That’s how I took it, but you get too butt hurt when someone questions anything you say. diaf… name recognition was your mistake… you didn’t question me by saying “why do you think prior has a better reputation?”… you just assumed what i meant and tried to prove me wrong. stop trying to argue points i didnt 'even make. ---

> [@Coup D E'Tat](#): > > You know, Bob Saget is a household name as well. Does that make him a great comedian? Have you ever heard Bob Saget’s routine? He’s funny as hell. Richard Pryor was in a completely different league than Mitch Hedberg. Pryor was doing shit in the 1970s that most comics wouldn’t have the balls to do now. He was the Chris Rock of his era, and more important than Rock because he was the original profane-as-fuck funny black guy. That said, I think a lot of people are going a little crazy with the praise, but you’ll have that when any respected entertainer dies. I’d lump Mitch Hedberg in with the Lisa Lampinellis, Sarah Silvermans, and Patton Oswalts of the world; He was funny as hell, but he wasn’t an “icon”. ---
