Beverly Hills Cop came out that year, his best IMO.

[@loslocotaco]

Yeah young Eddie was a different beast altogether. He was quick witted, fast, foul, he didn't care. Old Eddie, slower, not as witty. Not as foul...yeah those were the good ol' days

[@rufusgoldstein2655]

Joe Piscopo & Eddie Murphy were a great duo when they were on SNL.

Lol his character isn't even 1 dimensional. He's 3/5ths dimensional. I'm Carl Lewis!

[@robertfish4052]

I love the over applied ridicule. Who was the sprinter again?

[@bigneiltoo]

This was on HBO in 1984 and we watched it about 100 times. There were a dozen similar and hilarious skits, one with Joe playing the drums. He was really talented.

[@jcc2917]

It was great. The Joe Piscopo Special. I was a kid and we owned it on VHS and watched it over and over again. All the skits were funny. I was so disappointed and confused by his second special, it was truly awful. He was on steroids and kept talking about his son and how much he loved him which is nice but not at all funny. But his first one is a classic.

[@weenibeenies]

check out mikey, his son’s channel, one of the coolest slickest guitarists i’ve seen 💥

[@theivory1]

That's fn perfect. That's exactly what Lewis did. He would refer to himself as Carl Lewis over, and over and over. He was the greatest.

[@mcboltron]

hahah his carl lewis impression is him yelling "i'm carl lewis man!"

I love that Eddie doesn't even try to actually imitate Carl Lewis...it's just so great!

[@oRuTRa45]

That's what makes this sketch so funny to me.

[@joelluongo7419]

I have a sense of humor.. so I get the comedy. You need to have a sense of humor.. or the skit will go right over your head.

[@DeathbySkullfxxx]

Well its only really important to imitate a person when overall people know what rhe impression should be like.

[@hollyweird8]

This may be the most perfect comedy piece I've ever seen. I've watched it at least 100 times. I can't imagine any way that it might be improved upon. REALLY BRILLIANT ! I think it's right up there with "WHO'S ON FIRST?"

[@r.dbergman4034]

Eddies run on SNL was amazing. I personally think it's his funniest stuff.

[@kdub3892]

Omg. I watched this and forgot all of the Eddie greats on SNL. Eddie being Eddie being somebody else is the best.

[@stevekelley3709]

Hilarious stuff. I love that Eddie Murphy's impression of Carl Lewis was just him being Eddie Murphy but yelling "I'm Carl Lewis." In 1984, that was kind of the point. Eddie Murphy was a bigger star than any of the people in this sketch, including Carl Lewis. People didn't get it then, but they do now, and that's why we never see anything like this today.

[@nichhodge8503]

Carl Lewis didn’t become the “fastest man in the world” until after the Seoul Olympics in 88 (and Lewis still technically came 2nd in the 100m) when Ben Johnson was banned for 4yrs for using steroids. I watched the race as a kid and Ben Johnson left Carl Lewis & Linford Christie for dead winning in the time of 9.79sec smashing the old world record (no wonder they drug tested him) and it wasn’t until Usain Bolt at the Beijing Olympics that, that time was equalled (the Bolt smashed that record again with a time which I can’t see being beat for decades maybe 100yrs)

[@JoeHynes284]

@@nichhodge8503 damn, i actually remember watching that race!!

[@nichhodge8503]

@@JoeHynes284 yeah I remember Ben Johnson had shaved his head bald, had a gold chain around his neck, was wearing the red coloured shirt & shorts that represented Canada and he also looked like he had put on a lot of muscle mass since I last saw him (maybe he didn’t but compared to Carl Lewis & Linford Christie he was huge). I also remember the headline in the sports page of the newspaper my parents bought which said “Ben The Bullet” only to have his name dragged through the mud in the papers the following days as a drug cheat. It’s funny what things stick in your mind as a child as I was 6 at the time and 7 later on in the year and I remember that the race was on either 7am or 8am because of the time difference between Korea and England
