Eddie talks about the earthquake we had in LA, receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, sending texts back and forth with Tracy Morgan quoting Planet of the Apes, the reason he turned down a Star Trek movie, watching Cocoon at Sammy Davis Jr’s house, his friendship with Michael Jackson, meeting Bubbles, making a documentary about his life, getting snowed in Rick James’ house for two weeks, his new movie You People with Jonah Hill, being on SNL in 1982, Robert Blake getting banned from show, his entourage, the most naturally funny person he has ever met, buying the original painting from Good Times, shooting Beverly Hills Cop 4, and never going to his good friend Arsenio Hall’s house.

    One time I binged all the Eddie Murphy appearances on talk shows. Mostly Letterman. So much more relaxed and appears happier now. Such a comedic genius

    Loved this clip but…am I the only one that thinks Jimmy looks like the Jolly Green Giant (minus the green) next to Eddie in that chair, especially in the two shot from the camera furthest left facing Jimmy. 6:50 & 15:28, etc. It’s funny as hell if that’s what you’re going for…but I’m thinking that’s not intentional. Eddie’s eyes are about even with Jimmy’s microphone. Looking forward to Eddie’s documentary.
