Eddie Murphy - The Arsenio Hall Show - 1992

[@JrRimp]

I'm loving the best friend interviewing the best friend! Eddie doesn't get enough praise for how he never really switched up on the black community and tried to help many black actors and actresses that were not really known.

[@Supermalt-w9q]

Till this day lol

[@tomswill9189]

This is true

[@treybear8174]

He’s the king of the black movie....his movies transcend race which sounds corny and stupid but its true he’s the one true black actor that can lead an all black cast and the movie will do numbers worldwide

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Spike Lee didnt think so.

[@parkermudsen1063]

That was really cool how he showed love to Gary Coleman like that.

[@cristianalexanda4102]

So excellent he did that 👌🏾 respect

I wait for the day for Eddie Murphy to do a stand up comedy special again. What a monumental event that will be. 😊😊

[@SONOFPEARL315]

Don't hold ya breath for it, ma'am! 😂😂😂

[@josephcalderon906]

7:17-7:24 I love that moment,RIP GARY COLEMAN.

[@iSee109]

Very classy.

[@TheLegionofAwesome]

I liked that too. Usually, people made fun of him. The man was an excellent child actor going back to Good Times. Life couldn't have been easy for him with his illness also surrounded by leeches.

[@JAWrightonline]

Murphy (SNL) and Coleman (Diff'rent Strokes) contributed greatly to the popularity of NBC in the early 80s (before the Cosby Show).

[@jessiemalexander]

This was actually very deep and relevant for today

[@dcta51]

Ikr. I was surprised.

[@Ghanaquankel2776]

Lela Rochon was the baddest chick in the game back then.

[@boedye]

12:14 is where it gets into politics. This is actually a genuine conversation between friends.

[@louiscollins9496]

Just happen to stumble across this and everything Eddie said when the conversation got serious has relevance today! This aired in 1992 and here it is 2021, almost 30 years later!

[@procomicdiva]

Right? I was watching the night it aired....For weeks afterwards the ET shows were all over Eddie's comments. But, he was right then and he's right now.

[@CarlyneDTQTonPod]

literally got goosebumps from hearing what Eddie said on this interview I’m watching in 2022, and it’s all so true these days.

[@whiterecluse9442]

I read Revelations, and it didn't say anything about Rock the vote..... 😂

[@tiffanygilmore104]

Distinguished gentleman was such a good movie ahead of his time and really exposed government like no other did in 92. Boomerang all black cast doing their thing Eddie and Martin ruled my youth as a 80s baby

[@yeshuariverbear788]

The voting part is still true to this day. Wise dude.

[@steviecritiquenewby7874]

Same!!

[@Romper86]

WOW... Its 2021 I remember seeing this episode in 92... I didn't realize until now Eddie predicted Nov 2020 into Jan 2021

[@MariaLima-vi8vg]

I like what Eddie Murphy says here because he's telling the truth but he was a man ahead of his time especially when it comes to the whole voting aspect and politics. He's very smart.

[@shgarrett624]

Eddie is ahead of his time

[@mscapricorn-ce1pl]

Excellent talk show. I will buy all the seasons on DVD or Blu-Ray!

[@DarkSkies72]

Eddie has always been gorgeous and so funny. I adore him. ❤ Eddie please do stand-up again. We need you, it’s a crazy time to be alive.

[@lindareavis5971]

Eddie Murphy nailed this country!!!

[@niqulusviii987]

Eddie seemed very nebulous at this time in his life, he matured a great deal from Coming to America to Boomerang.

[@dj2bklyn]

Eddies totally on point about the voting and the people running the planet

[@osaji922]

I wonder where he got this knowledge from. He nailed it.

[@aaroniic]

@@osaji922 The bible

[@osaji922]

@@aaroniic Very likely.

[@aaroniic]

@@osaji922 He says it in the interview. He said “read your Bible” there are forces much higher than us that are controlling the minds of people. There’s our physical realm and then there’s a spiritual realm we aren’t aware of but have access to through prayer and time with God.

