He was the one Richard was talking about in his joke when he said" I found out when you on fire people will get out your way"

I could listen to this man all day

comedy hype is on fire right now (no pun intended)

Thanks to Monique and Rashan Khan comedy hype is getting big. Hopefully he can put Vlad out of business.

There is a valuable lesson here...SAY NO TO DRUGS !

There's a gem hidden @ 4:16... It's not a coincidence that all these older, healthier dudes reference fasting for the ultimate healing!!

I believe everything this O.G. is saying I've seen him do interviews years ago and everything he's saying word for word he's said in other interviews. I believe he's trying to sell his book but I also believe he's telling the truth about everything!!

"I don't notice RIchard at that time I just see a ball of fire...literally.... whatever Richards height was the fire was that big and it was running towards me...." 🕴🏽 🔥🔥🔥🏃🏽‍♀️💨💨

Damn Richard been through a lot.

Richard was fighting some serious demons!! Wow!

This is DL Hughley in 10-20 years!!!!

Dude gotta be traumatized by things he witnessed in Hollywood . This probably therapeutic for him

Just when I think I know where this interview is going, the rabbit hole goes even deeper!

Imagine TMZ having that footage today 😬

I like the way he answers these questions. He's genuine and real.

He was one of the niggaz that moved out the way

This man is so well spoken

He has absolutely no reason to lie lol

This book is about to sell.

For all the ppl saying he's lying, he's NOT! You can Google the burning monk & in another doc the same story is told.

I dnt think his lying people jus dnt want to believe it

This man isn't lying about anything. He was there through RP experiences. Bear witness to what went on in his life. #wow

He let a burning man run down the hallway but because he didn’t know who it was he didn’t intervene! Cold Bloodied.

For those who might not have ever seen the Monk that set himself on fire, its one of the best historical photos for protests in history. it's crazy that they were mabey watching that live

All of this is valid rashon is a solid dude

Can’t wait for this book Rashon has been in all the documentaries and specials on Richard. Nobody ever disputes his stories. Gotta be true.

“Wow that’s a pretty blue”...”FIIIRRRREEEEE!”

Good story teller I was in tune the whole time

“Wow that’s a pretty blue”...”FIREEEEE!!!”

Nice interviews, please keep them coming. They seem honest and real!

Yoooo, I just put 2 & 2 together......that "Monk" who caught himself on fire that may have given Richard the idea to catch himself on fire, that same monk is on one of my all time favorite hip hop albums cover!! It's Jedi Mind Tricks 2004' album "Legacy Of Blood" and I only found out recently that's who it was on the cover of that album was a monk during a protest and set himself on fire even tho I had been listening to that album around 09' lol just never knew that

This man knows Richard better than his wives. He looks.cool.as hell btw.

Got a book coming out trying to sell it

This dude is cool and smooth a layback brother respect !!!!!!!!

This guy is awesome the truth that he is speaking about are awesome! Thank you brother.

Black women never run from anything! I love black women!!! Men always running away from it ...black women run to it!!

Love this channel

Man this makes it funny cause he was watching a monk light himself on fire lol

Not sure who he is, but I could listen to him talk all day

90% of you KNEW it was Richard.. You leaned on the other 10% instead of the 90%. I heard it’s 3 sides to a story. I wonder which version this is!

I read pryors bio written by pryor he thru liquor on himself and set himself on fire.. he said he was tired of his addiction..he also wrote that when he got out the hospital he went to his stash and got high again.. great book for fans

Run D.L Sanford!

Bodyguard too sorry to call for an ambulance or fire truck while a 60 something year old lady try to chase Richard down to help him.

Has to be one of the coolest people on earth. I really rock w this guy

Lol smh rashon said the fucc out the way lol....smh Richard was super high set himself on fire lol....Fucc a flinch lol he took off running 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LmFaO a ball of 🔥😂🤣

Is the FULL interview available, instead of these multiple snippets?

He bout the finish or release a book not saying hes lying but hes gearing yal up to buy that book

Here before 100 views 👍🏽

When Richard Pryor was on that episode of Martin that was why he couldn't really talk or anything. He could just wave and talk in mumbles. God bless the legend of Richard Pryor.

Thats wisdom speaking. A real voice of wisdom

Mos Def??

I would be thinking Goodness gracious greatball of Fire!!!

Being high saved Richard's life, no sober man could have run 2-3 blocks while on fire

LOVE WHAT YOU DOING!

