This was actually very deep and relevant for today

[@dcta51]

Ikr. I was surprised.

[@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.

[@V1olin7]

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

[@darthelgor7852]

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).

I am so glad I randomly saw this interview

[@2koolken]

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

[@tellysantos2392]

He always is!!! Nothing higher then God!

[@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.

[@PhillipP93]

[@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]

[@keithmoran5695]

Preach Eddie so true what's going on in the world today.

[@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.

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.

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

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

He seems like didn't like what arsenio said

[@alonzosmith485]

[@blueblur2273]

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!

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. THATS IGNORANT. THATS falling for the Okie Doke.

[@G.b._esq]

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?

[@BCTTV_DTJ]

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

[@faithwatkins7811]

[@JasonWalkerJamaica]

Yes

[@darthelgor7852]

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.

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.

Voting is Power. Sometimes we have to Use it to keep it away from Others. That's Politics. We have to educate + push civics so that we grow future representatives from the mud who actually care about the people. When we have Power, we can place someone in who gives a _ , til then we have to play the game. Because either way, we're in the game. We shouldn'tn't be apathetic and expect a deity to fall out of the sky, especially one from a unquestionable _ belief system, that is often used to spark fear and control the people. We have to access Power 💯 and be accountable. Maybe We have to start running grassroots campaigns and elect someone respectfully educated + embodies the empathy necessary, some People from our hoods - so that we participate in the process that affects us whether we partake or not. 🇺🇲 🇺🇸
