  • willy wonka gone broke?

  • @churiso I think I remember hearing that, I knew that Pryor had co-wrote it but I think Pryor would've been hilarious as Bart, even better than Cleavon Little!

  • @PrimeTimeJokesta Pryor co-wrote the screenplay of Blazing Saddles. He was supposed to be the Sheriff himself, but Warner Brothers considered him too controversial at the time.

  • It actually said in his auto-biography that they werent great friends off the screen. He said richard was too busy dealing with his drug problems to have much of a friendship with him. So sad:(

  • Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor were the BEST comedy duo ever, I just wished that Pryor had made an appearence in Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles, THAT would've been classic! Stir Crazy, Silver Streak, See No Evil Hear No Evil, Another You, etc, they were so funny together! Perfect comedic duo! They were such good friends, I really felt bad for Gene when he talks about either Richard or Gilda, he loved them so much.

  • gave me goosebumps. A TRUE LEGEND//

  • He doesn't sound like your typical "old man". Still sounds like he is young. Mr. Wilder is awsome that way.

  • Gene Wilder man...

  • This man is my hero....

  • @briandenis1 Are you kidding..Gene has to be what...almost 80 years old...that's a bit old in the tooth for acting...unless your Jessica Tandy or Betty White or something...but how cool is he..even now....
