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

Eddie talks about his love of reality shows, realizing his age while filming Beverly Hills Cop 4, an amazing photograph he took with a bunch of legendary stars in 1990 at a tribute to Sammy Davis Jr., meeting Frank Sinatra, having dinner with Lola Falana, the rumor that Stevie Wonder isn’t actually blind, his new movie Candy Cane Lane, his favorite holiday movies, the gifts he gets from his kids, his $100,000 bet with Richard Pryor, and daring Dick Cavett to do crazy things in the 80s.

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.

I saw this on Kimmel. I'm also privileged to have seen Eddie's RAW Concert live back in 1986 in Richmond, Virginia (at the old Richmond Coliseum). Eddie's star rose at a very magical time, in that he came of age and superstardom when Hollywood was still "golden" - where a lot of the titans of show business were alive and well and still viable - as that group photo shows. They all were probably as awed of Eddie as he was of them!! I get the sense that, at moments, Eddie feels "alone" because of lot of them have passed on - even though he's revered by today's comics, entertainers and others in the spotlight. Long live Eddie Murphy!!
