Pryor shot back, "hey, Mike, sit down, you're embarrassing me", he didn't want anyone to see his own moves. The two had worked together on The Wiz.

And I was at a party one time with Michael Jackson, he's a singer, right? The man danced and he spent in the middle of the floor 20 minutes. And then he walked forward backwards. And I was dancing just, you know. And Mike said, come on, get into it. And I say, hey, Mike, sit down, you're embarrassing me. You know, don't let people know how bad I dance.
