Dennis, I discovered from the Washington Post article that Pryor did,
indeed, write parts of the "Blazing Saddles" script, including the famous
beans/campfire scene.
  Although I'm a great admirer of Pryor, I would be happy for somebody to
explain to me what's funny about that particular scene, or about "Blazing
Saddles," or indeed about Mel Brooks.
