AE’s Right to Offend: The Black Comedy Revolution has been showcasing the historic highs that have led to barriers being broken in the comedy business. And according to Steve Harvey, these members on and off of his “Mount Rushmore of Comedians,” are who we have to thank for such heights. During the recently aired episode, Harvey appeared to replace the former presidents on the monument with the funny stylings of Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock.

“When you put stand-ups in a rock, it’s Dave Chappelle in that rock, it’s Chris Rock in that rock, it’s Kevin Hart in that rock, and the Kings of Comedy is a collective group in that rock.” He also paid homage to the late Richard Pryor and the legendary Eddie Murphy. “Richard Pryor is a stand-alone dude,” he said in the episode. “You know, if there was a Mount Rushmore, he don’t even get on the mountain. He continued, “He’s a whole peak by hisself; he’s Mount Hood. Now, you can come up with your Mount Rushmore of Comedy, and you can put some people up there you want, but not Pryor. Pryor is a standalone entity.”

The 65-year-old multifaceted performer would go on to speak about Eddie Murphy as well, saying, “[He] is a peak by himself. Nothing we can do with them boys. They not included; that ain’t gonna happen.” His choices reflect a new hierarchy in comedy in where Rock, Chappelle, and Hart have dominated stage and screen, charting in huge box office number whether on tour or via deals with streaming services like Luminary and Netflix. Harvey, who included his own group which featured himself, Bernie Mac, D.L. Hughley, and Cedric the Entertainer, said that these comments reflect a “bad-a** Mount Rushmore,” and that if anyone felt any different then it’s because “your a** don’t know what I know.”
