I wish I had a time machine those were the days. Thank You for sharing.

That's what this is.

You are so right

[@JPMJPM]

It still blows my mind that he made 48 Hours and Trading Places by the time he was 22.

[@douglaslowe5]

And Beverly hills cop the next year. Trading places is one of my all time favorites.

[@nickhill8612]

@@douglaslowe5 What year did Beverley Hills Cop 3 come out? (Metro)

[@johnotto4931]

He was a jerk to tell Carson no about doing Cosby- he was invited to pitch his movie and snubbed Carson

[@mikealanzo]

That jacket is MJ's jacket in Thriller only in silver/gray... MJ really stirred things around back in the 80's!!!

[@elgatofelix8917]

Nah it just looks similar

[@musicalmelodies3595]

The weird part is that this show was in early 1983 but Thriller wasn't filmed until late 1983. So maybe MJ borrowed this idea from Eddie 🤔

[@sheldontaylor2002]

Leather outfits were the style… this is 1983. all the early New York rappers and rock groups wore leather back then

[@mikekillagreen9432]

Then wore a similar outfit in Raw. But laughed at dudes wearing in Beverly Hills Cop

[@iccus62]

in beverley hills cop he laughs at two men wearing pretty much what he has on in this clip.

@Bill Ferrero is that why Michael Jackson turned his skin white ? He seemed to look ok with the stuff he had on.

[@qdominika7253]

@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes i think Michael got away with this cause it was for video clips

He laughed because they were wearing it because Ed did in his standup. He was basically laughing at himself.

hahahaha good one!! Classic scene in that movie. Now I gotta compare these two outfits, they're about the same

[@gamernorcal]

Eddie's was the biggest star in the world at this time.

[@Jesse-cx4si]

I love that Eddie was never gonna be played. Carson: “Do a little Cos’.” Murphy: “No.” …and Johnny didn’t push because he had a thing called, “class.” Modern hosts push and push and make it all awkward.

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

Imagine, Johnny Carson asks you to do an impression, and you say “No. “. The balls on this guy. Impressive. But really , he just didn’t have any jokes to go along with it.

[@Herbeeboy]

Should have been prepared with some stock lines with the Coz's voice. He was limited in his experience otherwise would have.

Johnny is the best

[@robotron17]

I reversed the part at 1:12. The reverse part says ...... "I'm into a lot of". ha ha. They cut out whatever he said and reversed the beginning part of the sentence. It will remain a mystery.

[@MrOnemanwolfpack]

I think he said 'hallucinogens'.

[@cindyperino9313]

I rewatched it 5 times and still don’t know what he said.

[@noneyabuiznezz]

Yearning for the good old days when things were less politically correct. Loved this thanks

[@jonathanaugustin647]

4:24 - The way Eddie was able to maintain his answer in spite of all of that pressure from the audience and Johnny though! And still did it in a playful, non-snobbish, way. I wonder why he was so against doing it.

[@aaroniic]

I think he hated the idea of becoming known for just his SNL characters and also being treated like a caricature. I saw another interview where he said during this era it was easy for an actor on a comedy series to become known for just their character and not be able to get any other work because most people don’t take them seriously. This happened to a lot of actors on sitcoms back then.

[@joe-vz6hx]

If you watched it all he was talking about Pryor and then brought up Cosby. This was way before Cosby’s legal troubles. And he said Cosby is a bad dude.

[@lisab7977]

Funny he never knew who Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche were, then they appeared in Coming to America!

[@PlanetEarth3141]

You know, the thing about Eddie, at least while young was he wins by being himself. I still see him doing that as he is now reentering Hollywood or Standup comedy. There's no pretense, nothing fictional. He just does his thing. He's like the class clown who by his nature is popular and attracts others by sincerity of response. I used to be the same way, until I turned white.

[@lisab7977]

22?!?! He looks the same today. Ageless!!!
