Trading Places is 42 years old today - A THREAD This classic comedy was originally penned for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, but the idea died after Pryor 'unfortunately set himself on fire.' So it was passed to Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy... and comedy history was made. 1/

'I'm a karate man.' By the time the production was underway, 48 Hrs. hadn't even been released. When Eddie Murphy was suggested to director John Landis, Landis replied, 'Who's Eddie Murphy?' Also, check out a young Giancarlo Esposito. 2/

'Those men tried to have sex with me.' As a tribute to his friend, Dan Aykroyd's prison number is the same as John Belushi's in The Blues Brothers (1980). The guy manning the desk is Frank Oz (voice of Miss Piggy), who also gave Jake his possessions back in The Blues Bothers. 3/

'Jacuzzi, sir?' Denholm Elliot received a BAFTA nomination for his performance in Trading Places. It wasn't widely known at the time that Denholm had razor sharp comic timing (See Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) 4/

'Food and rent aren't the only thing around here that cost money.' Jamie Lee Curtis was a hard sell to the studio because she was mainly known as a horror scream queen. Her willingness to perform topless swung it for her, which many young boys were thankful for. NUDITY ALERT! 5/

'I told you he'd understand.' This was Ralph Bellamy's 99th film, and Don Ameche's 49th. Eddie Murphy joked: "Between the three of us, we've made one hundred fifty movies!" Both Bellamy and Ameche had no idea who Aykroyd and Murphy were before this movie, and visa versa. 6/

Dan Aykroyd's character, Louis Winthorpe III, attempts to end his own life twice. Once with pills, the other by shooting himself in the head. If you think that's pretty dark for a Christmas movie, you might not enjoy It's a Wonderful Life, either. 7/

'Fuck off.' G. Gordon Liddy, of illegal wiretapping Watergate Scandal fame, briefly considered playing Clarence Beaks. Thankfully the role went to Paul Gleason, whose delivery of 'Fuck off' is magnificent. Beaks later reads Liddy’s autobiography Will on the train. 8/

'Merry New Year!' The train scene is possibly my favourite. Each actor masterfully plays around with their character. Much to Justin Trudeau's disappointment, Aykroyd has said he regrets doing blackface, even though Murphy and his entourage never batted an eye. 9/

'Sell! Sell!' A law banning the use of misappropriated government information for market trading went into effect in 2010 because of Trading Places, it's called... The 'Eddie Murphy Rule'. Which is funny because Eddie didn't know what the hell was going on in this scene. 10/

Sidney Poitier was born on this day in 1927. It still blows my mind that Sidney directed the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor prison comedy Stir Crazy. That's right: they're bad.

Stir Crazy was the third highest grossing movie of 1980 in the US. It was the most successful movie Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder appeared in together. It's a comedy grounded in reality, which makes it even funnier, and credit for that goes to director, Sidney Poitier.

Blazing Saddles is 51 years old today. 'Excuse me while I whip this out.' Richard Pryor was set to play Sherriff Bart, but Warner Brothers wouldn't sign, so they went with brilliant Broadway and TV star, Cleavon Little. Pryor remained onboard as one of the writers. 5/17

With only three lines and one look to camera, 21-year-old Eddie Murphy steals this scene and maybe the whole movie in the 1983 comedy classic TRADING PLACES.

Eddie Murphy is a true legend. He is the only man who can make Richard the Goat Pryor laugh through his pain. This was hard to watch and funny at the same time. Two of the best to ever do it.

Richard Pryor was genuinely surprised on this talk show when they brought out the woman who helped shape him, his grandmother, Marie Pryor. Marie ran a brothel in Peoria, Illinois, and raised him in a world of violence, survival, and raw human behavior. She was strong, protective, and tough, someone Pryor described as both loving and controlling. She taught him to fight back and never back down. That fearlessness later showed up in his comedy, where nothing was off limits. Pryor’s voice did not come out of nowhere. It was forged by the woman who raised him. Pryor did not just tell jokes. He told the truth about race, pain, family, and life as he had lived it. His comedy was not just talent. It was survival turned into truth.

In 1977, Richard Pryor spoofed Star Wars by playing himself as a bartender in a Cantina sketch for THE RICHARD PRYOR SHOW. He personally asked for George Lucas's blessing, and Lucas was such a big fan of Pryor's, he not only said yes but also gave Pryor various masks and costumes used in the film 😂 hilarious

In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose

Damon Wayans Was Supposed To Play Richard Pryor But Ex Wife Ruined It “I don’t think it’s his life—I think it’s his ex-wife who wants to make it her story. Because I read her book, A Fallen Angel, which was a good book, but Richard was abusive, and she wants it to be more about that. And I met with Jennifer, and I was like, ‘Look, Richard Pryor is like Malcolm X with punchlines—that’s how Black people see him. They would lose their minds if they made this movie about you.”

This was a Clash that will always be remembered and it was between Richard Pryor and Dorothy Fuldheim on the Johnny Carson show! She swore there weren’t any homeless and poor people in this Country and Richard sets her straight!

Beverly Hills Cop is 40 years old today. Eddie Murphy gives an astoundingly self assured performance given the fact that he was only 23 when he played Alex Foley. He already had Trading Places and 48 Hrs. under his belt, but this was the one.

You are a minuscule part of Richard Pryor to us, so you do yourself a disservice trying to make it this.'" - Damon Wayans

The idea for SNL's infamous "WORD ASSOCATION" sketch featuring Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor began with Pryor's personal comedy writer Paul Mooney and Mooney's dislike of Lorne Michaels. Pryor, who was set to host, demanded they hire Mooney to help write to Pryor's voice but Lorne was skeptical so he personally interviewed Mooney to see if he should hire him for the episode, which Mooney felt was more an embarrassing examination based on his race than talent. Mooney said, "After all the bullshit I've been put through to get here, the fucking cross-examination Lorne subjects me to, I decide to do a job interview of my own." The sketch was ranked in Rolling Stone magazine as #10 for their 50 Best SNL Sketches of All-Time list.
