in the past, Stinky master of predicting the future of love sounds Justin Timberlake isn’t quite on the level of Richard Pryor or Lenny Bruce when it comes to comedy routines. After...
Ok, so Barack Obama is the Presidential front-runner in a country that has the worst race relations in modern history, Tiger Woods is on pace to become the first billionaire athlete in the world’s most historically racist sport, yet Nas can’t title his album “***”. Richard Pryor threw that word around in his album titles freer than a slave with papers, but when someone uses it to make a social statement...
Big News Network.com (As told to Josh Wolk) People always compare me to Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, or Bill Cosby, I guess just because of the black thing. But I always thought one of my biggest influences was George Car… Read the full article here
I wish it were going to be daily, just as I wish we could do the Daily Maron. But we can't. Deal with it. But if you're feeling cynical today, let Unka George speak from you from the Great Beyond, where he and Molly Ivins and Richard Pryor are sitting down with Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and James Thurber knocking back a few (because there's no such thing as addiction in heaven) and laughing...
I suspect the notion of listening to a comic on CDs the way one listens to a singer or rapper is alien to most people these days. But I actually own three comedy albums that I still listen to as much as I listen to any of my musical CDs: two of them are by Richard Pryor entitled That Nigger’s Crazy (1975) and Live on the Sunset Strip (1983) and the other is by George Carlin entitled Class Clown (1972),...
Like some of the other original comics who died too soon -- Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Andy Kaufman-- George Carlin changed comedy, nudging and sometimes pushing it along.
George Carlin Tested Limits of Speech and Society. The comedian liked to cause a fuss with his observations -- and we liked him for it. It was always comforting to know that George Carlin was out there making trouble. Like Richard Pryor, he straddled the great cultural divide that was the 1960s, coming in as a lamb and going out as a lion...
From * * * A Master of Words, Including Some You Can’t Use By CHARLES McGRATH Published: June 24, 2008 Stand-up comedy in America is not, for the most part, a long-lived profession. Comics burn out, go stale, lose their edge. Some, like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, almost literally consume themselves. Others, like Steve Martin, prudently [...]
When I read that George Carlin had passed away this morning I was sad. Why? Because he was a unique comic and I grew up sneaking listens to him when I wasn't supposed to. Carlin, along with other comics like Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor and Andy Kaufman and shows like Saturday Night Live, Fridays and SCTV helped shape what is my very weird sense of humor and horrible propensity to swear like a sailor (and...

Next to Richard Pryor, George Carlin was a comedian that was so far ahead of his time, so cutting edge, that everyone else seemed pale in comparison. When I heard the news, it was like losing a close personal friend or member of the family. I had most of George's stuff that he had done over the years and without exception, his material made you think and not take for granted everything that the government...
Like most stand-up comedy fans my age, I got into it by stumbling across a Bill Hicks show - Revelations , his most famous, which I watched open-mouthed, unable to believe what I was seeing. From there, it was only natural to go to the old masters, back to Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, but I've got plenty of time for Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock too. My computer's jammed up with old routines and skits...
