Okay, so here’s the story: A very adult comedian, one of the writers on “Blazing Saddles”, gets a Saturday Morning show aimed at kids. It was only a few years after he set himself on fire, and after he became one of the highest paid actors ever. He was still a box office success, so… who gave him a kid’s show?

              Here now is the story of how this unlikely show came to Saturday Morning.

              How did this Bicentennial stand up end up on Saturday Morning? 

              Was this inspired by a certain Eddie Murphy sketch on “Saturday Night Live”?

              Just who were all those famous people who showed up?

     All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at PRYOR’S PLACE! 

Thanks for ‘tooning in.
