It has to be Richard Pryor.
In 2004, Pryor was voted #1 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.

In the words of Paul Rodriguez -
"Richard Pryor is to comedy what Gretzky is to hockey, what Ali is to Boxing. He is The Beatles of comedy."

In the words of Whoopi Goldberg:
"What would life be like without Richard Pryor and Mudbone? Dull, baby, very dull. There will never be another Richard Pryor. He is, and always has been, the funniest man alive."

I love these quotes from him:
* I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying 'til I get it right.
* I couldn't stop. I put the pipe down. It jumped back in my hand.
* I had some great things and I had some bad things. The best and the worst... In other words, I had a life.
* I'd like to make you laugh for about ten minutes — though I'm gonna be on for an hour.
* Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings... and lawyers.
