-Eddie, part of being a legend means that you spend some time

with other legends, and I was thinking that I could say

maybe the name of another iconic person and you can tell me

the first memory or story that comes to your mind.

-No, no, no, I only have like five legends.

-He was so nice and sweet to me, and I loved to make him laugh.

There was nothing more rewarding than to say something

and have Richard Pryor -- [ Laughs as Pryor ]

That's how he laughed. [ Laughs as Pryor ]

When Richard did that, you would be like...

-Rodney Dangerfield -- I met him when I was young.

I was 17. I played the Comic Strip down in Fort Lauderdale,

and Rodney Dangerfield came in and bumped everybody.

And all the comics are like, "Dangerfield!"

[ As Dangerfield ] Yeah, no, I tell you --

[ Normal voice ] And all that stuff he was doing.

And I was like, "Mr. Dangerfield, please,"

[ As Dangerfield ] Yeah, you know, you use a lot of

Where are you gonna go talking that kind of stuff?

[ Normal voice ] He gave me all this stuff.

I get on "Saturday Night Live," and three years go by.

I'm at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and I'm at a urinal.

and he comes in the urinal right next to me.

And I look over and he looks over at me and says...

[ Normal voice ] That's my Rodney Dangerfield story.

-At least he was funny. -He was totally real with it.

-[ Normal voice ] My favorite Rodney joke, he goes,

"My wife's cooking is so bad. Are you kidding me?

I mean, since when does toast have bones?"

Since when does toast have bones, you know?

[ Normal voice ] So to have that guy tell you,

It was like the perfectly timed three-year gap.

And right, you look over, he's right there.

-I remember you -- You did Ali, didn't you?

but there's not another person that inspired me

I think he's the greatest African-American

that ever lived, that ever walked the Earth.

Like, no one had the impact like Muhammad Ali.

For my 40th birthday, he gave me a plaque with a glove on it.

It was like, "From your brother Muhammad Ali."

My most treasured thing is this cool little plaque from Ali.

Do you remember that Ed Bradley interview he did