[@lloydjrob]

What a time to be alive

[@raymondkennedy8513]

Arsenio is the only host that will challenge Eddie in an interview.

[@marlonmcdonaldproject600]

It’s because they’re such good friends, that’s one main reason why. Since Arsenio knows Eddie so well and they’ve already worked together by this stage, that contributes alot to Arsenio already being comfortable around him and to ask him some of those challenging questions.

[@aminazulainaz7275]

I like Eddie's views on politics. We have to be very careful what we give our attention and energy too...and the AGREEMENTS we bind ourselves to in voting. Some feel it gives you the "right to complain" but I think it makes your complaint void.

He always is!!! Nothing higher then God!

[@zackeryscott9825]

They would have a dope podcast. They got good chemistry.

[@eliudm472]

Watching In 2023 and what he speaks about voting upto today makes total sense, he was ahead of his time and Woke Like The Matrix

[@2koolken]

The "God bless you" part towards the end could probably the most purest form of comedy - spontaneous, on time, unadulterated, funny, etc.

[@TheKeepItRealNetwork]

Eddie definitely surprised me in a good way by his views with voting. Makes you wonder if they tried to sabotage his career with those rumors about him because he was at the top speaking like this..

[@_swesters_]

I found it so so refreshing to hear views like that considering the political climate nowadays

[@aaroniic]

Then interestingly enough, a few months after this interview he stars in the movie called ‘Distinguished Gentleman’ which is pretty much exposing the inner workings of government officials in a comedic way. It’s funny that now that movie is hard to find anywhere.

[@Istoppedaging]

You must not be looking hard enough…. Ever hear of soap2day? I do agree that they tried to sabotage Eddie though. It’s unfortunate.

[@aaroniic]

@@Istoppedaging That was the point. You have to search deep into sites like that to find that movie. They never air it on TV.

[@Istoppedaging]

@@aaroniic Who watches TV anymore though lmao everyone streams. The point is, it's easy to find online. The movie is trash though lmao

[@DarkSkies72]

My mom always loved Arsenio Hall. Growing up when this talk show was on mom watched every night. She’s in her 70’s now and when she sees him on TV she can’t believe he hasn’t changed at all. She still loves him.

[@trevadixon6056]

Man!!! Im putting it out there Eddie and Arseno need to have a talk show!! Their chemistry is just so natural and entertaining and you genuinely feel the love and respect they have for each other! Even still today now that they have grown and matured and experienced life they still have that same energy with doing promo for Coming To America!! I love them and I want to see it happen!!!🙌🙌🙌

[@aaroniic]

Definitely. Check out their recent interview w/ Kevin Hart. It’s here on KZbin.

Eddie is also a Muscician/singer! "Party All The Time" is a great duet, song with Aquarius rick James.

13:15 Good lord, this man destroyed the 2020 election in 1992.

[@YeekTV_Atlanta]

Wow!!!! Eddie has been woke to the bullshit for a long time!!!!!

[@sholagan]

You can see the change in Eddie’s demeanor after the voting challenge.

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

He seems like didn't like what arsenio said

[@alonzosmith485]

He didn't

[@thizzaintwhatchuwant5823]

In my opinion, Arsenio was trying to use the politics section to encourage people (especially Black people) to go out &vote. But I don't think Eddie knew it was coming.

[@BCTTV_DTJ]

Yeah. Back then the 'Rock The Vote' campaign was in full swing trying to get young people to vote. There was a lot of promotion for it on MTV and shows like Arsenio that appealed to younger audiences. I always liked Eddie's "Smallest feet" analogy though. We really don't have a choice. George Carlin talked about it for years. As have many others. We have the "Illusion of choice."

[@aaroniic]

Yeah it got a bit tense but they handled it well. Arsenio probably had some words for Eddie after this though lol but overall this was a great interview and the dynamic between these two is incredible. A true brotherhood. I do feel Eddie could’ve been a bit more supportive of his homie by going along with some of the questions in order to support the Arsenio brand but hey.

