* ScrewedByTheNetwork: ''The Richard Pryor Show'' was cancelled by Creator/{{NBC}} after four episodes, probably because television audiences did not respond well to the show's controversial subject matter, and Pryor was unwilling to alter his material for network censors.
* ThoseTwoActors: He and Creator/GeneWilder did four films together: ''Film/SilverStreak'', ''Film/StirCrazy'', ''Film/SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil'', and ''Another You''. They would have also starred together in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' if not for ExecutiveMeddling, though Pryor did remain on the film as a writer.
