way lie performs is good ... he comes
on real aggressive."
Pryor, Ajaye said, used to come from
a "fight" stand. When his popularity
zoomed in the early and mid-70s, he
adversely affected other black comed
ians who tried to follow him.
"I don't know what audiences expect
ed (from other blacks after Pryor's fame),"
Ajaye said. "I do know that a lot of young
black comedians tried to be like him and
I think it hurt them.
"They came out thinking that pro
fanity was the key. But in truth, Pryor's
honesty and insight in dealing with his
characters made the profanity work.
The characters were so real that he could
slip the language in and make it seem
natural. The other guys figured, 'Hey,
I'll talk dirty and that'll do it,' but they
didn't have the talent Pryor does."
Bill Cosby's long-time success makes
him "someone to look up to," Ajaye
said.
"Cosby has become an institution in
America ... a black man has done that,"
lie said. "He's learned how to deal with
the business said of being successful, and
it's obvious he has learned how to deal
with the wlute man. They're the power
structure, yet they're giving him huge
chunks of money."
Ajaye said his own characters come
from real life and his own memories.
Comedy is often instant and spontaneous,
as much of his show Thursday turned out
to be.
"When I walked out, I knew right
away 1 couldn't do my regular show,"
Ajaye said. "You need energy from the
audience to do comedy, and obviously
my act had to change from what I do
when 500 people are out there.
"That's why I opened it up to questions
and hoped that that would bring some
things back to me . . . and it did, with
the football and class and so on."

A front-page article in Friday's Daily Nebraskan, profiling