So the bodyguard did not chase him or try to put out the fire? bet there is more to this story...maybe the body gaurd was hgh too

This "CON", I mean, "Khan" was/is a TRAINED, martial arts expert, as well as Pryor's BODY"GUARD" and trainer (AND spiritual advisor) ..and he has, also, worked as a stuntman in films ..He is TRAINED to be COURAGEOUS, and stay DISCIPLINED, as a SOLDIER, to PROTECT Richard ...and he has said, in other interviews (posted in publications) that he "sidestepped", because Richard had a knife in his hand ..HOW COME he didn't mention it, here? ..Plus, his accounts are relatively knew - he's said this in RECENT years, although his claims DO NOT match up with all other accounts given on what happened with Richard that day, including Richard's...

Omgoodness poor Richard😢

4:10 I want that old black wisdom

Got' dayuhm' !!! Man ... from this dude's mouth, all I know, in my heart IS truth. Damn. Rashon Khan, Flip Wilson's nephew ... was there, the day, Richard Pryor burned. Wow.

That overproof rum burns like jet fuel, I am surprised that he survived that.

I heard this story before about the monk and him moving outta the way of a running fireball.

Synchronicity lined up the list about the man on tv’s fire and all he mentioned.

Yoo that's a yondo beat 👌🏾

this man speaks like an old pusha T lmao on some straight gangsta shit lol

I pictured Richard Pryor saying “fuck his commitment he dint even flinch” while eating cookies and milk lol

He looks like DL Hugely a bit 😂😂😂😂😂

People Love Rich. And Always Will. ❤

More damage control ...Notice how this channel is uploading his interview, piece-by-piece, giving days in between ..This is just to test our reactions, and see what damage control may be necessary ...and, ironically, I am JUST uploading a vid, that goes AGAINST his "burn" story, as I'm listening to this ...Remember: this was a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL, skilled in MARTIAL ARTS - he would know how to handle this situation, not just "getting out of the way" ..and he was a runner, but didn't try to catch Richard ..I believe this guy was a HANDLER, not a bodyguard (bodyguards don't just "side-step", as he described it in another interview). PLEASE WATCH my upload, and my other vids addressing this, because many of the listeners up in here are TOO YOUNG (and impressionable) to know of the original accounts of that fire incident: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5qAo7djmte5npc.html

He looks like an older DL Hugley.

Spontaneous Combustion

He has a point when he say's it could have been an accident. A high Pryor could have spilled the 5th of rum on himself, bumped into a lit candle and caught fire.

Why would anyone else (person) be on fire in that building besides the two dudes who watched. A monk light himself .what the fucking ...you didn't know it was Richard.. until you went back to check the room he was in to make sure .hmmm

I never heard him say he left the room in old interviews when Richard set himself on fire. Why did aunt chase him but not the bodyguard.

He is a smart man

I remember this guy telling this story years ago.

Wow i never heard this story i remember as a kid my mom showing me his stand up

THE FIRE__*

Y’all read his book!! Crazy

This nigga know more then what tf he saying

I mean for the people that thinks he's lying can hear Richard tell some of these same stories

When you sell your soul, you could never get over it. No matter what drugs you take, no matter how much money you have nice cars, house and women is God put a conscience in you and that is what does lick them. Up. Because your conscience always remind you of who you are.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

These stories are crazy wow

That nigga was on fire. That's how we got over that gate. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So how many parts are there to this interview with this fool🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

This seasoned brotha is so fine 😍😍

Ball of fire. Was it lightening?

Wow he had guns there too!!

Friends dont let friends set themselves on fire......or do drugs with absolute indifference?

I heard other actors tell the story. They said they were outside . Richard was having a party.

I wonder was he getting hi with Richard...he never says yay or nay

He took his time to try to save him

What were you thinking? "Get the fuck out the way...." yeah that's fair enough

You think watching the monk set himself on fire gave him the idea?

Get out the way so I can live to tell you this story

Richard Pryor demonstrated the notion to his audience that he tried to kill himself by setting himself on fire in the biopic film, "Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling." That's still a film....that's not reality.

Oh my! It almost seems like a punishment for Richard's minimizing the monk's burning himself. Observe the time lapse!...I know I know: if that were true, his friend would've gotten it too ;)

So if it wasn't Richard you weren't going to help???????

This Brother is Deep and RP was fortunate to have him in his corner.

DAM!!! This Brother is wise and obviously clear in his memories. He was there, no speculation or theories, his retelling is straight from personal experience. His take is straight from the “horses mouth!!!
