Eddie Murphy on Iconic Celebrity Filled Photo, $100,000 Bet with Richard Pryor & New Christmas Movie

[@sirobin171]

This is a brilliant interview because Eddie is notoriously quiet in interviews and Jimmy does such a good job of bringing him out of his shell in this one.

I came here from a comment on the Beatles “Now and Then” video. I, too, watch the video over and over, at least once a day. Eddie Murphy was hilarious on SNL back in the 80s when both of us were young. I’m almost 61 and it’s great to see Eddie at 62 still rockin’ and loving the Beatles. My favorite part of this interview was when Eddie said that he couldn’t run down the stairs that fast. I hear you, Eddie. I can’t either. But I love being in my early 60s and you look great, Eddie!

I am a Dave Chappelle fan but some of you claim that he is the best to ever do it. No he is not and even Dave will tell you that Eddie is the best to ever do it. Legends like Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx paved the way for Eddie but there is no one else quite like him. Eddie paid for Chris Rock to fly first class to go perform on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Eddie put Chris and Dave in his movies (Boomerang and Nutty Professor). Eddie was a legendary cast member on Saturday Night Live, was a legendary standup comedian, starred in iconic comedies (too many to name), was the voice of Donkey in Shrek, sang and danced in Dreamgirls and put out hit songs like "Party All The Time" in the 80's. Eddie is the GOAT and it's not even close. I could listen to him tell stories all day.

That's it! "EDDIE MURPHY - A SURREAL LIFE". His natural humor will come out when he tells the story, so it's gonna be funny, regardless, and if he does a tour, he can just tell a different set of stories and no one will know what his set is gonna be, even if they tried to film it, so it would never get a spoiler!
