It’s Richard Pryor running down the street.
On June 9, 1980, Pryor set himself on fire after freebasing cocaine while drinking 151-proof rum. He ran down Parthenia St. from his Northridge, California home until subdued by police. He was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for the burns covering more than half of his body. Pryor spent six weeks in recovery at the Grossman Burn Center at Sherman Oaks Hospital. …….At the end of the bit, he poked fun at people who told jokes about it by waving a lit match and saying, “What’s this? It’s Richard Pryor running down the street.” -Wikipedia
