Richard Pryor
The Hall: Honoring The Greats of Stand Up | The Official Podcast
THE HALL podcast series for “Netflix is a Joke” offers an in-depth look into the lives and careers of the greats of stand-up comedy. This third episode of THE HALL looks at Richard Pryor, whose use of intimately autobiographical material transformed comedy as we know it. Pryor transmuted tragedy into electric stand-up routines, and it’s fair to say that every comedian who came after him carries his influence. This episode examines Pryor’s stand up, his films, and even his revolutionary, short-lived NBC TV series “The Richard Pryor Show.” To honor Pryor, we speak to Tracy Morgan, Howie Mandel, Reginald Hudlin, Sherri Shepherd, Laraine Newman, Richard’s daughter Rain Pryor and more.
