So glad Eddie is back on screen RIP Charlie Murphy

[@Mellszx978]

Losing a brother isn’t easy. You can still see the pain behind his eyes. RIP Charlie Murphy

[@rustyshackleford4822]

No young comedian was ever as funny as Eddie Murphy. I've never seen any other 18 year old with that much natural ability. 🐐

Eddie seems to be a really easy interview. That's dope of him to not be tripping off of himself, even at this point of his illustrious career.

[@syleiswiley4037]

He's chill and I like it

[@AutoYoung]

Right. He's one of the greatest comedians of all time and is just so down to earth an respectful. This man was mentored by greats like Richard Pryor and Red Fox on a personal level. There's comedians with not even a 1/4 of his talent that have a nerve to be arrogant. Eddie is awesome...

[@stefaunwatson4806]

@@AutoYoung You made a very valid point!

[@katherinjohnson9727]

I'm happy he is back in business 😊

[@rodentcafeteria]

She asks questions where she "assumes" to know how Eddie must have felt about certain aspects or points in his career, and each time his answer was "No, I didn't think that" or "No, I didn't feel that way." Stop making assumptions that YOU know how HE must have felt. Just ask him. Very touching that he dedicated the movie to his late brother.

[@kcoolmuziq_Media_Mogul]

Was lucky to work with both Eddie and his brother Charlie. Best comedians EVER!

[@bmwmpower5829]

I love the Murphy brothers. RIP brother Charlie.

Absolutely love Murphy, and am excited to see him return in this retro-type comedy. Only request: get Snipes and the rest (Snoop, Craig Robinson, etc, etc) into the studio for an interview.

[@Dru2Usucka]

He is right about Rudy Ray Moore.... He was determined to get those jokes to you! It’s classic stuff, but if you can listen to a Dolomite record, do yourself the favor.

[@dianne8340]

I loved going to the theater on Saturdays to see Black movies with movie stars like Rudy Ray Moore, Pam Greer, Jim Kelly, Thalmus Rasulala, Bernie Casie, Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, Ron O'Neal, Melvin Van Peebles, etc. Dolemite was a sharp dressing, slick talking, rhyming, Kung fu fighting, ladies man who didn't take any shit from the man or gangsters.

[@Dru2Usucka]

Dianne I can dig it!✌🏾

[@RonnieGorotto]

This interviewer asks really great questions.

[@LeonardTaylor700]

What’s crazy is he’s so rich he doesn’t need to do this..... It’s truly for the love of his art that we are lucky to see him work and not just work but go back to his roots.... this is a great time for comedy and to be PROUD to be BLACk

[@angelmason23]

This interview was a complete yawn...thankfully, Eddie Murphy has been in this business long enough to know how to carry an interview on his own.

[@tusk6817]

@stryfetc1 lol except she repeatedly assumed things about who she interviewed without doing any research. Leading to multiple awkward moments where he literally had to tell her she was wrong in her assumptions. That’s called a bad interview.

netflix special im ready

what’s the interviewers name?

Mr. Murphy can we get a Norbit 2 I don’t know what the storyline would be but can we get another

[@TruSoulDj]

🤢

[@CharlieGoldDirector]

no thank you

[@dianne8340]

Norbit and Bowfinger are two of the worst movies that Eddie Murphy ever starred and I am sure that there are several other movies to add to this list. We don't need another lame Norbit movie.

[@CharlieGoldDirector]

@@dianne8340 Bowfinger was actually a really good film.

djleslie777 i read that too..a couple of those questions were like.....did you do your research on him?? A couple of the questions she assumed instead ask him direct questions. went through the same as Rudy... other than that she was a delight.

stand up nowadays is more political biased agreements then actual talent of telling something funny. Compare; "RAW", "The Elephant in the room" Or a Chappelle special from the early 2000's and compare it to any amy schumer, SNL "comic" or these new age hipsters.
