@Wilkopops they said "asalam alekum" and "alekum salam". this is a muslim gretting which means "peace be with you" and was popular in the black community in the 60s and 70s. the brother bell character is a spoof on the black panthers, who might have used that phrase.
It seems to me that NBC wanted this show to fail from the start. To put a show like this on at 8 p.m is madness. AND It was opposite Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley! Obviously it would not last, but Pryor is forever a comedy genius, legend and icon.
You should all check out a skit from the fourth episode, which was a filthy Richard Pryor Roast. It's high-larious. It's in the related videos.

i forget the name of this show but its been said that for its time it was just as or even funnier than chappelle show and it lasted about as long but the censors took it off cuz it was way too edgy..pryor and mooney were comedy gold
for fuck sakes so many negatives for my comment. So Richard Pryor can joke that as a black president he will have a hard time to contain his temper (due to him portraying sterotype's) but if I make a similer joke, people (I guess mainley black folks) do not like it?! the hypocrisy is laughable.
there's no hypocrisy, DH. there are so many racist youtubers, it was automatically assumed you are one of them. when i first read your comment, i thought you were serious. i'm sure the nine people who gave you those negatives did as well.

What did Brother Bell and then Pryor say at 3.43? That still confuses me.

The black QB issue perked my interest. It's amazing how comedy can show how people felt about social issues.
Now, we do have black QBs, and black coaches. All we need now is the black owner....