Amazing how I can't watch full episodes of this talk show anywhere online or on any streaming service. Especially considering how groundbreaking it was. I mean at one point this show was one of the epicenters of not just black culture but pop culture. Everyone wanted to be on here to the point that you even had celebrities either in the crowd or backstage not even scheduled to appear but just hanging out. The 90s really is the greatest decade!

[@dj9one212]

crazy how they really talked about racism, voting and the government in the second half of this interview considering how big those conversations were last year in 2020

Arsenio took Eddie's ass to school about exercising the right to vote. That was a real conversation between friends 👏😎

[@massdagod]

I actually agreed with Eddie 100%. I’m not voting just to vote. Look up “benign neglect”. That is a tactic that had been used against black people since the 1970’s. Lol at “took Eddie’s ass to school”... 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

@@massdagod guess what, that's your right to not vote, but guess what: the people in power will definitely still be exercising their right to vote and stay winning. What people who don't vote fail to realize is that there are more issues at stake than just who becomes president. Issues and items that affect local government are also included on those ballots, so yeah, keep falling for the okie doke and refusing to participate. That's exactly what they want you to do...#stayignorant

[@TheFabulousLV]

I get what Eddie was saying and most people feel that way but you can’t not do anything and expect change. Voting is one of the most powerful things we can do collectively to make our voices heard.

[@massdagod]

@@TheFabulousLV I thinking RUNNING FOR OFFICE AND VOTING is the best thing we can do collectively. If I ever vote. I’m voting for someone who has set aside for black people ONLY. Not only that. I’d rather vote independent. I think voting just to vote is DAMAGING. Because they know they don’t have to promise black peoples anything.

[@massdagod]

@@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050 I think voting just to vote is DAMAGING. More damaging that not voting. Because they know they don’t have to promise black peoples anything. Every race got set asides for them except us. Why would the Democratic Party give us set asides if they know we will blindly vote for them? They already count our votes because they even run.

The next movie was “ the distinguished gentleman”… How do y’all feel about that? Can a movie be a flop and underrated at the same time?

The Shawshank Redemption flopped so I'd say the answer is 'Yes.'

[@faithwatkins7811]

I remember seeing the movie in the movie theatres and it was packed

[@JasonWalkerJamaica]

Yes

[@TheLegionofAwesome]

A lot of movies flopped and became cult classics. Some movies were panned by critics and went on to become classics. The Wizard of Oz was trashed by critics. The Distinguished Gentlemen is very underrated, so is Vampire in Brooklyn

[@aaroniic]

I feel like that movie was banned. It’s very hard to find today and never shows on TV. They touched on some serious stuff in there in a comedic way. Revealed a lot of political secrets.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

This is amazing! I love Eddie Murphy. Thank you so much for this! I remember reading an old article (dated around 1999) that spoke of Eddie and Arsenio no longer being friends bc of this ep. Apparently, Eddie was uncomfortable speaking about politics but Arsenio continued to ask him questions about the subject. I believe they didn't appear together until Eddie guested on Arsenio's new talk show. idk how much of this was true. idk how much of that is true. Eddie and Arsenio were nearly inseparable in the late 80s and early 90s but idk if they appeared in anything together for nearly 2 decades but this could also just be Hollywood gossip.

[@BCTTV_DTJ]

You're very welcome!

[@blueblur2273]

That sounds like gossip considering Eddie Murphy came back on the show to promote his album in 93 *Love's Alright* and Vampire in Brooklyn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apTPq5-hmZ2kpac So them not speaking to each other again until his return in 2013 can't be true. As far as the politics subject goes Eddie handled himself very well. He didn't seem flustered and explained his point very well. Kudos to Arsenio to ask him a question like that. It shows a real realness to not only the talk show but their friendship as well. That's something that is lacking in today's talk shows.

[@ghanasoul]

@@blueblur2273 you’re right. If there was REALLY beef, Eddie would’ve NEVER appeared with him in ANY medium again.
