Chevy Chase / Richard Pryor


So everyone was on drugs that night, right?

Chase was answering questions he wasn't being asked (and was strangely subdued until Pryor came out), Pryor's mood seemed to switch by the second, and the other two guests seemed awfully giddy about nothing.

By the end even Carson was wondering what the hell was going on.

Weirdly moody show: Chevy was very nervous & missing his funny marks, painful to watch him pratfalls to an already injured spine which still haunts him today (Jerry Lewis too!) Pryor got Carson to laugh out loud a few times,was interesting about the 'NBC Suits' bugging his creativity. Sorkel actress was just strange but James Hampton a surprisingly, sweet guy.

It was an awkward interview.

And Chevy is so smug and always so full of himself. Felt good to see him try to be funny but failing at it.

Damn, I'm good.
