Publisher's Note
Most comedians tell jokes. Paul Mooney tells the truth. And for more than forty years--whether writing for Richard Pryor and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, creating IN LIVING COLOR's Homey D. Clown and CHAPPELLE SHOW's Negrodamus, or performing stand-up to sold-out crowds around the country--he's been provocative, incisive, and always absolutely hilarious. BLACK IS THE NEW WHITE is an unapologetically candid memoir from a talent whose influence has ranged far wider than his fame--mostly by his own design. As head writer for THE RICHARD PRYOR SHOW, he helped tear down racial barriers and change the course of comedy. He helped Robin Williams and Sandra Bernhard break into show business. He paved the way for superstars like Eddie Murphy. And at every turn he's shunned the easy set-up and punch line in favor of comedy that's indisputably real and raw, reflecting the reality of race issues in America even when it's generated outrage. While other stars soared only to crash and burn, Paul Mooney has stayed chiefly behind the scenes, and he's got a lifetime of stories to show for it. Few have witnessed as much comedy history as Mooney; even fewer could recount it with such riotous honesty and depth of insight. He reveals the truth about his celebrated partnership with the brilliant, self-destructive Richard Pryor, from their first meeting to the very last joke, and reflects on some of his most notorious moments, including organizing a performers' strike on the iconic ComedyStore and publicly giving up the n-word in his act after Michael Richards's onstage outbursts. Decades ago, Paul Mooney set out not just to make audiences laugh but to make them think. BLACK IS THE NEW WHITE is the blisteringly funny, no-holds-barred story of how he continues to succeed wildly at both.
