Set at "Jurassic World". I would love to hear a Bob Newhart-style monolog from the point of view of the insurance broker tasked with getting insurance for JW.

Funny, I could never get into Pryor, either as a comedian or an actor. Something about him just rubs me the wrong way.

I haven't seen much of his stuff, but have wanted to watch his TV show for little kids for years--it's supposed to be brilliant, but he only did something like 12 episodes because CBS was convinced he was trying to get dirty jokes to grade schoolers under the radar and they second-guessed everything on every page, so he quit.

He did do an amazing bit in one of the few clips of his non-kid stuff that I *have* seen. It was in one of his concert films at the beginning, and he told the white people in the audience that they were safe and wouldn't be beaten, murdered, or raped, then followed up by telling the black people in the audience that the white people in the audience were scared out of their minds and if they acted friendly to them the white people might consider going to something else that wasn't all white in the future. Funny, but with a punch to it.
