Isn't That Special

Review: Live In Concert (1979), Richard Pryor

This week's important discussion covers sports in Las Vegas, sandwiches at White Sox games and Swedish culture. For our comedy special we review what is considered, by many, the yardstick by which all other comedy specials are measured: Richard Pryor, live in Concert (1979). Ooooh! I wonder what they'll say about it? It's a bugger to find but is available to watch for free on Daily Motion: Richard Pryor Live in Concert.
